Comments: Council recommendation:
Fund as proposed through FY 2013 with the following caveats:

This work should provide access to documents that are not easily attainable; provide an important archive service for documents; and allow for inter-library loan requests to access hard to access scientific journal articles and other documents for individuals not associated with a university library. This work could be improved to meet the needs of Council, Bonneville and basin state and tribal agencies by:

- Serving as an access point for Council, ISRP, ISAB, Bonneville documents by having these be searchable and findable through the library’s search engine, thereby improving the visibility and accessibility of Columbia River Basin related publications, including Council and Bonneville documents, by enhancing the connection to web-based search engines.

- Modifying the public name of the library name to more properly reflect its content and services. The name StreamNet Library does not convey the broad spectrum of basin, and out of basin, documents it houses.

- Exploring the possibility of collaboratively publishing (digital) synthesis, strategies, and reports for the Fish and Wildlife Program and establishing these documents as a lower-grade ongoing-publication series of the Council/Bonneville. This could be accomplished by having these documents be peer reviewed by the ISRP, ISAB, or selected reviewers.
