Meeting with IR vendors can be almost as daunting as setting up a first date. What questions should you ask? If you hit it off, should you commit right away? This lightning talk will offer advice on how to navigate vendor meetings when starting to look for an IR. This talk will include what to consider when "dating" around to find your perfect IR match, such as how an IR vendor aligns with your institutional goals. This presentation is based on the experiences of the Excelsior University librarians, who were tasked with starting the university's IR from scratch in 2023.
