[Libs-Or] Oregon Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee Update

[Emily Miller-Francisco]

The Oregon Statewide Database Licensing Advisory Committee met on November
9th. I'm emailing you today to share some of the highlights from that
meeting.

We are beginning to prepare for the next set of RFPs for statewide
databases. We looked at results from our survey and other feedback to see
what types of resources are in most demand. It is not surprising that the
needs are very different in different types of libraries. We hope to find a
variety of resources to address these differing needs. Currently we are
looking at general reference, career resources, peer-reviewed journals,
contemporary issues resources, e-books, lifelong learning resources, and
general periodicals. Each of these resources has a small group assigned to
elaborate on what we would like to see in that category. We will meet again
in the spring to finalize the scope of the RFPs and to discuss evaluation
criteria.
