LSP issues: Named user and bibliographic record limits (Ex Libris contract-related matters). This is an issue of how substantially over the contract numbers we are in each case, and how this could affect overall costs going forward if changes are not made. It’s important to know that March 31 looms as a reckoning point.The webinar will present the problems and ramifications. But the webinar will also present solutions, with next steps and some ideas for strategies to consider at the college/institution level. The LSP Task Force and the Governance Committee have sorted through this and know how to move forward. With the engagement and involvement of every library, adjustments can be made to satisfactorily tackle these problems.

Marc Cormier, Product Manager Lead at ProQuest, is interested in learning about specific content and user experience needs of students, faculty, and libraries in the community college space. ProQuest is conceptualizing a multidisciplinary product crafted specifically for community colleges, focusing on the most important and relevant content for students whether their goal is to earn an associates degree, build towards a 4-year degree, or focus on certifications in the trades, nursing, or other skilled professions. The goal is to understand what “comprehensive” means to faculty and students at the community college level and what kind of interface/user experience will best support research success for students regardless of their academic goals. Presented by the ProQuest team.
