What is a Lightning Round? It is a quick and easy way for members to learn about eResource products available through MCLS. Attendees hear from five vendors who are allotted 15 minutes each to present the best of their products plus updates and information. In 2024 MCLS will host four Lightning Round vendor events on Zoom, each focused on a different library type!

Registration is now open for our first quarter Vendor Lightning Round for public library members scheduled for Wednesday, March 13 from 10:30-11:30 a.m. Eastern (9:30-10:30 a.m. Central). We will host Data Axle, EBSCO, Mango Languages, Morningstar, and ProQuest. You’ll learn about some new products and updates and enhancements to established products these vendors offer. After registering, you will receive Zoom access information.

Additional Vendor Lightning Rounds take place second quarter for school library members, third quarter for medical library members, and fourth quarter for academic library members. Be sure to watch future newsletters for date announcements.
