The Naure/Scientific American Archive purchase agreement is in progress and will be added into the selection system as a one time purchase when finalized.

Work on the RFP license consolidation continues.

annual project

Revision of the CARLI Electronic Resource Licensing Principles.  The current document is available on the CARLI site: http://www.carli.illinois.edu/products-services/eres/licensing-principles.

As a reminder, thresholds for licensing e-resources are accessible from the E-Resources FAQ at http://www.carli.illinois.edu/products-services/eres/eres-faq, under the question “How are products selected for inclusion in the program?"

For the next meeting, please review the current guidelines and identify areas that need to be updated.

continuing education

The group continued discussing a potential usage statistics forum to be held in the Spring.  Discussion questions were generated and have been posted to the e-resources list to identify areas of interest and potential speakers.  Not much discussion has been generated to date, but there still seems to be an interest in usage statistics topics. 

Stephen will continue to investigate the possibility of holding the forum at UIS and check availability.
