Information Sharing - group members will send:
1. Demographic and collection statistics. Pauline will create an Excel spreadsheet,
enter UT data, and forward to Paula for UK data. When Dennis adds Vanderbilt
data, he will post it on a website for access of all.
2. UT and UK will send lists of contemporary composers in their score blanket
order plans to Dennis. These lists will be the basis for future discussions
on distributing coverage of composers for broader collecting among the three
music libraries.
3. Current periodical lists
4. Current M2-M3 standing order lists
5. We will send notification of purchase decisions for new standing orders (M2-M3)
6. We will add each other to our email lists for materials regularly distributed:
a. Newsletter
b. Annual report
c. Annual plan / goals
Cooperative Lending Activities
1. We are willing to lend music CDs, DVDs, and possibly VHS.
a. Our concern with VHS is whether, through desensitizing, they might get demagnetized!
b. Pauline will confer with UT's David Atkins regarding how KUDZU courier handles
materials and whether ILS staff generally desensitize materials or not.
c. Dennis will ask staff to investigate bubble envelopes for packing.
d. Dennis will seek a "clear all" button on the shared KUDZU catalog.
2. We are willing to lend monumental editions (M2-M3) based on telephone request,
one music librarian to another. Evidence of demand will be gauged for future
discussion.
Consortial Purchases / Cooperative Collection Development
1. Do we already have a consortial price for New Grove Online?
2. Are consortial prices ever available for score blanket order plans? -We didn't
really discuss.
3. Future: might we want to actually divide up composers for standing orders
of monuments? We'll see how lending between us goes.
4. Future: If we each owned RIPM, we might want to divide up the print and microfilm
list of 19th and early 20th century music periodicals
