<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">I am so happy you all are doing this survey! As you saw in the LLC report, we were not able, in the first iteration, to get CTC libraries into the Newsbank pilot,
but we have that as a priority for the next round. Newsbank also excluded school libraries. As part of setting up the pilot with Newsbank, we asked them to project pricing for the next 5 years, so we don’t start the pilot and then learn it’s not affordable
to our users. It became too much work for the Newsbank sales team at address every library in the state, so we had to scope down the project. We were slated to start January 1, and we need to get started!

<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">At yesterday's LLC meeting, the WACTCLC Exec Committee asked for a volunteer to work with Wade, Andrew, Candice and Howard on a short term electronic resources project. We are seeking someone to
work with this team to look at the electronic resources we share across the state as well as what the CTC library priorities might be around Electronic Resources. We're hoping this group will be able to present a preliminary report that we can respond to
at the April LLC meeting. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">If you are interested in helping conduct a survey and analyze some existing data about what electronic resources we have, need, and how they are used, please contact Wade Guidry
<a href="mailto:WadeG@bigbend.edu">WadeG@bigbend.edu</a> or me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:black">Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
