[Eril-l] Call for Participation for Second Cohort of CCLIP Working Groups

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

**Apologies for cross posting**


The IMLS-funded Collaborative Collections Lifecycle Project (CCLP)
<https://sites.google.com/view/cclifecycleproject/home> and its
associated Collaborative
Collections Lifecycle Infrastructure Project (CCLIP)
<https://niso.org/standards-committees/cclip> continue to build greater
community collaboration in smart collection management and improving
institutional efficiency through partnership. The CCLP seeks to overcome
serious barriers to wider implementations of cooperative collections
management, including the lack of available vendor-neutral interoperable
systems, adequate governance and decision-making frameworks, and assessment
tools.

The CCLIP Recommended Practice, feeding CCLP efforts, will document
exchange protocols that describe gathering, normalizing, and exchanging
holdings information, contractual information, retention obligations, and
usage data. It will describe aggregation of library staff and subject
matter expertise, local and group-based insights, and the publisher and
marketplace information necessary to support collaborative decisions at the
local and cross-institutional levels. The Recommended Practice will also
explore assessment processes among partner institutions, provide
definitions, describe personas, and outline their related workflows.The
first CCLIP cohort working groups, Collections Development and Selection,
Infrastructure, and Organizational Strategy and Governance, are currently
hard at work focusing on outputs in their areas.

NISO now seeks volunteers for the second cohort of working groups to focus
on additional elements of the overall Recommended Practice:

The Acquisitions working group will focus on developing community guidance
on the procurement workflows institutions will use to acquire content in
the context of cooperative collections development. NISO seeks
participation from acquisitions librarians or specialists, electronic
resources librarians or specialists, resource sharing librarians, licensing
specialists, library management, access services librarians, library
systems managers, product/software developers, and content providers.

The Assessment/Data Analysis working group will examine existing workflows
for creating and modifying collections, monitoring usage, and providing
financial reports and work to identify functionality gaps and user needs
related to reporting and assessment in a collaborative environment. NISO
seeks participation from assessment librarians, library systems managers,
product and software developers, data exchange specialists, and those in
library management.

The Cataloging/Metadata working group will explore existing workflows for
creating and modifying records and work to identify functionality gaps and
user needs for metadata workers in a collaborative environment. NISO seeks
participation from cataloging and metadata librarians or specialists,
technical services librarians, resource sharing librarians, library systems
managers, product and software developers, and data exchange specialists.

The groups’ work is expected to run from approximately September 2023 to
October 2024. We anticipate that on average all working groups will meet
virtually via Zoom twice a month for one-hour meetings. About 2–3 hours of
offline work per month are also anticipated. Working group members will be
expected to collect or create reference materials, analyze them through
discussion, and collaboratively draft new outputs as part of their tasks.
There may be additional methods or tools that working groups develop to
support project outputs. Additional details on the scope and expected
outputs for each working group are available on the NISO website.

Please send a short email with a sentence or two describing your interest
and which working group you’d like to participate in to nisohq at niso.org.

NISO will also hold a free webinar on Wednesday, September 27 at 3:00 pm EDT
<https://niso.org/events/cclp-public-update-webinar> to update the public
on the progress of the CCLP and CCLIP initiatives and provide information
on the new working groups. All interested parties are welcome to attend!

Best,

The NISO Team
