Our agenda is set, though we welcome any additional announcements or topics for discussion:

— Discussion of the work being done on the Cost of Resource Exchange (CORE). The group working this standard has submitted the proposal to NISO and are waiting to hear back if it has been approved for further work under NISO sanction. Feedback on the draft is very welcome. — Ed Riding and Jeff Aipperspach
A brief draft description: “The purpose of this specification is to facilitate the exchange of cost and related financial information by an Electronic Resource Management System (ERMS) from an Integrated Library System (ILS) Acquisitions module. The population of ERMS financial data from the ILS Acquisitions system makes cost-per-click and other cost-related reports in the ERMS all the more
possible.”
