Announcements   

• August 29, 2025 is the deadline to suggest Table Talk Topics for CARLI Annual Member Meeting. E-mail Ted, Marisa, or Yanira with suggestions.

Discussion

• Operation Fiddle Faddle (OFF) – Marisa and Ted provided updates on the EBSCO Network Zone collections. With unique linking parameters for each institution in each collection, these NZ collections have become unmanageable for CARLI staff. These collections will be deleted by June 2026. Libraries have 3 options:
  1. activate collections on your own without assistance from CARLI;
  2. ask for CARLI staff to do this on your behalf;
  3. CARLI can provide support while you figure it out.
