Announcements:

  • There is an RFP moving forward for the centralized purchase of aggregated databases. The Board of Trustees meets on March 26 to discuss the July 1 (FY10) renewal.

  • The FY2009 book digitization initiative has a new form to request shipping labels. Several items have already been digitized. The timeline has been pushed back a month. You can review the digital objects at www.archive.org. You can do an advance search by the contributor (e.g., Chicago State, Newberry, etc.). CARLI will be publicizing the program and some of the completed projects.
  • ILA is looking for programs from academic libraries.
  • We will need to make a proposal to the board to continue the Book Digitization Initiative for a third year by June.
  • The CARLI eBook Symposium is March 4th. The registration is now at 72. This will be held at the Hawthorn Suites in Champaign.
  • In order to schedule and plan training and programs for 2009-2010, keep in mind the Program Planning Committee needs to receive proposals six months in advance. The group discussed a fall meeting followed-up by subject based webinars. We will be certain past registrants are notified of the new format. The fall meeting was suggested for early and late September on a Friday.
  • The University of Illinois Library has released that the book vendor selected through their RFP process is YBP Library Services. The U of I is working on the process of releasing information from the selected vendor. CARLI will be making the announcements as the pricing will be extended to CARLI members.
  • Fifteen to twenty-five institutions expressed interest in The Center for Research Libraries membership. For more information, attend their quarterly webinar. CRL is now a stop on the delivery system. Delivery is preferred by electronic means, second choice is shipping. CARLI will subsidize 50% up to $2,000 for 2 years (minimum fee is $1,200/yr.) of the CRL membership fees.
  • CARLI is working on an electronic form if someone wants to offer their last copy of an item in the state. Programmers are working to automate the process to offer the item first to the U of I then to another research library.
  • I-Share Analysis Project will be held on June 10th. There are 100 slots open with lunch provided. This will be held at the I-Hotel in Champaign.
  • March 20th is the copyright workshop in Chicago.
