JISC Content Expert Group (CEG) (previously the Content Collections
Strategy Group (JCCSG)) |
Jane attended a meeting on 3 March. The minutes are not yet available. Items discussed: · Elsevier · Rights retention Rights retention could impact on Open Access. This is of interest to RLUK and the Content Strategy Network. There are currently problems with inconsistencies in the documentation and the language. This is time consuming. There have been concerns raised about the complexity of this area of work. |

Reports on enhancement groups |
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the enhancement groups still have vacancies. Suggestion to be made to the other committee members on these groups to see if anyone would be prepared to step up. One more attempt at going back to the committees before going out to recruit. Michelle will ask a colleague in case they are interested. Suggestion made to ask someone new to join as a member, rather than as a chair or to contact the supplier in case they have a suitable contact. Elaine will contact members and / or previous chairs. |

AGM feedback / Summer Event: |
Feedback from the AGM - 14 responses which were all fine. · Mixed response to the number of breaks. · Suggestion of getting institutions to speak · Jisc content was welcomed. Michelle suggested breakout rooms to allow a chance to chat before the event begins. Improvements suggested: · Plant some questions in advance · Pre-recorded questions as at Digifest? · A social networking break could be useful – to allow people to step away but keep the session open. · Subtitling for accessibility – set this up but it can be switched off if preferred. · Slide with the housekeeping prepared. Michelle suggested a trial event with just Committee members to test out these features. Ideas suggested for future events: · LMS move / systems review – too specific · Data – using data to influence decisions, particularly with regard to lockdown. See Digifest with OU and SCONUL. · Post Lockdown plans – blended approach · EBook / ETextbooks – lots have already covered this such as UCL Open Science Mixed online and live events in the future – the experience is that this doesn’t work well and needs technology and a physical set up. The general opinion was to stay online for this event. Elaine’s suggestion of strategic planning after COVID. - What has been dropped, what is new, what is likely to remain long-term. - Prioritise talks which have a takeaway. Jane and Elaine to target speakers they have heard at other events. Nicola to send out an email to the group to ask for volunteers for the lightening talks. |
