Background
The purpose of this document is to provide an overarching framework for the CSU and its member libraries as they engage in both individual and consortia collection development decision-making. While each member library tailors its own collection development and access strategies to best meet local institutional needs, the document complements local policies and practices based on the recognition of the value of the CSU shared collections and work.

Selection and Acquisitions
Electronic Core Collection (ECC)
The SRDC committee is responsible for the review, evaluation, and recommendation of the content to be included in the ECC.
The recommendation, once approved by COLD, is then negotiated, acquired, and paid for by SDLC on behalf of all 23 campuses.
SDLC notifies the Electronic Resources Manager of new ECC e-resource acquisitions or cancellations.
The Electronic Resources Manager activates/deactivates the corresponding e-resource collection in the Alma NZ for campuses.
Note: ECC e-resources are regularly reviewed by the SRDC Collection Analytics committee committee to assist SRDC, SDLC, and COLD in its decision-making.
...
Selection of new Opt-in e-resources for SDLC consideration may be initiated by SRDC Members through the ECC/Opt-In Vendor Liaisons (EVL) committee using their SDLC E-Resource Recommendation for EVL Form. Please consult with your the SRDC Member for your campus if there is a resource you would like to put forward as a new opt-in!
SDLC starts the renewal process with vendors at least 3 months before a contract/license expires. This process involves negotiating pricing, content, license terms, etc. with the vendors.
Once available, pricing and subscription information is sent out to the campuses via Consortia Manager.
Campuses interested in acquiring or renewing the e-resource will confirm their orders with SDLC via Consortia Manager. Campuses are usually given 2-3 weeks to confirm their orders.
SDLC notifies the Electronic Resources Manager of new Opt-in e-resource acquisitions or cancellations.
The Electronic Resources Manager activates/deactivates the corresponding e-resource collection in the Alma NZ for relevant campuses.
The Chancellor’s Office IFTs bills (via IFT) the campuses for their portion of the Opt-in eResource e-resource costs.
