Subject: Hold the date: May 7th Journal Discovery Vendor Showcase
At the request of library deans/directors from the Colorado
Alliance of Research Libraries, we have scheduled a product showcase on
discovery systems which have an emphasis on journal literature. Some of
you have had visits from some of these vendors but being able to see all of the
major competitors in this area in one day will help in making an informed
licensing decision. About two years ago we did another vendor showcase on
the more general topic of next generation discovery systems with products such
as Encore, AquaBrowser, Indigo (TLC) and others. This new program will
feature new solutions that have arisen since that time or vendors which have
made a concerted effort to bring in large quantities of journal article
literature into their environment.
The location for the meeting has not yet been confirmed but
the date is solid with all vendors agreeing to this date. If you are
available and interested in this program please add this date to your
calendar. Please contact Geri Virtue to register.
Sincerely,
George
As always – our apologies for cross posting on
different listservs
