E-Resources Working Group Conference Call
September 11, 2006
Meeting Minutes
Members calling in: Kim Armstrong (University of Illinois at Springfield), Dawn Lynn (Loyola University), Raeann Dossett (Parkland College), Jeff Matlak (Western Illinois University), Wendy Shelburne (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Laurie Sauer (Knox College)
Staff calling in: Tom Dorst, David Hamilton, Elizabeth Clarage
Members absent: Kathryn Miller (National Louis University)
Decisions:
- Minutes not available for approval at time of conference call.
- Committee Vacancy - Jim Mouw resigned and Jeff Matlak from WIU has filled the vacancy. Jeff is the Electronic Resources librarian.
- Pending offers – (attachment)
Staff will submit all pending offers to ERWG. ERWG will then look at offers and make decisions based on certain criteria. ERWG picks items good to be subsidized. Gauge interest in other offers. ERWG should be a filtering process. Part of ERWG role is to guide staff in how much time to put toward a particular resource or offer. Possibly list all offers that have been sent to ERWG in case someone misses a message from the listserv.
Harpweek – There is interest. Price is in hand and it is a one-time purchase.
Dawn – it would be nice to have the missing years (final module) of Harpweek.
Black Studies Center – Continue to negotiate with Proquest. Get a more fully developed proposal.
GeoScience World – WIU already a customer. Would other CARLI members have to join Amigos? Might be able to either pay dues and go through MLNC or Amigos may let consortium join. Should the staff pursue GeoScience World? Dawn – it should be possible to look at CARLI member list and figure out how many schools have Geology programs that would be potential subscribers.
Wendy – Isn’t it possible that tiered offers can come out of CARLI? Yes.
Westlaw Campus – shelve until next meeting
Discussions:
Dawn – surprised that the list of pending offers is as short as it is. Tom provided clarification on how certain titles get added to the brokering list.
Dawn – some get calls from vendors (i.e. Wylie) saying that there are CARLI proposals in the works. Is there a uniform way that vendors contact CARLI with proposals? Not currently. We are in the process of creating a web form for vendor offer submissions.
Kim – It would be helpful to see everything that vendors either submit or contact CARLI about. Pending offer summary will contain all of these.
Jeff – Is anyone at CARLI responsible for seeking out new products or offers? No. Not unless there is reason to do so based upon interest. CARLI certainly has the ability to do so.
Jeff – If we (schools) get offers should we be forwarding these proposals to CARLI? I think it is appropriate for a committee member to contact CARLI regarding possible consortial proposals. This intention is not that vendors use schools as a vehicle to get to CARLI.
Jeff – CARLI uses survey, is there a way to disseminate a proposal or product information to other CARLI members?
