The Alliance has reviewed the items in the Ex Libris Idea Exchange and selected the following items that would help the Alliance and other consortia if implemented. We are suggesting that if staff have unallocated votes that they consider voting for these items to help us move the Alliance agenda forward.
If you only have a few votes, please consider the ideas submitted by Alliance members or staff first.
For an idea:
- 3 votes = “Best idea ever! I’ll do everything I can to push it to the top.”
- 2 votes = “Seems like a good idea. I’m willing to put some weight behind this.”
- 1 vote = “This is an OK idea. I’ll support the Alliance on this.”
If you want to know more about the Idea Exchange please see the Ex Libris Idea Exchange FAQ or General Ex Libris Idea Exchange information.
