Towards Operations: Expansion of the Scholars Portal Journals Platform
Wednesday October 22, 2025
From 10:00am to 10:45am
As we near the completion of the transitional phase of the Scholars Portal Journals expansion, please join members of the Scholars Portal Journals Expansion Task Group (SP JETG) for an update on the progress made since work began in 2023. In particular, we will provide an update on technical development of the platform, an overview of the negotiations with publishers, describe the terms of reference prepared for the committee that will provide governance, and share the provisional budget for the first year of the operational phase set to begin at the start of fiscal year 2026-27. This information is shared in preparation for a vote during the business meeting in which members will decide on proceeding to the operational phase.
