Discussions:
- CARLI Website Development –
- Vendor proposal form – in operation
http://www.carli.illinois.edu/mem-prod/e-resources/propose/
- Proposal status page – for discussion and
http://www.carli.illinois.edu/mem-prod/e-resources/propose/view_props.php
Gridlines would make it more readable.
Add Link to PSVC page when the proposal gets to that stage. Change “Offer Complete” to read “Brokered”
It would be nice to see Why an offer was declined; possibly some sort of codes indicating Low Interest, No Funding, etc. or something to that effect. Need more than just dates in the columns.
What if the last 3 columns were combined? Good idea. Staff will combine last 3 columns to display dates and text as to status of proposals.
- Additional web page developments
Beginning to diagram layout of Eresources page and ensuing pages.
How important are listserv changes versus website changes? Do we want 2 different lists, one for Eresources and one for other collection issues?
Suggestion to distinguish between a Vendor submission and a Member submission.
- Proposals received –
- Move status of the 3 current proposals to Staff Review.
- Brokering -
- RFP status - in the final stages. Purchasing has summary justifications for the vendors that were selected. Purchasing will notify the selected vendors during the week of Feb. 12-16, 2007.
- Analysis of impact of database exclusions – what will the Interest Survey look like in the future? More focused on what is going to be offered in the future. Leave ERWG Report criteria as a staff function for the time until we get more feedback from staff on implications of enforcing the criteria discussed in the report.
- Spring brokering cycle – will run as usual from mid-March through April
- New Business –
- Development of licensing principles – this task to be engaged in the coming months
- Development of the Pooled Funding Initiative – how funds could be generated to use for resources that cannot be brokered effectively.
- Central funding - currently on the agenda of the Finance Committee
- Models for member contributions – in the process of defining available options
- Potential targets of interest to use funding – list to be generated by ERWG, possible wish-list of products. Could use brief SurveyMonkey (2-3 questions) to send out to the CCG list for responses about interest in backfiles, archives, etc. to be considered for one-time purchase.
