Dear CKG Chairs/Conveners,
Each year, the California Digital Library (CDL) and the Joint Steering Committee for Shared Collections (JSC) organize a survey to solicit recommendations from UC Libraries and Common Knowledge Groups (CKGs) for potential systemwide resource purchases. Each designated campus representative and CKG Chair is asked to complete and submit one survey on behalf of their group by the end of business on Friday, February 10, 2023.

In addition, a PDF version of the survey is attached for your convenience.
Process
The JSC reviews and evaluates survey responses for resources that have systemwide interest, are affordable, and meet UC-wide collection goals. The JSC ranks the responses, CDL solicits proposals from vendors, and final recommendations for resources to be acquired in FY 22/23 are presented to the UC Libraries Shared Content Leadership Group (SCLG) for approval. Approved resources are incorporated into CDL’s annual licensing work plan for the current fiscal year.
FY 22/23 Annual JSC Survey
The survey includes a list of resources for consideration and incorporates recommendations from past surveys that have continued interest for systemwide acquisition. Please note that some resources currently under consideration for funding in FY 22/23 are not included in this survey. These are mainly Ebook Strategies Team recommendations such as Project Muse, MIT, UC Press, and Oxford University Press.
Each UC Library and CKG Chair is asked to submit one response to the survey. Each designated campus and CKG respondent may also provide up to three new recommendations on behalf of their UC Library or CKG. CKG Chairs are responsible for collaborating within their CKG to review the resources on the survey and to prioritize recommendations. Each Chair will then submit the survey on behalf of their CKG.
Principles Guiding Systemwide Resource Purchases
When considering the resources from prior surveys and when making new recommendations, keep in mind the following JSC principles to guide decisions for new content purchases:
Thank you in advance for your participation.
