<p dir="ltr">Max is a good person and not a troll. I usually enjoy his postings on Facebook. I think that in this case he may not have done the research he should have done before posting.</p>
<p dir="ltr"> I did notice only one woman as part of the Ex Libris management team, which never thrills me but is not unusual. I think it doesn't hurt to look at the diversity of the groups with which we work. Maybe this message can just serve as a general reminder that taking a look at the diversity of a company is a good thing to do.</p>

Who IS This Max person? Does anyone know him or her? What institution does he/she work for? My thought is we have a troll in our midst. My suggestion would be to remove this person from the list. If their institution would like them on it again, they can let us know and we can let them know why they were removed. Max's argument, as we can all see, is ludicrous (really, libraries are all run by white supremacists??) and it doesn't even hold together. Let's not waste any more time on trolls.<br>

Perhaps it would be more useful to direct your concerns about diversity to Orbis Cascade, rather than generalizing an Israeli run company and an entire industry as white supremacists.<br>
<br>
You are, after all, a part of that industry as well……<br>

Did you not see the page?<br>
<br>
I didn't see any Asian, Latinos, or Blacks in their leadership.<br>
<br>
Please correct me if I am mistaken.<br>
<br>
<br>
Homogeneous systems are defunct.<br>
<br>
<br>
I'm saying that for a company who does business in the US, this organization's leadership seems AWFULLY homogeneous.<br>
<br>
Incidentally, from my perspective, those hash tags can cover the entire library industry.<br>

Hello Max,<br>
<br>
Could you please be more specific with your claim? Seems like a serious accusation given the hash tags (?) you have included here.<br>
<br>
Maybe, I missed part of the conversation?<br>

Thanks for any clarification you might provide,<br>

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

Northwest colleagues,<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
