inform the ONEAL Project, as we develop curriculum and OER (open education resources)
to support developing negotiation skills in academic libraries. Your
experiences will inform instruction design as project staff develop resources
and tools centered on academic library experiences. We will send you a link to
the session the day prior to the event.</span><span></span></p>

<p style="background:white;margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span style="color:black">The ONEAL Project will
design community-informed negotiation education for academic library workers to
better engage with third party vendors. Throughout the curriculum development
process, feedback will be sought from our colleagues in academic libraries and
library science programs about their experiences with vendors during
negotiations. To foster a safe environment, where attendees can candidly
discuss issues and strategies, we are asking attendees to describe the nature
of any current service, consulting, or advisory work with vendors when
registering for events. With the exception of project partners, we ask that
employees from library vendors refrain from registering for our community
forums. We look forward to hearing about the experiences of our colleagues who
serve in capacities that may create a conflict of interest in future projects.</span><span></span></p>
