<p class="MsoNormal">As was pointed out to me, some of you are fairly recent to your directorships and deanships, and may not possess the background knowledge I was assuming. And, for those longer tenured, the most recent meaningful group discussion on the
topic of electronic resources dates back a couple of years. <o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="color:#212121">My message yesterday was an attempt to highlight the existence of those concerns among those of you with Kanopy subscriptions. Since, within the Alma / Primo group, while staff had individually noted and were concerned about Kanopy
changes, no one was really aware that other institutions were as equally aware or concerned.

<span style="color:#212121">I thought perhaps those of you who are Kanopy licensors, recognizing a common concern, might want to discuss the topic together, via listserv or Zoom. And perhaps even have a shared conversation with the regional Kanopy rep, to allow
everyone to get the same story from Kanopy at the same time.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
