CONSER, BIBCO, and PCC Policy Committee members,
As requested I am sending out some of the decisions made at the joint
BIBCO/CONSER
meeting (first two pages) and the CONSER meetings last
week: http://www.loc.gov/acq/conser/Outcomes-April30-May1-2009.pdf I am
afraid there is not too much context here and not every discussion is
recounted, but I thought better to get these out sooner rather than later,
especially since we could go ahead and start working on some of these
decisions now. The joint and CONSER agendas are available
from: http://www.loc.gov/acq/conser/agenda-ops-2009.html
Hien and I worked with Judy Kuhagen (LC Policy and Standards Division) on
the online series proposals. We believe there was consensus to pursue this
compromise that Judy suggested so I have included some suggested next
steps. One assumption I made was that we would want to have these policies
apply across the board to e-monographs, e-integrating resources, and
e-serials. We didn't talk about integrating resources in this context at
the meeting so please let me know if there are any concerns about that.
Thanks to those of you who prepared discussion documents and facilitated
discussions (in some cases on very short notice!) Thanks also to everyone
in attendance for your participation and willingness to work through some
difficult topics.
Please let me know if you have any other comments --Les
