Benefits for participating: * Influence license agreement terms and negotiations at MCLS * Advance knowledge of potential group purchasing changes * Virtual networking with other participants through an email list * Thanks and the appreciation of MCLS and your colleagues Expectations for participants: * Available up to four times per year for synchronous conversations from the comfort of your office or library (AKA virtual meetings) * Willing to participate in honest, tactful conversations on the email list and during virtual meetings We’ll kick-off in May 2022.
