Legend: NOT STARTED IN PROGRESS STALLED DECIDED
Recommendation
The e-resources subteam recommended adding an ERES slack channel to the new SILS Community Channel, which was created on May 18, 2023. At the time that this issue was initially raised, no Community Slack channel to discuss e-resources existed.
A channel description was added to the Slack channel on 10/31/23 to encourage discussion of topics in these areas.
At the 11/9/23 meeting, ERES agreed to change the status of this Work Plan to DECIDED, since the newly created Slack channel and biweekly ERES troubleshooting meetings fulfill the goal of providing a space to share local e-resources practices.
Background
Campuses had periodic questions about e-resources and thought it would be helpful if they could pose questions to an audience wider than ERES, and sought a forum to hold discussions outside of ERES meetings.
Based on the ERES https://uc-sils.atlassian.net/l/cp/jTdLfW75 a Slack channel could serve as a venue to document issues as they arose, in case issues were not mentioned at an ERES meeting. The channel was created with the understanding that it would facilitate conversation, but ERES members would not be responsible for answering questions.

Michelle Polchow (notes) | UCSD - have periodic questions and would be helpful to have a wider audience to query for situations as they arise. Suggest a new ERES slack channel in the SILS Community so more input. UCM - waiting on NZ task force for direction UCB - also look forward to acquisitions standardization from NZ, having problems with new orders and wrinkles that make it problematic to fit into Alma. Also endorse idea to have open community slack channel ACQ/ERES. UCLA - problem with ProQuest website, when you display “All databases” the historical newspaper titles are displaying duplicates. Would fixing this end up blocking access, if platform has odd way of turning these on? UCD - implemented a ‘journal title transfer’ workflow as intermediary stop-gap when CDL package loses a title, but publication remains locally important.
