        Hathi Trust written memo to OCLC (Mary Sauer-Games),

we don’t want to be charged to upload holding records for catalog records we have already paid for; needs to be part of the message today (if they don’t come back with the message that they are able to meet our requests from last meeting); OCLC doesn’t charge to register journal holdings, historically charged for shared print symbol but dropped that one year ago (barrier for some ASERL, WEST, others?);

  1. Additional topics?

  2. Next phone meeting

Decisions:

  • For the governance document: Concerning the Executive Committee, “Assistant Chair” is changed to “Staff to the Committee”. This individual will serve as Chair of the Operations Committee.
  • Governance document is ratified and representatives may now be chosen.
    • Each program chooses their own representatives (one representative for every 25 libraries in their program).
    • Timeline: Two Weeks – Names go to program coordinators and then to Ben Walker who will post them to the Rosemont Website.
  • CRL: Judy Russell, John Culshaw, and Mimi Calter will engage with CRL on their substantive questions and frame questions to clarify how CRL can support Rosemont.
    • The operations committee will assist in gathering data needed to respond to CRL’s questions.
  • SCS/OCLC: Rosemont representatives will have a conversation with SCS on June 24th, see what they have developed, and bring that information back to the Rosemont committees.

Ongoing Discussion Points:

  • Statement of Access Principles
  • Last Copy Policy/Broader Initiative

Next Meeting:

After the establishment of the Executive Committee; within the next month or so.
