#1 . . . NELLCO and MALLCO signed an e-resource agreement?
In April, NELLCO and MALLCO signed a 2-year agreement under which NELLCO will serve as the e-resource licensing service provider for MALLCO's 27 member libraries. Under this agreement, MALLCO members will be entitled to participate in any e-resource deal negotiated by NELLCO, and NELLCO is authorized to negotiate on behalf of MALLCO's members. NELLCO will now represent almost 150 law libraries, enhancing the leverage we can bring to the table. We're excited to enter into this partnership and look forward to serving the MALLCO membership! This agreement is one concrete result of the work being done by LIPA, MALLCO and NELLCO to enhance and strengthen our collaborative efforts. Do you have any ideas to share for ways we might cooperate? We'd love to hear from you!

#2 . . . The Hague has issued a Declaration on Knowledge Discovery in the Digital Age?
"The Hague Declaration aims to foster agreement about how to best enable access to facts, data and ideas for knowledge discovery in the Digital Age. By removing barriers to accessing and analysing the wealth of data produced by society, we can find answers to great challenges such as climate change, depleting natural resources and globalization."
WHAT CAN I DO?
ADVOCACY
17. Bodies such as universities, research organisations, library associations, the medical community, businesses, and members of the content mining community should advocate the benefits of content mining.
18. Research libraries are well placed to take on this advocacy role as part of their activities in research support.
19. Libraries should provide training for researchers on content mining literacy, including legal advice.
You can read and sign the declaration!
