Policy Commons
Please ingest as a CDI "link in record" database the various Policy Commons modules on this page: https://policycommons.net/modules/
We are particularly interested in "Global Think Tanks", but all should be added.
Also note that while I expect this would be a new provider, there is already an idea with a status of "planned" for Africa Commons, from the same provider, Coherent Digital.
Thank you!

Add TGC Books Play Collection
A collection from TGC Books, the largest independent trade publisher of dramatic literature in North America.
The collection includes 18 winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Drama, and also boasts a diverse range of voices which are often overlooked in less contemporary collections.
Our drama students are always looking for newer plays available in a digital format - and with the exception of this collection, the CZ in Alma has most of the collections available from Drama Online. This would be a welcome addition.
Many thanks,
Oliviahttps://www.dramaonlinelibrary.com/tcg-books-play-collection
