CDL-More on CD Policy for Open Source ebooks

From:
"McFarland, Anne" <Anne.McFarland_at_oneonta.edu>


I wonder if this is something that could be part of a discovery 
service?  So something like Hathi Trust or Google books (full text only) 
could simply be turned on as collections and "discoverable" through the 
discovery service not individual catalogs.  Just a thought.  Of course, 
we do not yet have a discovery service ...

I did receive several responses regarding the open source ebook policy.  
All except one were requests for me to send out the information that I 
gathered.
The only real input that I had was in the message below (thanks Jeff). 
  When we develop our policy I will send it to everyone. Thanks for your 
interest.

Linda,

My hope would be that we wouldn't do any "collecting" of these.  That 
is, what I want in my catalog is reliable meta-data about open access 
materials.  In that vein, what we would need is a metadata repository 
that we could harvest and import/maintain in whatever local catalog of 
materials our patrons use.  This would be similar to importing all the 
DOAJ titles into our ILS from Serials Solutions, SFX, etc.

Best,
