<p>Max, I <em><u>am </u></em>sorry I called you a troll. Really, I am. It was a knee-jerk reaction to being lumped in with white supremacists! :( My feelings were very hurt by that. Yes, I'm white but I've actively worked against discrimination in my community
and nationally. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really do agree with you Max that the library world is not as diverse as it could be...just as there are not as many women in higher positions as there could be. I think this could have been a great topic for discussion, however unfortunately it didn't
feel like any discussion was wanted.</p>

<div>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>

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>
<br>
Thanks for any clarification you might provide,<br>
<br>
Paul

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>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>
