<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">One of the issues Sue had with this product (as it stands currently) is the focus on textbooks. We both agreed (and George too) that future development of Faculty Select and the incorporation of non-textbook materials
would make the product much more robust for our local OER purposes. There wasn’t a definite answer on when additional material types would be included.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There was some discussion about the EBSCO’s Faculty Select product at last week’s LLC meeting. George Dragich told me that EBSCO won’t allow trials because people could capture what they want during the trial and then not subscribe. I
would like to see how much interest there is in subscribing to a pilot year. I want to be in a strong position to bargain for a lower price.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Would you please take a minute to answer this survey: <a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveymonkey.com%2Fr%2F7BRY33T&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ccff826e4209d4c2389d308d720e8172a%7C02d8ff38d7114e31a9156cb5cff788df%7C0%7C0%7C637014053508937208&sdata=FKDuon4o919RumUSemKgKFScyEiSwlgNlCwX0rpWtIo%3D&reserved=0">
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7BRY33T</a> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is really short, I promise! I will share the responses.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I connected Boyoung Chae with George Dragich last week. George will give a presentation to State Board staff next week on Thursday. I would like to share the results with Boyoung so she knows there is interest among libraries. I hope
that the SBCTC will throw a little money towards this. Your responses will help—even if you are not interested!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
