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>

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>

<div class=""> Northwest colleagues,<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>
