Details
The Open Negotiation Education for Academic Libraries (ONEAL) project is working to develop curricula and open educational resources to support negotiation education for academic libraries and MLS/MLIS students. With support from IMLS and an initial training cohort underway, ONEAL seeks to increase librarians’ skills in vendor negotiations and effectiveness in better aligning contract terms with libraries’ interests and values. On November 14th at 12pm ET / 9am PT, the next OpenCon Library Community Call will feature leaders from the ONEAL project who will share an overview of the project and its next steps and facilitate a conversation about what kinds of support are most helpful for librarians working to improve in negotiations.
OpenCon Library Community Calls are limited to those working in libraries, and registration is now required. You can register for the November call here.

Recordings
Community Calls are not recorded to support a safer environment for open and honest discussion. However, notes are taken.
What to expect
Community calls are always friendly, and we love new faces. The more you participate, the more you'll get out of it! No doubt there will be a lot of this too.
