<div dir="ltr"><div>Greetings,</div><div><br></div><div>Library folks sometimes wish that they had covered vendor negotiations in greater depth in their MLIS curriculum.

practical strategies using an academic library context of negotiating vendor
agreement, but these theories and strategies are very helpful in public libraries as well.</div><div><br></div><div>Additional details about the <a href="https://oneal-project.org">project</a> are below, with a link to an <a href="https://sparcopen-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_igV5wXYhS0677SnT1OAKdA">introductory webinar</a> on May 2.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope you find this helpful!</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div><br></div><div>Christine<br>
