1. Announcements
° SCOAP3
Berkeley and CDL will co-host a meeting on SCOAP3 on Feb 29 (Sibley Auditorium) 9am – 4pm. This forum will provide attendees the opportunity to hear about and explore the SCOAP3 model for funding open access publications. For more information, see http://scoap3.org/focalmeeting.html
° Berkeley Research Impact Initiative
BRII has been moving towards launch: The Academic Senate Committee on Libraries has help draft the announcement; Fleur Helsingor is putting up a website using materials developed by SCAG (Beth Weil, Suzanne Calpestri, Margaret Phillips, Gail Ford, Chuck Eckman).The program will be announced officially to the campus on January 21;
° Collections Early Bird
A collections early bird has been scheduled for January 25. Topics will include the annual budget; BRII and the SCOAP3 forum.
° M-fund allocations
Chuck has reviewed selector requests, taken into account CC’s comments and decided on “permanent temporary” increases for this year’s m-funds. These amounts will be further supplemented by one-time devaluation adjustments, and for many, funding for major-purchase requests. Jim Gordon will post the changes to Innopac in early January and they will be reviewed at the Early Bird on January 25, along with devaluation and one-time allocations. Chuck thanked everyone for the very “enlightening process” this year that will surely feed a more streamlined and efficient process in 2008.
° JSC workplan JSC’s workplan has been reviewed by CDC and approved. Ivy Anderson will distribute the plan through normal CDL channels shortly.
° There will be a consortial “title swap” of Elsevier and Blackwell titles – details on how the new process will work haven’t yet been finalized by CDC. Beth Weil, Mary Ann Mahoney and Jim Ronningen will be organizing Berkeley’s process and response. Initial nominations of titles may be due for submission as early as January 9. Stay tuned.
° SCAP-funded titles
SCAP funds used to be used for one-time major purchases UC-wide. Several years ago it was redirected to help pay for consortial electronic databases, etc. SCAP is now running in deficit. Ivy Anderson will be leading review of titles funded by SCAP.
° Collections Integrity Task Force
The implementation report was delivered to Beth Dupuis and Chuck. The work is “very solid”. The report will be discussed in ADMIN, and will probably appear on a CC agenda in January or February.
2. One-Time Purchase Proposals
Chuck has reviewed selector requests, considering CC comments, selector priorities, and selector co-pays. He has made decisions on some of the requests, and needs more information on others. In some cases he will be contacting selectors to strategize on how the title might be secured as a CRL purchase, or through a Stanford-Berkeley cooperative arrangement. He will begin sending out emails to individual selectors letting them know the status of their one-time major purchase requests.
3. DILIB Fund Review (Margaret facilitates)
Margaret will be leading a group to review titles now paid from Dilib, to see if they are still good values for the dollar. Resources paid for by multiple selector co-pays will not be part of the initial review. The goal is to consider what titles we might cut to save money. A second goal is to consider what process might be put in place so that a special annual review would not be needed. The review process will include analysis of usage statistics and a public comment period. CC agreed that Margaret should work with a group of selectors, and that volunteers should be solicited from the subject council structure. Chuck will work with Margaret on the charge and issue a call for volunteers.
4. New Directions (members of CC, EBAG, SCAG and DAG)
The group had a lively discussion about present infrastructure and new directions. Chuck will be blogging the highlights. He encouraged other participants to blog as well. CC felt that “Collections” should be a more obvious element in the New Directions Framework.
