Greetings! I trust your summer is going well. Maybe you have had a chance to work on those ubiquitous summer projects. But I hope you have also had (or will have) a chance to renew and recharge before the busyness of a new school year begins. 

We want to welcome David Purdy as our newest CLC team member-at-large! David is the University Librarian at Crandall University in New Brunswick. He will be working with Scott in reaching out to and negotiating with new vendor partners as we continue to explore new discount opportunities.

Speaking of which, please take a look at the vendors/products listed below. If any of these are of specific interest to you, we would request that you just send a quick email to clc@acl.org letting us know.  As we plan and talk to vendors, it will be helpful to know the areas of greatest interest to you. Proquest has already asked us about member interest.   

• Accordance Bible Software
• ACRL Benchmark
• AM Digital
• Docuseek
• Grammarly
• Loeb Digital Library (through Harvard UP)
• Proquest (Religion Database & Dissertations & Theses Global)
• Ubiquity

You may always submit other suggestions to us via the Suggestion Form.

We have just received updated CLC discount pricing for ThirdIron’s LibKey product. Libraries at all FTE levels receive a minimum of 20% off list price, with a greater discount for our smallest members. For more information about LibKey, click here: https://thirdiron.com/#products. To find out your library’s exact discount price, or to start or renew a subscription using the CLC discount, contact Ted Tyson at: ted@thirdiron.com. You can also view these details on the website.

The enrollment and renewal period is NOW open through September 11.

Theological Research Exchange Network (TREN) provides access to over 25,000 theological thesis/dissertation titles.

Deadline for participation is September 11.

Did you know that CLC members get a 10% discount on a subscription to Galaxie’s Theological Journal Library (TJL)? The deadline to participate in this year’s offer is September 11. Please fill out the order form. Current TJL subscribers can transition to the ACL/CLC billing cycle to take advantage of the cost savings. Please contact Hampton Keathley and fill out the order form as soon as possible if you are interested in making this switch.
