CARLI Updates

• There are new license agreements with JSTOR/ITHAKA and Wiley, viewable in the selection system. Wiley's new contract is transformational in nature.
• Looking forward to FY25:
  • Currently working on Bloomsbury and Infobase licenses
  • New title lists and pricing will be worked on in the next month or two
• IP Registry: all libraries should have created/updated an account with the IP Registry (https://theipregistry.org/). This is the exclusive way Oxford University Press will manage institutional IP access, and the change goes into effect on January 17, 2024. Libraries must claim their account to verify the IPs they have on file. CARLI can also see institutional accounts and will receive notifications and can update IPs. So far, Oxford and AMS are the only CARLI vendors exclusively using this tool for IP updates.
• Elizabeth provided an update on the consortial ebook program for FY25
• In partnership with EBSCO, CARLI is hosting a webinar about EBSCO's new UI on Wednesday, January 31, 2024.
