Technical Services Redesign Implementation

Redesign Task Force 1: Selection of
Fast-Track Monograph Vendors
SUL/AIR's Redesign of Technical Services calls
for dramatic changes in services from and
relationships with monograph vendors. Since the
business of managing approval plans requires
vendor sophistication with automated systems, it
likely will be these vendors who can provide the
ranges of products we will need for firm order
management as well as for the changing nature of
approval plans. While it is critical for our
English-language plans to have fast-track
processing in place no later than September 1,
1996, it also is desirable simultaneously to
select and begin working with vendors for
non-English language plans.
To this end, you are charged to:
-
Determine the best method and then follow
through on critical evaluation of vendors'
abilities to provide fast-track monographs,
both domestic and foreign. The assessments
should address:
a) materials scope, selection, and
services
b) materials pricing and discounts
c) data exchange services
d) end-processing services
-
Your evaluation should take special care to
include appropriate participation of staff
in:
a) Collections Program
b) End-Processing and shelving
c) Systems, for technical feasibility
d) Procurement, for SU purchasing
requirements
- Submit recommendations for selection of
fast-track vendors to the SUL/AIR directors and
negotiate their approval. Note areas where new
partnerships are possible or required, as well
as issues affecting the success of the new
relationships.
- Deliver the SUL/AIR selection of fast-track
monograph vendors to Redesign Implementation
Team by October 1, 1995.
The Redesign Implementation Team needs the
SUL/AIR decision on fast-track monograph vendors
in hand by October 1, 1995 so that negotiations
can occur over fall quarter and new approval plan
contracts can begin no later than January 1,
1996.
This Task Force is not "representative" of all
stakeholders; rather, it is a group of people
capable of effectively drawing on appropriate
staff in all departments of the Libraries to
provide the details which the Task Force needs to
accomplish its work.
Task Force members:
- Tony Angiletta (chair), AUL for
Collections
- Molly Carroll, Search/Order Specialist,
Acquisitions
- Karen Kalinsky, Head of
Acquisitions
- Henry Lowood, Curator for Germanic
Collections
- Bill McPheron, Curator for British and
American Literature
- Michael Newman, Head of Biology
Library
- Sharon Propas, Head of Search/Order
Group in Acquisitions
