ERC ST 060517Electronic Resources Steering Team May 17, 2006: 10:30-11:15am Teleconference Minutes Members attending by phone: Tim Jewell, Chair; Greg Doyle, Alliance staff; Diane Carroll, OHSU; Heather Whipple, Reed; Emily Miller-Francisco, SOU, Susan Hinken, UP; Joanna Haney, L&C
Members not present: Carrie Fry, SPU 1. Minutes of April 21 annual Electronic Resources Committee meeting. Tim asked about any notes from Greg’s presentation of E-journal packages. Greg will provide a summary. (Joanna actually took notes during this section of the annual meeting, and had sent an email on 5/1/06 with minutes attached). Action: Tim will look at all the minutes taken during the meeting and put them all together in one document. Greg will ask Susie Scroggins to supply a list of all the members who attended. Tim asked for feedback about what worked or didn’t, and what we might want to include or remember to change next time. There was general satisfaction with how the meeting went, and agreement that members seemed to actively participate. Suggestion for next year and for Fall joint meeting: include an evaluation form. Greg commented that we have probably exhausted the topic of E-books, for the time being at least. E-book purchasing decisions seems to be an issue that is dealt with very differently at each library.
2. Next meeting We’ll have our last teleconference call with the current members of the Steering Team on June 21st at the usual time. Tim and Emily will not be attending. Joanna will chair, and will invite the new members of the team to attend. We’ll decide at that meeting whether we need to set a new meeting date/time.
3. Fall joint meeting of ERC and CDMC Tim asked about the agenda for the Fall joint meeting. Joanna reported on a couple topics the planning group had put forth during their first conference call. These included Portico, LOCKSS, e-archiving, and assessment. Topics recommended for the group to consider are institutional repositories; decisions about print or electronic archiving; and dark and light archives. Joanna will take these to the planning team. 4. Meeting with Elsevier representatives Diane reported on a very satisfactory meeting she had recently with three Elsevier representatives, including Frank Peters (sp?) from the Netherlands. She was able to talk about all the problems and concerns OHSU has been experiencing about their contract with Elsevier, and felt that finally someone with authority would try to resolve them.
