[lstac] Database content challenges

[Rachel Cook]

We had a database challenge (specifically EBSCO) back in 2018
<https://www.oif.ala.org/oif/utah-education-network-reinstates-access-to-ebsco-database-for-students-across-utah/>.
There was a lot of back and forth but basically we were able to overcome it
by our State Librarian and others speaking on our behalf in the state
school board meetings. I can give more information but we worked hard to
create a statement, work with librarians in the state, and present
eloquently.

Hope that helps!

Thanks,
Rachel
