CARLI Updates

  • Calendar Year 2023 Cycle:
    • Selection System opened Tuesday, Oct. 11 for CY23 selections
    • CARLI continues to work on licenses with MIT Press and AAAS
  • Registration support for the OEN Certificate in OER Librarianship - CARLI will let applicants know within 7 days if they can support registration. Deadline in Nov. 4, 2022. More info is available in the September newsletter.
  • Elizabeth provided an update on the consortial ebook program. CARLI purchased 2,321 OUP and Wiley titles, and CARLI members purchased 150 titles from the FY22 access collection for perpetual consortial access. Directors have been supportive of the ebook program. For FY24, the program will be added to the Selection System as an "alternative cycle." A price will be listed in the system, but libraries will be able to support the program with any amount. Contracts with both OUP and Wiley end June 30, 2023.
  • Upcoming training events and webinars can be found on CARLI's event calendar
  • E-resources brokering survey
    • A new e-resources brokering survey has been drafted and CARLI staff asked for suggestions. Jenny will add Naxos & PolicyMap to the list for voting. The ebook program will be a separate section in tihs survey. IET ebooks were suggested. The survey will also gauge member interest in OA agreements. Group members agreed that mid-November (after the selection system closes) would be a good time to send out the survey.
  • CARLI annual meeting is November 4 in Champaign. Registration is available on CARLI's website.
