WiLS has been in talks with a potential new vendor partner: RedLink. RedLink provides a new and innovative approach to accessing and interpreting your library’s electronic resource usage data.

We think RedLink Library Dashboard may be the solution. Read more

As you may know, the NIH has recently discontinued support for Link-Out. Libraries using that service to go from citation to full text will need a new option.

If you’re attending the ALA Midwinter conference this month, keep an eye out for new or innovative library products that WiLS should know about. We’re always on the lookout for what’s new in the library world for possible inclusion in our cooperative purchasing service. But no one from WiLS will be at this year’s conference. So, we’re looking to you to share anything cool or innovative you see from the vendors there. Sharing with us will enter you into a drawing for a $10.00 Visa gift card!
Entering couldn’t be easier. If you learn about a new database, eBook platform, streaming service or anything that you think WiLS should know about, snap a picture of it! Then, send the photo to and you’ll be entered into the drawing. Later in November, we’ll select a winner from all of the entries.
Not only do you stand to win $10.00, but you’ll be helping to boost the signal on something new and exciting for WiLS members. It might even lead to a new consortium purchase!
