Executive Committee Meeting

TRLN's Executive Committee, comprised of the four University Librarians and the TRLN Executive Director (ex officio), met at the National Humanities Center on July 11. The committee received updates on TRLN Direct and TRLN Discovery, approved the MOU and charge for a new Shared Print Monographs Working Group, and reviewed the TRLN budget. The committee also planned the agenda for the TRLN Governing Board's upcoming annual meeting, which will take place this fall (date to be determined).

Opposition to MLA Deal with EBSCO

As a member of the International Coalition of Library Consortia (ICOLC), TRLN joins other ICOLC members in opposing the Modern Language Association’s decision to create an exclusive licensing and discovery relationship with EBSCO. A consortial letter of opposition and full list of signatories may be read here.

Amazon Web Services Well-Architected Framework Meetup

On July 13, Brian Beach of Amazon Web Services led a Well-Architected Framework session specifically focused on the TRLN Discovery project. The purpose of the session was to use the five pillars of the "well-architected framework" (operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimization) to review what has been accomplished thus far. The session was attended by TRLN libraries staff members who are involved in the development, operations, management, and systems administration of the TRLN Discovery project, as well as others currently or potentially working with AWS.

More details about the Well-Architected Framework can be found here: https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/
