<p style="margin:0in;background:white"><span style="font-family:Roboto;color:#202124">In our work with digitization and digital preservation, most of us use vendors for various parts of the process—ranging from purchasing equipment, outsourcing the capture
and metadata/OCR/transcription, cloud storage platforms, to discovery platforms, and more. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0in;background:white"><span style="font-family:Roboto;color:#202124">For this meeting we are<b> seeking folks for lightning talks
</b>about a vendor experience, then we will <b>break into small discussion groups</b> focused on different types of vendor products.

and tricks. For example, when we had a program on purchasing book scanners some years back, I learned that the price is not THE price—negotiation can come into play! And, what companies stood behind their service agreements like a champ--and who fell short. <i>Come
and share with us and join in a lively discussion!</i><o:p></o:p></span></p>
