Subject: ASERL Collections Offers Survey

Hello ASERL Collections colleagues,
We’re kicking off a new season of ASERL collaboration and would value your 
input on a couple of collections topics. First up: We have been approached by 
several vendors who would like to propose an offer or explain more about their 
available product. In an effort to consolidate this communication, we are 
thinking about offering a demo session (or a series of sessions) where vendors 
might be able to talk briefly to our community.

Before planning that, though, we’d like to hear from you whether or not you 
have any interest in these specific vendors. We also recognize that the person 
receiving this message may not be the person best suited to answer, so please 
feel free to pass along to your acquisitions or other colleagues.

The broad strokes of the offers are indicated below. For each offer, please 
indicate your level of interest, and note any comments or questions. We do ask 
that you also let us know who is responding so we can follow up if necessary. 
Please respond to the survey by Friday, October 27.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at rebecca [at]

  *   Janes/OSINT (inquiry)
     *   “Janes<https://www.janes.com/osint-from-janes> is a provider of open 
source intelligence resources to governments, militaries and academics 
globally. I’d be happy to learn how ASERL provides their member resources and 
if things Janes is doing with similar groups like NERL could be helpful for you 
too.”
  *   IWA Publishing (inquiry)
     *   In 2020, ASERL held a Society Publishers Coalition focus group. “IWA 
Publishing and our counterparts at the Royal Society, Microbiology Society, 
Company of Biologists and Portland Press remain keen to share our experience of 
the transition to open access over the last two years and future strategy with 
ASERL members. IWA Publishing has been at the forefront of developing the 
Subscribe to Open model that facilitates equitable open access without levying 
article processing charges. It would be great to hear from you if you think 
there might be sufficient interest to organise a follow up to the session run 
in the fall of 2020.”

Thank you!
-Rebecca
