The Clarivate-ProQuest Wake-Up Call
by Marydee Ojala
At 6:30 a.m. EDT on May 17, 2021, the email arrived with the announcement that the public company Clarivate intended to acquire ProQuest from the privately held, family-owned Cambridge Information Group and minority owner Atairos. ...

by Dave Shumaker
As winter turns to spring turns to summer, hope has been rising that the COVID-19 pandemic will subside before many more months have passed. Everyone is beginning to imagine—and plan for—the post-pandemic future. What will it be like? When it comes to library services, it's hard to think that we'll simply return to prepandemic business as usual. Instead of a return to the old normal, or even a new normal, we may experience "the next normal."
