Summary of discussions with TSELG, RMFG, CDL e-books strategies taskforce: this is a decision for a taskforce beyond just PSELG to pick up after migration on the question of when do we rely on the CDI for Open Access discovery of items, when do we catalog an OA item and who catalogs the item.

• TSELG conversation: Each campus approaches cataloging OA items differently and a taskforce would need to understand what each campus does. The decision would impact local and centralized cataloging resources. There is much to be debated about the value of indexing versus the value of cataloging, the distinct purposes of each, and the resulting findability for the end-user. More TSELG detailed notes in Google Drive.

• RMFG conversation: We can’t harmonize this practice before migration given other deadlines, so move the data and decide after July. More RMFG detailed notes in Google Drive.

• CDL e-book strategies taskforce conversation: Policies and Procedures exist for shared cataloging of OA materials in the UCs. More CDL TF detailed notes in Google Drive.

Common threads from the discussions:

• Each group thought there should be a system-wide decision as part of SILS with stakeholders beyond cataloging.

• Each group felt unable to address the complexity of the issue alone because it had implications for workload, end-user functionality/discovery, and philosophical implications of how we (UC as a system) live our values related to OA.

• The need to move through Vanguard to Implementation takes precedence over this discussion but the issue needs to be addressed post implementation.

Framework for discussion in PSELG:

• Review documentation (links provided above) prior to 11/2/20 meeting.

• Clarifying questions about problem: open group discussion.

• Recommend pathways forward immediately, one of which is creating a decision page, and after July 2021 (please review examples in SILS Decision Rollup page)
