Collection Development policy update

Policy was reviewed with LRS -- one sentence change to define that it applies to info resources, not equipment
Next steps: Brian S will share with Steven Bell, then it will be taken for Executive approval

Elsevier update

Waiting for an updated Elsevier offer - expected late October
There's a Health Sciences advisory meeting Nov 8, Barb would like Brian or Joe to present as a preparation for upcoming cuts

Purchase on demand pilot being tested by Emily and developers

Marc records for ebooks unavailable via DDA model would be loaded into Library Search.
Titles would have a “purchase on demand” facet and lead to a request form in Blacklight--usually 24-48 hour turnaround for firm order

In Ebook Central, we will turn on short term loans

We pay 15-20% for first two views, downloads...on third use, we would buy
We’d be spending more on purchased titles but on many titles that get low use we would save money
Karen is developing a way to track items removed from DDA

We are considering an EBA model for Taylor & Francis e-books

We would give them set dollar amount up front and they would open up 2018-2019 releases as ebooks
We'd need to include some selector feedback on title selection without making it cumbersome

HathiTrust updates

MOU - legal document that we will retain for 25 years
Up to five libraries will retain a title, hopefully not too many additional requests from libraries for new retention commitments
Brian reports that Holly is investigating adding MARC info for long-term retention titles
Slight concern that we may be asked to retain higher number than originally expected
