AGENDA
1. Elsevier Decision --K.Frohmberg, B.Weil
Katie and Beth explained the proposed agreement Elsevier has provisionally
reached with the CDL and the Library to provide the current three years of
journals on the list (distributed). The agreement is contingent upon journals
being current, complete, and of consistent quality. The CDL will pay for the
electronic resources. The Library will pay the same amount we are currently
paying for print. Beth noted that CAG unanimously endorsed the agreement.
Cabinet agreed to adopt and accept the agreement. Katie will notify the CDL of
The Library's decision.
2. Budget Submission: Final First Draft --J.Lowell
Cabinet agreed to send a draft of the budget submission to Roundtable for
consideration at its March 12 meeting. Jerry will discuss the draft in depth at
the Roundtable meeting. A final draft will also be sent to Cabinet for
consideration at its February 25 meeting. Members of Cabinet were requested to
read the draft and prepare comment prior to the next Cabinet meeting.
3. Salary Savings Management: Impact on LHRD --J.Lowell
Cabinet discussed the creation of a librarywide review and approval process for
vacant staff positions before they are filled. Members of the group pointed out
that the review process would be an excellent informational tool to keep
Cabinet abreast of staffing issues throughout The Library.
Cabinet agreed to take discussion of the issue of salary savings management to
Roundtable.
4. Digital Library Planning --B.Hurley
Cabinet agreed that the creation of a Library vision should commence as soon as
possible. The visioning process needs to occur before a planning process for
the Digital Library can go forward. However, it was agreed the fact-finding
step in the planning process for the Digital Library should commence, and a
Digital Library Planning Steering Committee, composed of members from the
Library and the Senate Library Committee, should be appointed. Members of the
Digital Library Planning Steering Committee were nominated. J.Lowell will
invite nominees to participate and announce composition to all staff.
