From celeste.feather at lyrasis.org Tue Jun 11 10:32:46 2013 From: celeste.feather at lyrasis.org (Celeste Feather) Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 10:32:46 -0400 Subject: [Lyrarl] Reveal Digital User Group Open Meeting at ALA - RSVP Please Message-ID: <2292A4BA7D7F2849B5C69093E659924B260F46611C@lyraatlexec> As mentioned earlier on this list, LYRASIS is providing administrative support for the Independent Voices open access initiative from Reveal Digital. I am aware of 25 ARL member libraries that have offered support for the project to date. There will be a meeting for participants and any other interested folks at ALA on Friday evening. Please share the invitation from Reveal below with anyone in your library who might be interested in learning more about this project. I can vouch that response so far has been quite positive towards the model that Reveal is creating in close conversation with the library and consortial community. Celeste ******************* During ALA, we invite you to attend the inaugural joint User Group-Steering Committee meeting for Reveal Digital to be held on Friday, June 28 (7-8:30 p.m.) in the Buckingham Suite, located on the Bronze Level of the East Tower, Hyatt Regency Chicago, 151 East Wacker Drive. Thanks to a warm reception by the library community, our first open-access collection on the alternative press, Independent Voices, is now in full production. In the first few months since our launch, over thirty libraries have purchased the collection and we are now over 25% toward our cost recovery goal. This open meeting will provide you with an opportunity to learn more about Reveal's unique cost recovery = open access model and how the model can be applied to fund the digitization of special collections. A recent Library Journal article will give you an overview of our approach. In addition to interested librarians, the meeting will include members of our Steering Committee and representatives from supporting libraries, and will cover topics such as: * Progress on the Independent Voices collection * New sourcing libraries * Platform and data model updates * Long-term hosting alternatives * Ideas for future digital collections * How libraries can advocate for more open-access collections * And much more We hope you will join us for this opportunity to network with other forward-thinking librarians, share your ideas, and discuss digital collection issues-in addition to enjoying light refreshments. To register your attendance for this event or if you have questions, please email Jeff Moyer at: jmoyer at revealdigital.com.

We have had successful negotiations with Project MUSE, Oxford University Press, and De Gruyter, and we expect those offers to continue in 2014. Throughout this time we have been in intermittent conversation with JSTOR representatives regarding a potential ebook offer that meets ARL's license requirements, but so far we have not arrived at a satisfactory conclusion in our talks. We have identified 4 major issues with license terms that cover the university press ebook content at JSTOR to date. 1. No ILL rights for JSTOR ebook content 2. No option for loading content on local or third-party servers 3. No provision for content file delivery if a library ceases to have an ongoing relationship with JSTOR 4. No indemnification of the libraries by JSTOR or the participating presses We will continue our endeavors to negotiate a license for JSTOR ebook content that meets ARL license requirements, and will keep you informed of any progress that we make as we focus on 2014.

If any of you happen to be in the exhibit hall during that time, please stop by and chat for a moment. I'd enjoy putting names and faces together. I've gotten to know many of you virtually and would welcome the opportunity to meet you in person. Safe journeys to all who are traveling this week.
