[Mcls-print-storage] Report on MI SPI and SCS Meeting at ALA

[Grudzien, Pamela A.]

Hello Everyone,

Several members of MI-SPI and Randy Dykhuis (MCLS) met with Rick Lugg and Andy Breeding from SCS  at ALA Midwinter. The discussion focused on adding new partners to the MI SPI project  This would involve combining data from new members with the existing MI SPI database, refreshing the collective collection data for the enlarged group, and producing weeding and retention lists based on the enlarged collection.  Also discussed was pricing for this work.

Rick Lugg said that the current model for creating shared print collections is to ingest and combine data from all members, apply the agreed upon criteria to the collective collection, run the analysis, and produce the resulting lists. Adding or deleting libraries from the group is hard for SCS. When adding libraries there are two options: 1. Re-create the dataset for the new group or  2. Create a new group with only the new libraries. Those at the meeting thought that the first option is more preferable for MI-SPI.

Pricing models might be organized into a regular payment schedule or payment upon delivery of a scheduled portion of the project.  These options are open to more discussion.

Next steps will be for the MI SPI Steering Committee to discuss this during a conference call scheduled for 13 March 2014.

Hope everyone is doing well-despite the  wind chill.

Best regards,
Pamela
