Discussion of J-STOR
If J-STOR is purchased this year, the Library will need to pay a majority of the startup fee. Christopher is working with them to negotiate a plan that would allow the College to split the startup fees between two fiscal years. Christopher will not know until June whether his budget can accommodate a portion of J-STOR costs for this year. The budget committee has committed $15,000 of the 2002-03 budget for J-STOR.

J-STOR does not include many science journals. It is unclear at this how moving to J- STOR will affect science departments.

The question was raised regarding whether it fell under ISC's purview to fund a portion of J-STOR costs. The ISC budget mainly inherited from the Faculty Development committee. ISC's role as the Library/Bookstore committee is mostly in relation to policy.

Discussion of document delivery
Electronic reserve costs are absorbed by the Library; course packet costs are absorbed by students. Some electronic reserve items can be hot-linked to J-STOR without additional costs being incurred.

Christopher distributed a draft of Library Reserve Policy for future discussion.

It was suggested to poll the divisions regarding their views on document delivery: paper use, amount of acceptable risk, etc.

• Discuss preferences in terms of e-reserve vs. course packets.
• Remind faculty to be supportive and respectful of the Bookstore.
• What form of document distribution are they using?
• Pro's and con's of free and unlimited printing for students
• Christopher and/or Gail have agreed to attend the division meetings to provide
• information and answer questions on this matter.

April 4 meeting:
Discuss summer workshops (notice will need to go out)
Discuss last year's ISC report

Respectfully submitted,
