SCELC Transformative Agreements: Task Force Description & Membership

1. Review transformative agreement values & goals documents from other consortia 

2. Agree on a shared definition of transformative agreements

3. Create, distill and debate a shared list of values & goals gleaned from the review and our combined individual experiences

4. Seek SCELC member feedback / prioritization via a survey

5. Share results via Channel One (May 6) 

6. Finalize a SCELC Transformative Agreement Values & Goals document for recommendation to the board & posting on the website

7. Review & advise on a plan to be drafted by SCELC staff to operationalize these goals

The task force met biweekly from March through May 2022, with optional agenda-free office hours/working sessions every other week.

Participants agreed to put in 1-2 hours before each biweekly meeting contributing to, reviewing and commenting in a shared document.

A big thanks to the co-chairs who provided scoping, guidance and planning and led much of the discussion. 

The Transformative Agreement Task Force (TATF) includes representatives from the Collections & E-Resources Committee and the Scholarly Communications Committee as well as at-large representatives that volunteered in response to an open call to the SCELC Member community in an effort to reflect the broad diversity of SCELC institutions.
