360 COUNTER - Implementing 360 COUNTER at Cornell will maximize the common systems used in e-resource management place across 2CUL. Gathering Cornell currently harvests COUNTER usage data manually from over 100 providersData in a common place for providers annually, posting the individual reports on a wiki space for selectors and assessment staff to use. Gathering this data is currently a time-consuming process (~.15 FTE/year to gather and maintain the reports and administrative information) and the current system provides no added functionality to merge or analyze reports (Cornell should expect to be able to save significant time in this area). Among the features of 360 COUNTER are usage report, and consolidated reporting. Finally, having data from both Cornell and Columbia gathered and stored in a common system will allow for more joint data analysis, potential shared maintenance, and to take advantage of future enhancements in the 360 COUNTER systemSerials Solutions assessment systems.
RM-CE - Adding the consortial level service to RM will set a foundation for much greater collaboration in the areas of E-resource troubleshooting, accounts management, and common workflows. As we integrate RM-CE features into our workflow, we will identify areas to reduce duplication of effort, reconcile holdings between partners, and gain valuable experience working together.
If 2CUL moves ahead with Alma or another joint management system in the future, our work in all of these systems will help us migrate to a new system with a common vision.
