Posted: Tuesday, April 30, 2019Today: Town Hall on SUNY Libraries Consortium Negotiations with Elsevier
If you are interested in learning more about the SUNY Libraries Consortium negotiations with Elsevier in advance of the current contract’s December 2019 expiration and sharing your thoughts on the services provided by Elsevier, please attend a town hall meeting today, April 30, during Bengal Pause (12:15–1:30 p.m.) in Bulger Communication Center 214. If you are unable to attend Buffalo State’s town hall in person, you can virtually attend by Zoom meeting (log-in via computer) or by phone at (646) 558-8656 with meeting ID 105421828.
These forums are intended to update campuses on the SUNY Libraries Consortium negotiations with Elsevier to maintain access to the ScienceDirect product, and to solicit feedback from the campuses on the value and impact of the Elsevier contract in our work. As many of you are probably aware, the University of California System could not reach agreement with the publisher, and similar situations have been playing out across the European Union. The current SUNY contract comes up for renewal in December. Buffalo State’s town hall is one of eight events being held across SUNY this spring.
