<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">I’m very pleased to be working with you all as consultant/project coordinator for MI-SPI for the next year. My first task is to finalize MI-SPI’s next agreement with OCLC regarding MI-SPI data
and access to it. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">Earlier in the year, MI-SPI members were surveyed about their interests in a mini-refresh of our collection data and continuing access to the MI-SPI data set via GreenGlass. Randy shared the
results with you several weeks ago. There was some interest in the refresh. But, there was interest in continuing GreenGlass access from all the members except CMU Libraries. This information was shared with OCLC and you can read the excerpt from Peter Zeimet’s
response just below. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">Our team discussed this and it turns out splitting the group would be more work than if everyone did a data refresh. So we think the group needs to choose one option</span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">
or the other… </span><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Calibri Light",sans-serif;color:black">If I need to adjust the proposal for CMU’s departure please let me know. I can advance the order and send you a copy for your records. I’m happy to talk through this over
the phone as well.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D">I talked with CMU Libraries Dean Kathy Irwin late last week and she decided to opt in for the GreenGlass subscription. So we have truly unanimous partner support for this option. After discussion
with the MI-SPI Steering Committee, it was agreed that we should pursue the GreenGlass subscription with OCLC/SCS, at this point in time. We will work toward the other option, a refresh of MI-SPI data, as a goal for 2019.
