Several MCLS journal agreements end on Dec. 31, 2026, so we are working to negotiate new multi-year agreements. We invite you to join us for virtual meetings with the publishers who will present information about the journal packages and subscription models, which will begin in Jan. 2027. Each meeting will be recorded and includes time for questions and discussion.
