Program Description

Libraries and vendors are all too often trapped in the paradigm of simply exchanging content and services for dollars. Moving away from this legacy approach, our panel will ask: How can vendors and libraries build strategic partnerships? How can we collaborate to create better resources and services and to transform the scholarly communication ecosystem? What can impede these partnerships? What are some best practices for libraries to negotiate and advocate effectively and ethically with vendors? Are positive working relationships always necessary or feasible? What roles can library consortia play in this ecosystem? And ultimately, how can we as libraries collectively build, negotiate, sustain, leverage, and transform our vendor relationships?
