00:08:51 Chris Rudecoff: on the positive side - with all this cool/cold weather the daffodils are really lasting a long time 00:08:58 Holly C.: I hear a canine participant :-) 00:09:06 Yvonne Kester: Hi Hadeen! 00:09:48 Hadeen Stokes: Good morning Yvonne! 00:16:42 Maureen Zajkowski: Scholarly Communication has additional folks (Chris Hollister, Wendi Ackerman, Elaine Lasda) 00:17:08 Elaine Wells: If Scholarly communication is not full, I would like to be part of that. 00:17:49 Maureen Zajkowski: Thanks Elaine - will add you 00:18:25 Timothy Arnold: Can you re-share the volunteer link? 00:19:15 Andy Heiz Orange County: I would like to help with the physical spaces team. 00:19:28 Timothy Arnold: Cool. Thanks. 00:20:11 Jennifer Smathers: SILC 00:20:25 Jeff Howe: I would be interested in helping with professional development if the volunteer form could be shared again 00:20:49 Bridget Doloresco: Could you link to the form in the chat? 00:21:19 Jennifer Smathers: https://bit.ly/4weekvolunteers 00:21:26 Bridget Doloresco: Thanks, Jennifer! 00:21:34 Jennifer Smathers: =) 00:21:43 Keri Thomas-Whiteside: Thanks Jennifer 00:23:18 karen gelles: many vendors on my waldo renewal had increases 00:25:17 Lauren Jackson-Beck: I agree--a collective statement! 00:25:36 Brenda Hazard: Maybe hold up Redshelf and VitalSource as exemplars of generosity in response to pandemic 00:27:03 Keri Thomas-Whiteside: Agreed, Brenda 00:27:29 Jennifer Smathers: https://bit.ly/4weekvolunteers 00:27:31 Marianne Hebert: OCLC has been awesome and responsive with adding resources to our hosted proxy server! 00:27:38 Susan DB: Some providers are more willing to offer better pricing if you agree to multi-year agreements. Keep that in mind. 00:28:18 Carrie Marten: Good point Susan, but I think some of us are going to find we don't have the money for even one year. That is the big problem. 00:28:44 Carrie Marten: If we don't come together collectively, the vendors could divide and conquer as best they can. 00:29:03 Mustafa Sakarya: Very true regarding multi year. Seems unfair to ask for multi year in this environment. 00:29:19 Carrie Marten: And how many of us will have no choice to just cancel and never renew resources? 00:30:12 Sarah Morehouse (ESC): We are having to do some of that, Carrie 00:30:22 Esta Tovstiadi: That is exactly the message we need to be sending to vendors, Carrie. They need to understand that cancellations are coming, and if they want to keep working with us, they need to work with our budget. 00:30:47 Mustafa Sakarya: So true, Esta. Who else will buy their resources if not libraries? 00:30:50 Susan DB: I mentioned it as part of the negotiating strategy by the providers. I wondered if the state would not encourage mutli-year even with the opt-out clauses. So one year would be all that would be permitted. 00:31:05 Carrie Marten: Yes. And we should leverage, in a kind way, our long standing relationships with these vendors. 00:31:38 Esta Tovstiadi: Absolutely. 00:31:55 Carrie Marten: But collectively, no need for each of us to do all this heavy negotiating with vendors. Especially if we end up losing staff. 00:32:22 Mustafa Sakarya: Yes, we've had solid, payment histories with the vendors. We want to build on that in a positive message. 00:32:31 Susan DB: I fear some of the vendors will take a year of cancellations to come to the realization that the base pricing has to lower. That is, they will be slow to accept until the reality sinks in. 00:32:56 Carrie Marten: Very true Susan. It may just be the way it goes. 00:32:57 Marianne Hebert: WALDO is offering semester long licenses, but I’m not sure which databases. 00:33:06 Keri Thomas-Whiteside: I agree Susan - the publishers just don't seem to get it. 00:33:15 Marianne Hebert: I will be asking some vendors for 6 month renewals. 00:35:05 Ken: A lot of companies are going through hardships too. Subscriptions that we drop this year might not even exist next year. I am also worried about book distributors, as physical material purchases also on hold. Some companies might not survive this 00:35:40 Susan DB: The news that SUNY greatly reduced its Elsevier contract obligation is not going to help our cause. Too soon for fall enrollment numbers to add to the case. 00:35:47 Mark McBride: Ebsco furloughed several of their employees 00:36:02 Carrie Marten: Good point Ken. But we cannot spend money we don't have. 00:36:08 Keri Thomas-Whiteside: I could see a lot of print serials falling off as well as some university presses. 00:36:20 Carrie Marten: This is going to be hard for everyone. 00:36:24 Mustafa Sakarya: Good point on the shared pain with companies. But a 25% reduction could keep them afloat. 00:36:29 Carey Hatch: Interesting to think of the role of the repository and alternative publishing platforms in this changing ecosystem 00:36:48 Yvonne Kester: Yes. 00:37:16 Carey Hatch: The Covid battle is being fought with open science! 00:37:50 Yvonne Kester: One planet, one people. 00:38:03 Holly C.: To some degree though, by the generosity of publishers making articles available for the moment. 00:38:10 Susan DB: True Carey, but not sure undergraduates care that much. The large aggregated databases are perfect (almost) for their needs. 00:40:45 Susan DB: For many publishers, will their boards/ownership accept lower profits? Goodwill is not quite the same as money in the bank. Not defending them, but this is a very complicated situation. 00:44:15 Michelle Eichelberger: and Primo is evolving to get better with how it manages collections 00:49:47 Brett Arno: I notice Resource Sharing is missing from that list Shannon, as that continues to evolve and be expanded is that a separate realm or is that something that's included into the 5 hour limitation of Baseline Support 00:50:43 Brett Arno: Ok, great thanks! 00:51:35 Sarah Weisman: Will you waive the training fee for campuses that cannot pay the $100? At SUNY Oswego, justification is required for every expense now. I think our requests will be approved, but I am concerned about other campuses. 00:53:15 Brenda Hazard: A workshop on the Alma overlap analysis tool will be well timed! Thank you! 00:53:16 Carrie Marten: This is great Esta. 00:53:44 Carrie Marten: Same at Purchase Sarah. 00:54:06 Susan Perry: @Sarah - I will be recording/sharing the sessions after the course, for anyone who cannot attend live 00:54:25 Hadeen Stokes: Thank you 00:54:42 Chris Rudecoff: Also very interested in the overlap analysis - we really miss the serial solutions tool. 00:54:50 Sara - Cayuga: They just did the analysis for Cayuga and it was excellent. Extremely helpful! 00:57:53 Christine Faraday: What would you consider low volume? 00:58:03 Yvonne Kester: It's easy and fun. :-) 00:58:12 Christine Faraday: TY! 00:58:46 Shannon Pritting: @Christine: for articles, I'd say low volume would be under 250 article requests per year (many SUNYs are well below this). 01:00:11 Jennifer Smathers: info@slcny.libanswers.com 01:01:07 Cristina Pope: Off topic .... if you have a current/recent job description for a Library Clerk 2, can you share with me?
