We encourage your participation in the upcoming NERS Enhancement Voting for Content, a crucial process where the IGeLU and ELUNA communities’ voice and vote will significantly influence which new Content Providers Ex Libris will attempt to add in 2024. We have more than 90 Content requests to consider for this cycle.
Voting Period (November 15-December 4th)
The voting window opens on November 15th and will close on December 4th. This period provides ample time for you to review the options and make informed decisions that will shape our collective future.
New Providers
In this voting round, we are prioritizing new content providers for Ex Libris. Ballot items were primarily chosen from Idea Exchange submissions from 2020 – present requesting entirely new providers. Ten winning providers and ten runner-up providers will be delivered to Ex Libris.
Prioritization of French and Lithuanian Language Resources
This voting cycle, we are giving special attention to the enhancement of French and Lithuanian language resources. Recognizing the growing need and demand for diverse language collections, we aim to enrich our offerings in these areas. Your votes will play a pivotal role in ensuring that these language resources receive the focus they deserve, enhancing accessibility and inclusivity within our libraries.
At least 1 new French and 1 new Lithuanian provider will be included in the top ten list provided to Ex Libris, with at least 1 of each also included in the runners-up list.
