Re: [CODE4LIB] Report of the Code4Lib Fiscal Continuity Interest Group

I think fiscal sponsorship by CLIR is definitely the sweet spot. It's pretty awesome CLIR is offering on those terms, really, and it's not entirely risk-free for them obviously. It's a real vote of confidence. Setting up your own 501-c-3 gives you LOTS of financial and legal obligations. Even

I don't have numbers and this is really just my guess impression, but I'd be shocked if there weren't a lot more libraries in Google Scholar than in LibX. It should be possible to get both numbers from publically available lists though. I think the google scholar search is a good one. The other

Re: [CODE4LIB] Fiscal Continuity IG report redux [silence has been deafening]

I still think the same thing I posted first time this was on the listserv. I think a fiscal sponsor is the sweet spot, if a suitable fiscal sponsor with suitable terms can be found. Incorporating ourself takes a lot of work and additional expense -- both setup and ongoing. It's a real commitment.

Honestly, from this discussion, I suspect we already have rough consensus, and expect the poll results to be: CLIR as a Fiscal Sponsor. I think there is pretty widespread, although not unanimous, support for that direction in this discussion. On Wed, Jul 26, 2017 at 12:16 PM, Jonathan Rochkind
