Did you not see the page?

I didn't see any Asian, Latinos, or Blacks in their leadership.

Please correct me if I am mistaken.

Homogeneous systems are defunct.

I'm saying that for a company who does business in the US, this organization's leadership seems AWFULLY homogeneous.

Incidentally, from my perspective, those hash tags can cover the entire library industry.

Thanks!

Hello Max,

Could you please be more specific with your claim? Seems like a serious accusation given the hash tags (?) you have included here.

Maybe, I missed part of the conversation?

Thanks for any clarification you might provide,

Paul

I don't like companies who are not ethnically diverse and I think
Oregon Tax Payer money should only go to business partners who are
ethnically diverse.

Northwest colleagues,

You may be aware that the Alliance has been encouraging EBSCO and Ex Libris to reach a data sharing agreement that allows EBSCO content to be fully represented in Primo.  Although this particular conversation involves these two vendors, it is part of a broader principal.  We continue to hold that libraries must be able to make independent decisions about content and discovery.  All of the content our members purchase must be fully available via our chosen discovery system.

As you will recall, in April EBSCO announced a new metadata sharing policy.  Since that time we have been analyzing this proposal and have engaged with both vendors. Now the Alliance Board has formally responded. In brief the Board's letter to EBSCO and Ex Libris says that we celebrate this step in the right direction but that it is not enough.  The letter asks for a quick implementation timeline and a roadmap for more.
See the latest letter and entire dialog at https://www.orbiscascade.org/ebsco-ex-libris/ [1]

Best wishes.
