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

Tue Mar 11 17:00:58 EDT 2014

Barbara,  I remember that you expressed these concerns at the MI SPI meeting at MCLS in October.  I can assure you that the Steering Committee will be considering next steps from many perspectives and probably will be working on option scenarios for discussion with the whole group.  One major part of the discussion will be the timing of
a refresh.  There will never be a convenient time for everyone involved.  Based on what SCS said, and the need to investigate funding or grant possibilities, it’s unlikely the refresh would happen before late 2015/early 2016.
 Creating the collective collection and sharing monograph retention was to be the first step in a collaborative collection development and management endeavor.   The addition of new partners is a key step in continuing the successful collaboration of the MI SPI project.  It is likely that once the institutions waiting in the wings are added the size of the group will remain stable for many years to come.
  Looking forward to talking about this at the Spring MI SPI meeting.

Well I guess I sent this to the full list anyway. Its probably better that my concerns are out there for all to review.

Hi Ellen & Bob,
I've tried to pen a response to the list a couple of times but it sounds churlish at best so I am soliciting your input. I am concerned that the steering committee may not represent the full range of opinions as they consider these options in light of the meeting with SCS.
At the last meeting I reminded the group that we had written into the MOU that libraries were not obliged to refresh.  I also said that WMU would prefer not to refresh in 2014/15. Mostly we are too busy with ILS selection issues and serial withdrawals but we also have a lot of also have a lot of potential monograph withdrawals from the previous lists and don't have extra money or time to spend on generating more. However, we are still committed to keep the retention titles that were on our list for the full 15 years.

Are we likely to be the only library who doesn't want to refresh at this time?  What is your situation?

One of the reasons I elected not to be on the steering committee is that committing time to the MI-SPI project is not a high priority for us currently. However, I am concerned about getting pinned into a corner here by others with different priorities.

I'm contacting you as fellow writers of the MOU and to gauge whether I am out of line here.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Barbara

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
