<p class="MsoNormal">Hello OhioDIGers!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The planning group has been working on ways to make the most of our 3 in-person and 3 virtual meetings with choosing topics that lend themselves to those different formats.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please save the date for the <b>July 16 in-person meeting at the State Library of Ohio</b>, when we’ll focus on discussing experiences and information about
<b>vendors</b>, in “<b>Talking ‘bout Vendors</b>.” <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In our work with digitization and digital preservation, most of us use vendors for various parts of the process—ranging from purchasing equipment, outsourcing the capture and metadata/OCR/transcription, cloud storage platforms, to discovery
platforms, and more.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For this meeting we are<b> seeking folks for lightning talks</b> about a vendor experience, then we will
<b>break into small discussion groups</b> focused on different types of vendor products.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#202124;background:white">Proposal Deadline: Monday, July 1, 2024 at midnight</span></b><span style="color:#202124;background:white"> (but sooner is appreciated!). Please fill out this simple Google Form with your
lightning talk idea: <a href="https://forms.gle/V6KpXstrjsbrj2vGA">https://forms.gle/V6KpXstrjsbrj2vGA</a><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#202124;background:white">In this in-person setting we will not be recording, potentially allowing for frank discussion of good and not-so-good experiences, as well as lessons learned, tips, and tricks. For example, when
we had a program on purchasing book scanners some years back, I learned that the price is not THE price—negotiation can come into play! And, what companies stood behind their service agreements like a champ--and who fell short.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
