Nicole offered us a comprehensive comparison in the meeting between the composition and scope differences between the E-Resources Steering Committee and the E-Resouces Subcommittee.
The E-Resouces Steering Committee meets with less frequency (Once a month)
It is composed of: One (1) individual from OCLS concerned with E-Resource Services, a chair from the colleges, and four (4) regional members - one (1) for each ‘region’ of Ontario as OCLS has established.
The most notable difference in the composition of the two bodies is that not everyone on the Steering Committee is involved in the Page 1+ Project, whereas everyone on the Subcommittee is.The E-Resources Steering Committee is concerned with high-level strategies and how to fulfill college needs (this includes prioritization of certain topics and deciding what topics need to be addressed in the upcoming year)
The E-Resources Subcommittee is more concerned with the minutia of e-resources, such as user experiences with e-resources, systems questions, the functions of access within the system, etc.
There are many discussions still happening in regards to the future of subcommittees, primarily each subcommittee's purpose as we transition to the next stage of the Page 1+ Project.
It is possible that the E-Resouces Steering Committee and the E-Resources Subcommittee will be combined as needs are re-evaluated.
In the interim, we can create a list of what kind of people we think the new committee may need and what projects/topics would benefit from the committee's attention.
ACTION ITEM: Everyone is to review the terms of reference for the E-Resources Steering Committee and the E-Resources Subcommittee, the information for which will be posted on a new Confluence page.
(The new Confluence page will be concerned with establishing what tasks/projects could be beneficial to colleges in the future going forward. The focus is on identifying the work - the finer points can and will be solidified at a later date)ACTION ITEM: Aura Hill and Lauren Rupert to set up the new Confluence page: “Identifying “Identifying Future E-Resources/Acquisitions Work” Work” and share the link with the relevant members.
