Dear SCCKG:
CDL and the Joint Steering Committee for Shared Collections (JSC) are
conducting their annual call to the CKGs about ideas for one-time
systemwide purchases. Michael and I would like to get your input on
resources our group should recommend. Note that open access resources may
be included. There's a limit of 3 recommended new purchases per CKG.
Please share your ideas with the group by the end of day *Tuesday, February
7*. The survey (attached) is looking for:
1. Name of the resource you're recommending
2. Publisher/vendor
3. Estimated or proposed cost of the resource
4. Whether any campuses already subscribe
5. Brief description of what the resource is
6. Why it's appropriate for systemwide investment
After February 7, Michael and I will compile and submit on behalf of the
SCCKG. For context, here are some recent systemwide investments (some I
think arising from this JSC call):
*2021* investments related to schol-comm:
https://cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2021/08/17/new-scholarly-communication-investments-by-cdl/
- Directory of Open Access Books and OAPEN
- Open Access Switchboard
- OpenCitations
- PsyArXiv
- SCOAP3 Books
*2022 *investments related to schol-comm:
https://cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2022/07/11/new-scholarly-communication-investments-by-cdl-2022/
- American Indian Culture and Research Journal
- SciPost
- Open Education Network
- DSpace
- ArXiv
- Open Access Switchboard
- Directory of Open Access Journals
- Directory of Open Access Books
- PsyArXiv
One resource I was thinking of suggesting is the Open Access Community
Investment Program <https://www.lyrasis.org/content/Pages/oacip.aspx>
(OACIP). OACIP is a community-driven crowdfunding framework that enables
libraries and other stakeholders to support diamond open access journal
publishing. You can see that some UC schools and CDL have already committed
funding to some of the journals open for investment. This would be another
way for UC to continue to support non-APC based OA publishing discussed as
part of Pathways to Open Access <https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5gc4r5mg>
.
Apparently Project Muse, MIT, UC Press, and Oxford University Press are
already under consideration for funding so we don't need to recommend them.
Michael and I suggest we also take the same tactic as last year and respond
with "no opinion" on the subject-specific individual resources that will
potentially be renewed. IMO our focus should be on putting forward any
systemwide schol-comm related purchases/investments.
Thanks,
Tim + Michael

Subject: FY 22/23 Annual JSC Survey: Responses requested by Friday,
February 10, 2023
To:
Dear CKG Chairs/Conveners,
Each year, the California Digital Library (CDL) and the Joint Steering
Committee for Shared Collections (JSC) <https://cdlib.org/groups/jsc/>
organize a survey to solicit recommendations from UC Libraries and Common
Knowledge Groups (CKGs) <https://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/ckg>
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.*
Survey link: FY 22/23 Annual JSC Survey
<https://survey.alchemer.com/s3/7171924/Annual-JSC-Survey-for-New-Library-Resources-FY-2022-23>
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)
<https://libraries.universityofcalifornia.edu/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:
- Recommended resources are meant to improve systemwide access to
important scholarly work. For example, resources recommended and
purchased in FY 21/22
<https://cdlib.org/cdlinfo/2022/07/08/fy21-22-new-resources-jsc-annual-survey/>
advance
the diversity of voices represented in our collections.
- Prioritize one-time purchases over ongoing commitments for maximum
flexibility in future collecting.
- Purchasing or licensing decisions reflect a systemwide viewpoint and
do not solely reflect the specific preferences or needs of a local campus.
Thank you in advance for your participation.
Regards,
Lisa Moske on behalf of the JSC and CDL
