Evaluating Prospective Vendor Partners at a Library Consortium
Thursday October 17, 2024 4:30pm - 4:50pm EDT
ZOOM (see attendee email for the day's link)
New vendors regularly enter the market, and libraries need their consortia to help vet these new companies and products and negotiate library-friendly licensing and pricing. But how do library consortia identify vendors with which to partner? How do consortia vet these vendors and make decisions? What considerations come into play? In this session, two consortium strategists will present and discuss a new evaluative framework developed at Lyrasis to vet and select new vendor partners transparently, consistently, and strategically. The speakers will also share anonymized case studies of vendors evaluated in 2024.
