Jason S. Price is Director of License & Open Access Services at the SCELC Library Consortium. He earned a doctorate in evolutionary ecology and Masters in Library Science from Indiana University, gaining in depth experience as a researcher and teacher. During his 10 years as a librarian at The Claremont Colleges, he managed electronic resources, information technology, collections and acquisitions, and the library as a whole (though not all at once!). At SCELC, he thoroughly enjoys applying his data analysis and negotiation skills to current library challenges: working with librarians, content and software providers, and other consortia to expand resource discovery and open access.
