Goal 3 Comments: December 5 - 9
GOAL THREE: COOPERATION: To provide a cost-effective system for accessing government documents and information service through the development of cooperative agreements and the elimination of unnecessary duplication. [Robin suggested this section be completely deleted.]
OBJECTIVES:
3-1 Selective depository libraries should review selections annually.
3-2 Libraries should develop cooperative collection or licensing agreements with other libraries to enhance libraries’ ability to purchase electronic services that support depository collections.
3-3 Libraries with large special collections or retrospective collections such as maps should inform other libraries of their resource potential (Appendix 2).
3-4 Libraries may develop selective housing agreements with other libraries for the placement of federal document material (Appendix 3).

I'd like to hear Robin's reasons about deleting this section.
In lieu of that, I'll make some comments.
3-2: How often do we "purchase electronic services to support depository collections"? I suggest we delete this section.
3-5: Appendix 5 (rather than 6)discusses procedures for disposal of depository publications.
We should add a section 3-6 for information about the deposlib list refer to appendix 6 on guidelines on preparation of disposal lists.

I think the goal of cooperation is OK and the objectives are good though 3-1 doesn't need to be stated. Fix 3-5 (App. 5) and add 3-6 for App. 6.

Would "electronic services to support depository collections" include products such as the commercially available online versions of the Serial Set? If so, we should keep the section.
Instead of "purchase" I'd recommend wording along the lines of "acquire access" since often we lease access to these online products instead of buying them outright.
I am a bit late with commenting because I can't quite bring up what it is that I want to say:
How about this:
Before we can talk about duplicating, we need to find out what it is we duplicate...that is a system/program where we can easily see major parts of collections.
As for licensing agreements, I think that we can work with the State Library on this...it is already in place...maybe we need to suggest and advocate databases that would bring government documents to the "masses" that is beyond a single library system.
The Needs and Offers list needs it own goal I think.
