CSST Meeting Notes 3/28/18

Reviewing scope document

  • Three areas: Collections Building, Collections Stewardship, Collections Discovery & Access
  • Added -- disaster planning, under Collections Stewardship
  • Strike -- marketing, outreach (this is in scope for Communications & Outreach SST)
  • For some of the major items in this document, there could always be sub-groups spun off this group (or that already exist)… e.g. Digital Preservation

What are people’s biggest priorities from this list?

  • Cost, journal package deals cutting into rest of collections budget
  • Cooperative collecting, weeding, space management
  • Cooperative collecting, demand-driven acq, selectors’ workflow
  • Having a coll dev policy -- valuable as a document to refer back to for many things
  • Coll dev policy -- because it drives the other issues somewhat
  • Cooperative collecting -- shared print, looming budget issues
  • Budget issues, working with selectors and the Communications SST to advise on communicating about collections with faculty

Drafting charge

  • Karen and Olivia will draft something and send to the group by 4/9/18
  • We will convene again on 4/11/18
