1. Building Area Studies Collections, Individually and Collectively: Bill
Schenck, Ann Okerson
Few of us can rally monitor the vernacular language collections being
built at our institutions — specifically the "JACKPHY" collections
(Japanese, Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Persian, Hebrew and Yiddish). How do
we go about evaluating these collections? For academic libraries, area
studies collecting in general has lately shifted from a geographic mode to
a programmatic or topical mode. How do we cope with this in a very
interdisciplinary environment? What are the area studies collection
development consortia doing to solve problems that these materials present?
What role do we as collection development librarians play in these area
study consortia? What has worked well for them and what has not?
2. Budgeting for Information Resources in Times of Change: Linda Gould
How do we resolve tensions between centralized budgeting for the myriad
types of electronic information, along with the need to allow selectors to
continue making informed individual decisions about more traditional works,
or more specialized electronic resources? What are we doing currently to
deal with the continuing problem of rising costs of serials (especially
STM) and the need to build monograph collections?
3. Discussion of ARL's conference on the Specialized Scholarly Monograph
in Crisis: Bob Sewell, Linda Gould
How are the changes in the academy and scholarship, the culture of
tenure
and credentialing of faculty, costs of monographs in both digital and print
formats and the impact of serial price increases impacting our monograph
collections? What can we expect to see in the development of new patterns
of publishing and costs models in the near future?
5. ARL's Licensing Workshops: Bonnie MacEwan
Recent emphasis on education for issues involved with licensing
access and
ownership of information have increased the attention paid to this process
across many academic libraries. What have we recently learned from the
process and from our experience with licensing in both the institutional
and consortial environments?
5.ARL and a discussion of Special Collections: Gordon Rowley
The ARL Research Collections Committee has added the topic of Special
Collections to their agenda for the coming year. Joe Hewitt, UNC,
introduced the topic for discussion and prepared a brief statement on it
for the ARL meeting. Are the specific points that the Discussion Group
would like to see made in any such discussion?
Item for next CCDOLRL Meeting:
Gifts and Exchange Programs: Jeffrey Horrell
How do gifts and the processing of gifts impact our collecting
activities?
What are the important issues in donor relations, and how are we
addressing them? How vigorously are research libraries maintaining
exchange programs, particularly outside the former Soviet Union?
