There was a proposal from an Executive Board member for the committee to gather information about web compliance and Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPATs) for CARLI brokered resources. Several committee members have experience with VPATs and see this as a short term project. A spreadsheet will be created for the VPAT information gathered. In the future, VPAT collection will be ongoing and may become part of CARLI's standard electronic resources licensing template.
Several ideas were mentioned as a possible annual project for the committee. The committee decided there was a need for workshops on various electronic resources topics. Possible ideas for workshops include usage statistics, LibGuides, Consortia Manager, COUNTER 5, licensing principles, vendor presentations, streaming video, LMS/CMS integration. Target date is in the spring in Champaign.
American Mathematical Society Journals: CARLI will move forward if it can be done as an amendment to the current agreement.
Start gathering VPAT information; Xiaotian will make a spreadsheet.
