Draft Minutes

In attendance: Cindy Clennon, David Hamilton, Jeanette Pierce, Wendy Shelburne, Sarah Wessel, Laurie Sauer, Chris Sweet, Sara Thorburn, Gwen Harrison, Linda Carlisle

1. Announcements
   Brief discussion of Wilson Select Plus Offer. Cindy has received a press release that as of September 4th the Library System offer was at 41% of goal. Cindy does have data on the highest use CARLI schools and she will be contacting some of those schools.
2. Review of new and current proposals
   (http://www.carli.illinois.edu/mem-prod/e-resources/propose/office.php)
   New proposals – no new proposals this month.
   
   Continuing proposals –
   Greenwood American Mosiac: CARLI has sent questions to Greenwood rep regarding whether or not this would be a sole source.  Plan is to get this into fall brokering, but processed via MLNC.
   Greenwood Pop Culture Universe: Also targeted for fall brokering under MLNC pricing. 
   Springer eBooks: CARLI contacted the Springer rep and asked some questions. I) is there a link from Google books to springer ebooks? Right now this works in several ways and depending on where the user starts on Google they can end up either at sprinkerlink.com (the book) or springer.com (information about the book). They do not have plans to upgrade their free records and are sending users to OCLC for “upgraded” records. CARLI will contact Springer for a proposal that can be sent out later this month.
   Palgrave Dictionary of Economics – nothing new
   Oxford Scholarship Online – question from last month regarding pricing model. Carli will investigate further.
   SimplyMap – Please look at trial before Monday.  There’s a trial that the group has been requested to look at it and send feedback.  Consensus is to remove this from the consortial list, as this doesn’t appear to be a good CARLI fit.
   Wilson Select – See above
   PerAbs – CARLI has surveyed the membership to measure interest. Response so far has not been very high.  There is some pricing from Proquest for Research Library.  More to come on this.
3. Old business
   
   Licensing conference – Cindy sent a save the date’ message to the ccg and e-resource contacts list serves. 
   There’s no news on this. Registration needs to open by late September.
   E-Book Vendors – I’m not certain we finalized the list of vendors that we would like the E-Book program committee to invite to speak with us at the E-Book Conference in Febrary 2008.  In our July meeting we discussed EBL (Blackwell), Ebrary, Oxford Scholarship, and MyiLibrary (Ingram).  It looks like we are focusing on the scholarly monograph this time.  Are there others that we definitely would like to see?  Springer will be definitely be there as part of the keynote program.
   Do we need to add anyone to this list? We seem to be more focused on scholarly monographs instead of reference materials? Sage might be included as a provider of Reference materials, or if they have scholarly materials?  This will be set up again as previously with a single vendor providing information separately to the group. Looks like there will be ample time to have 5 providers do this part of the program. There is interest in having demonstrations at this meeting as opposed to last time when demos were not allowed.  Demonstration time (e.g. exhibits) will be available the day before as part of the open session.  There will also be a panel the day before that will allow discussion of pricing models.
   E-resource wish lists – a compilation of the results received so far is attached.
   There is a common thread regarding need for journal backfiles.  Can this group prioritize backfiles for purchase?  Royal Society of Chemistry has backfiles, American Chemical Society, Springer, Jstor, Annual Reviews backfiles, Oxford, if they offer? Web of Science? Chicago Tribune might be under discussion once again. 
   Is chemistry a subject that would be widely embraced in CARLI libraries. Seems that many CARLI schools might not need this content as much as others depending on what level of research is required of students at any given school.
   From discussion: Group will target: ACS, Oxford, JSTOR
   Web of Science: Are backfiles of interest to this group? What about current license?  CARLI will follow up with WoS regarding CARLI consortial offers.
   Archival Databases: Sabin, Chicago Tribune, LexisNexis Congressional Hearings, Readex Serials Set, Readex Early American Imprints.  Discussion of this tier of products needs to continue…
4. New business
   
   E-Book Survey – Can we create a member survey that would inform us about how CARLI members are currently utilizing e-books and if there is a particular role that CARLI needs to provide in regards to E-books?
   
   Would someone on the group be willing to work with Jeanette and Cindy to do another ebook survey?  Would want to have this survey out and completed before the next ebook vendor forum.  Laurie volunteered to assist.

Next conference call:
October 13, 2008
1:30 – 3:00
