E-Resources Working Group Agenda
December 1, 2007
1:30 – 3:00 PM
Telephone number – 217-265-699
- Review of current proposals. For another view of this data please see the attached spreadsheet entitled ‘Proposal Status Review 11-16-07’, which is explained below.
- Old business
- Licensing Principles – discussion of the draft document (attached). Our plan is to finalize these on the call, then send them out to the collection listserv for comments before they go to the Board for their January meeting.
- E-resource web pages – we are working on revisions to the following pages:
Proposal status page – with the many resources in various stages of consideration this page has become cumbersome so we are proposing to create a list of statuses and to modify the display to group proposals be status. A mock-up of the page entitled Proposal Status Review 11-16-07’ is attached for your review.
E-resources contracts –Since our last call this page has been divided into two sections, one for acquisitions and one for subscriptions and can be seen at http://www.carli.illinois.edu/mem-prod/e-resources/contracts2.html . This change was made because the pertinent information is different for each type of agreement. In the next iteration, the list of subscriptions will be changed to list by product rather than vendor because this is how we expect users will search for information. A mock-up of this is attached (database list organized by product). This will also include an option to show products by vendor, using pop-ups or links to a complete list of products.
More information on these improvements will be forthcoming and please pass along any suggestions for additional changes or enhancements.
- Licensing training – I have contacted the person who would provide the training to ask about content but have not heard from her yet. I will keep trying.
- One-time purchase ideas – our plan here is to begin to create a list of the resources of highest interest and identify questions or information that is needed. On the January call we will select 3-4 for serious consideration. We will ask for volunteers to create an analysis of each of the products for group review in February. We will plan to send a report to Board for review at their March meeting. I have attached the list of possibilities again for our discussion.
- New business
- January conference call – due to ALA commitments we need to move this to another day. Would be the 21st at the same time work for everyone?
- February conference call – this is currently scheduled for 2/11. As we will be working on the report to the Board regarding one-time purchase ideas we would like to suggest another in-person meeting.
