Sharing of E-resource Licensing Information across UC (SILS Phase 4 Deliverable)
Decision summary
Escalate to OT Coordinating at ERES subteam level is problematic:
Solution involves improving communication to groups involving positions that make collection development decisions and leverage license negotiation processes, which is outside of ERES subteam’s scope
ERES has summary, but unable to identify appropriate target audience and communicate this decision status upward to formally recognized stakeholders group in the UC Libraries or CDL Shared Collections
Possible solutions may involve additional discussion and research to identify specific groups and/or goals that would benefit from these solutions
Decision summary:
Centralize focus on facilitating communication around licensing. Replace UCD-hosted listserv and migrate to a centralized, CDL created and managed listserv/slack channel and/or CKG to leverage licensing dialogue, with goal to increase communication around terms negotiations, pricing, wording in licenses, advocacy with licenses (ADA, etc) Moderator to list will include collection development staff and those directly involved in licensing.
Additionally, CDL will work to clarify the policy from a legal perspective for sharing local licenses between campuses and CDL, document compliance workflow. If appropriate, CDL will host website in support of SILS initiative and creation of web content by ERES and CDL Shared Collections.
