CARLI Updates

Welcome to Nicole-Ream Sotomayor, CARLI’s new Senior Electronic Resources Coordinator!

The Calendar Year 2020 CARLI Selection Period is now open; there have been some minor technical issues with the system this cycle (duplicate products listed for some CARLI members).  Developers are aware and will be fixing this. 

Sage E-Reference annual access fee will be a calendar year selection now and moving forward.  This had been added to the FY20 selection cycle.  Jenny will send an email reminder about selecting this during the calendar year cycle. 

Sage Premier has moved to purchasing and may be added to selection during the Calendar Year 2020 cycle.

CARLI office continues to broker a broad Sage license (CQ Researcher, Sage Video, etc.)  Sage has agreed to multi-year caps, but they have not yet disclosed what the caps will be.
