Gathering The Needles Evaluating The Impact Of Gold Open Access Content With Traditional Subscription Journals, Jill Emery, Alison Bobal

Jill Emery

Investigating the use of gold open access content within subscription content has been a near impossible task until the adoption of the COUNTER 4 statistics in 2014. By reviewing the COUNTER JR1 GOA 2014 reports, two librarians evaluate the gold open access usage at their respective institutions from the following publishers: Elsevier, NPG, Sage, Springer, and Wiley. This initial investigation will be a benchmark for future studies to see if there is any impact on subscribed content or if usage is limited to non-subscribed content from these providers. Attendees will become familiar with the JR1 GOA reports from COUNTER as …

What Goes Around Comes Around: Calibrating The Academic Research Life Cycle To The Oa Life Cycle, Jill Emery, Graham Stone

Jill Emery

This presentation will outline the key components of the academic research life cycle and how libraries can align their services to best serve academic authors. By walking through each component of the academic research life cycle, we will outline the services libraries currently have available or can develop to best coordinate with the activities undertaken by the research community. This talk will also explore the development work occurring above the campus level to indicate the most useful standards and services available beyond the campus environment. In addition, the presenters will also explore the need to develop further life cycles for …

Shared Print In The Orbis Cascade Alliance, Jill Emery, Xan Arch, Jim Bunnelle

Jill Emery

Shared Print programs are one of the most important collaborative activities being pursued by many regional library groups. The Orbis Cascade Alliance (Oregon, Washington, and Idaho) and Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (Colorado and Wyoming) each have multi-state regional programs which demonstrate unique characteristics and features. In the Orbis Cascade Alliance, librarians are having to re-visit historic shared purchases. They will explore one such project and examine steps taken to reconcile current institutional needs with past collection-building priorities.

Learning To Give A Hoot: Open Access Workflows For Academic Librarians (Oawal), Jill Emery

Jill Emery

Graham Stone and Jill Emery have been working to try to develop an outline of some of the best practices for managing open access workflow management in academic libraries. In March 2014, we went live with OAWAL (pronounced owl): a crowdsourced blog/wiki to develop some of these practices and learn what innovators and experts in the field of scholarly communications and open access management have been doing. Our project is international in scope and relies heavily on countries such as the UK where country mandates are driving the development of workflows and management tools. This presentation will focus on recent …

Report On Libraries And Mobile Technologies In The Age Of The Visible College By Bryan Alexander, Mary Ellen Kenreich

Mary Ellen Kenreich

How is the mobile revolution transforming libraries? What will library services and librarians look like in the age of a ubiquitously networked civilization? We begin by surveying what changes have already hit: an expanded device universe,

the e-book renaissance, the growth of new media

ecosystems, nearly-always-on user access, and the

initial switch from 'library as place' to 'place as library'.

Next we assess how mobility has impacted academia,

from teaching to research and student life. Then we

explore scenarios of the future, based on an analysis of

current trends. Scenarios include: Post-Residential

Academe; Open World; Silo World; Alt.Residential.

The Seventy Percent Solution: Assessing Criteria For Model Fund Allocations, Mary Ellen Kenreich, Claudia Weston, Sarah Beasley, Cyril Oberlander, Don Frank

Mary Ellen Kenreich

Conference report presented at the NASIG 18th annual conference held in 2003. Portland State University Library's fund allocation committee presented information and practical advice on the process of developing a model to reallocate funding for library materials. After experimenting with funding ratios, they decided to use their model to reallocate 30 percent of the funds earmarked for discipline-specific materials while protecting 70 percent of each discipline's original allocation.
