    Hello Max,<br>
    <br>
    Yes, I did see the page you provided. My guess is that similar to
    many Oregon communities, the ethnic groups you mentioned are not
    represented by large numbers of the population in Israel. I was just
    asking for clarification as I did not see a correlation between your
    hash tags and the link you provided. I honestly thought I missed
    part of a conversation.  As a librarian who lives and works on the
    Oregon Coast, my perspective is that homogeneous systems are alive
    and well in the library field. This is not something I am proud of
    but like the many of my colleagues I am proud to be in a field which
    generally protects the democratic rights of its communities and I
    would never fault my organization, or any other, for its cultural
    makeup without first doing a ton of research.<br>
    <br>
    I believe when it comes down to it, at a fundamental level, many of
    us share your sentiments, Max. For instance, the major focal point
    of my work in public libraries is centered on information literacy
    instruction (just saw your recent post) and constantly learning new
    ways to sensitively address these needs for all members of my
    community. It is unfortunate if my request for clarification led to
    any "attacks" as I was only respectfully responding to a
    conversation.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks for responding,<br>
    <br>
    Paul<br>

                <div class=""> 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>
