 Participants

Present: Stacy Magedanz, Chris Bulock, David Gibbs, Ashley Wilson, George Wrenn, Holly Yu, Ann Roll, Lisa Tran

Discussion topics

  • David asked about options for approving ACS OA requests centrally. Technically, the option does exist; CDL handles it this way. However, the option was not implemented for the whole CSU system. SCELC’s setup is fully automated, no one looks at requests to approve them. You can choose to automate approvals for your campus.

  • Intro from Ann Roll, new director of SDLC. Stacy and Ann met about a month ago to review COLIN issues, including:

    • Visibility of contract information (Alma, Consortia Manager), which should be resolved by the end of this fiscal year. Contracts have largely been generic and automatically renewed year to year, so our exploration of model language for future contracts would be helpful.

    • VPAT review processes: This discussion has been kicked up to higher levels that the library, i.e. to Academic Technology. Issues surrounding this topic will take time to work out within the Academic Technology unit.

    • Transformative agreements, processes: Those are being worked out collaboratively with a variety of groups, including the California Collections Group, COLD, CDL, and SCELC.

  • ECC Critera Draft document: The draft has a section specifically about “Contract Negotiation, Licensing, and Pricing Policies,” but several of the bullet points under “Secondary Criteria” could reasonably be considered contractual, and should perhaps be reviewed and updated. Although the draft was circulated last week, it is not on the SRDC meeting agenda, and the group would like to see it discussed futher.
