Day 2. Sunday 13 June

10.00 am

A relatively relaxed start with a breakfast meeting to learn about new developments from several learned societies.

1.Royal Society. Since 1660 with the oldest journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society since 1665. Their journals now rank in the top 10 of their subject category.

*** Check whether we do Package S. It is the entire bundle, saving 15% over individual subscriptions and includes the entire archive. Online generally 12 weeks ahead of print.

We have that content in JSTOR but all on one platform would be nice. Perhaps consortial access with Oberlin Group? Sarah Oelker, Mount Holyoke really likes that idea.
In Portico.
*** Fill out db recommendation form for a 30 day (ask for longer) free trial.

2. NRC is digitising their backfile but not all titles back to volume 1 yet.
I recommended "bite-sized chunks" unless whole archive really affordable.
I also recommended "sales" near fiscal year end.

3. Lyell Collection recognising that some potential customers already get some journal content via GSW (VC) there is a discount for GSW subscribers.
*** Fill out db recommendation form for a 30 day (ask for longer) free trial.
*** This might be good use of YENVI.

4. American Microbiological Association content is OA after 6 months. Yay!
New OA journal MBio.
*** Ask Andrea to SS if not already. We should register to get use stats.
AMA does LOCKSS but not Portico. I strongly urged that they join Portico.

Exhibit Opening

I'm on a mission to bend the ear of all journal vendors re
Portico
Deposit after 6 months once FRPAA is law, e.g to ArXiv. (Portland Press does this for NIH supported papers.)
Backfile: affordable/free; "sale" @year end; "bite sized chunks"
Perpetual access for PPV. This could be a huge win/win for libraries and publishers. They would sell $millions in a year if they did this. Several librarians agree they would support ppv with such a model.
*** Send these to PAM and PAM Publisher liaisons and ASL.
Met friends, collected info and goodies and enjoyed food and drink, especially shrimp and grits.

5.00 pm Awards and Keynote
I did not pay close attention but multitasked and started this blog!

7.30 pm Awards Reception
Used ticket donated by Roberta (Bobby) Goering.
*** Try to contact her and thank her as it was a lot of fun.
First fun part was being bussed - all the way to the adjacent building!
Next fun part was walking through huge warehouse of old floats and watching band make a grand noise.
Final fun part was exploring food and drink options and making new friends - Eric Schwartz who teaches a course at Rutgers, Susan who was at breakfast session and Judy, former SLA President and newly inducted SLA Hall of Famer (had I been paying attention!)
Eric and I closed out party, 3 of us in huge coach to round the corner but then as it was taking E to Sheraton I stayed onto Tchouptitoulas St which the bus driver pronounced for me and told me it was a Choctaw name.
And so to bed.
