[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Hello,

Below is information about upcoming vendor-specific negotiation discussions hosted by SPARC. You do not need to be a SPARC member to participate. To ensure folks can speak as candidly as possible, these sessions are not recorded.

We hope you’ll be able to attend.

Subject: Upcoming Vendor-Specific Negotiation Discussions on Health Sciences Products

Over the next two months, SPARC will continue our series of vendor-specific negotiation discussions with our next round focusing on health sciences products, specifically those of Lippincott Williams & Wilkins/Ovid, ClinicalKey, and Sage/Mary Ann Liebert. Please find the dates, times, and registration links for each below.

Lippincott Williams & Wilkins/Ovid: May 12, 2-3pm ET / 11am-12pm PT (register here<https://sparcopen-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/Lw8YrAdyQx-GK1abNUUplA>)
ClinicalKey: May 26, 2-3pm ET / 11am-12pm PT (register here<https://sparcopen-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/TDTu7i-lTeSjzC2sCSNo5Q>)
Sage/Mary Ann Liebert: June 16, 2-3pm ET / 11am-12pm PT (register here<https://sparcopen-org.zoom.us/meeting/register/GJhW7On8TpGsoUTijb5xoA>)

These discussions will be co-facilitated by Kristin Sederstrom (University of Kansas Medical Center) and Eve Stano (University of Iowa).

These briefings are designed to help reduce the information asymmetries between vendors and libraries and to provide support in negotiations. Libraries at any stage of the negotiation process with these vendors are welcome to join.

We hope you (or the appropriate folks at your library) will join us, and feel free to share this directly with library colleagues who may be interested!
