February 22, 2005, 1:30- 3:00 p.m., McKeldin 7113
Present: M. Burright, B. Day, Z. Diaz, K. Hahn, J. Miller, H. Pedersoli, T. Johnson, J. Siar, S. Van Sant
Roles: Facilitator: Zaida; Notetaker: B. Schuster
1. Topic: Agenda review
Outcome: No changes
2. Topic: UM general Collections Long term preservation priorities (revisited)
Guest: Desider
Continued discussion of the issues created by what appears to be an emerging preservation paradigm shift for UM general collections and the challenges it creates for identifying collections of enduring value. See also CMT minutes from January 25th.
Outcome: Collaboratives should discuss what "enduring value" means for their disciplines and consider criteria for determining items of enduring physical and/or intellectual value. CMT will revisit this issue at its April 26th meeting to come to some conclusion of how to identify those parts of the collection that appear to have enduring value for campus collections either in terms of the works currently held or in terms of the content of works currently owned.
3. Topic: Review of Big Ticket Candidates - Arts and Humanities
Outcome: Information sharing. Descriptions of candidate purchases are available at Big Ticket List 2005 -- Arts & Humanities Collaborative. Discussion of the Ar-Hu proposals will continue next week.
The tentative schedule for the remainder of Big Ticket Candidate Review is as follows:
- 3/1 Government Documents items
- 3/15 IRST items
4. Topic: Announcements
- Discussion of systematic downloading of electronic journals. Karla noted that for CMT, the issue is that the usage statistics for titles affected by this activity will be distorted. E-content support manages relations with vendors, notifications of OIT, etc.
- Betty asked that collaboratives look at the unique title analyses and usage statistics for Wilson databases and Readers Guide with the possible cancellation of of some of these resources in mind. Funds saved could be used to fund big ticket purchase. This item will be on the CMT agenda on March 8th.
