“87% Missing”: Preserving Video Game History In A Canadian Copyright Context, Amelia Clarkson, Magnus Berg
Digital Initiatives Symposium
In 2020, the University of Toronto Mississauga campus library acquired the largest collection of video games in Canada from prolific collector Syd Bolton, whose vision was for it to not only be preserved but also playable and publicly accessible. Over the past three years, the collections team has been processing the collection to facilitate access onsite, and in 2024 aims to begin the next step of digitally preserving the collection. In the summer of 2023, the Video Game History Foundation and the Software Preservation Network co-authored a report on the dire state of availability of classic games, with the goal …

Looking Through The Prism: Changing From Collection Development To Collection Strategy, Catherine Seago
Looking Through The Prism: Changing From Collection Development To Collection Strategy, Catherine Seago
OVGTSL 2023: Ongoing Challenges, Creative Solutions
The University of Kentucky has long seen itself as the flagship University of the state and its Libraries have a collection development policy geared toward just in case collections and trying to be comprehensive in a world deluged with information and data. With all the changes in terms of moving instruction more online, budget challenges, and collecting more perspectives and viewpoints (DEI), the University of Kentucky is shifting towards a model of collection strategy based on core values and the mission of the Libraries and Institution. This shift affects how Acquisitions manages the budget and handles requests from users and …

Training Buffet: Self-Service Acquisitions Training For Librarians And Staff, Cara Calabrese, Ginny Boehme
OVGTSL 2023: Ongoing Challenges, Creative Solutions
While acquisitions workflows and tools have updated over the years, our training methods have seemingly not evolved with the same speed. At ALA Annual there were a few conversations about teaching and training new acquisitions staff. Many emphasized that learning on the job was one of the best tools, and many of our colleagues have had success with implementing asynchronous instructional materials. For example, after a colleague was able to develop a copyright course, she was then able to turn her attention to other pressing tasks. Why can't we do the same for acquisitions?
In 2022, Acquisitions partnered with Instruction …

Forgoing The "Rule Of Five" : Fair Use Analysis In Interlibrary Loan And Collection Development, Linda Sizemore, Ashley Cole
OVGTSL 2023: Ongoing Challenges, Creative Solutions
Are you being bogged down by copyright? Are you getting all the access you deserve? Eastern Kentucky University Libraries recently developed and implemented a new copyright policy for interlibrary loan that forgoes the outdated CONTU Guidelines or "Rule of Five" to more closely comply with Copyright Law and leverage Fair Use.
In this session, the presenters will discuss the inspiration behind abandoning CONTU, the process for obtaining approval from library and university stakeholders, and the impact of a new copyright policy on interlibrary loan workflows and collection development decisions. Participants will also engage in a discussion of the opportunities and …

Patron Driven Dei Acquisitions: Using Education Students And The Diverse Book Finder To Diversify A Children's Picture Book Collection, Mitchell Scott
OVGTSL 2023: Ongoing Challenges, Creative Solutions
In Fall 2022, the IU Southeast Library won an institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion grant to conduct research on a patron driven acquisitions project carried out in a 300-level education course for preservice learning teachers. Leveraging the grant funds and the objectives of the 300-level course, we embedded an acquisition project into the course that used the Diverse Book Finder (DBF) as a teaching and selection tool. 29 students enrolled in the course were tasked with using the Diverse Book Finder to select 5 picture books that would be purchased and added to the library collection. This session will cover …

Print Government Documents: Working Together To Eliminate Your Print Documents (With Empathy), Claudene Sproles, Tyler Goldberg
OVGTSL 2023: Ongoing Challenges, Creative Solutions
Ekstrom Library collected print government documents for decades as a selective depository. We will discuss our process for weeding hundreds of print documents collection from the collection. What are the reasons for weeding? Where can you find digital copies? What is the process for exchanging documents, and how many are really being requested by other depository libraries? What is the current state of depository rules and procedures?

OVGTSL 2023: Ongoing Challenges, Creative Solutions
Have you seen the Power Automate icon in Microsoft 365 and wondered what that does? Or maybe you've heard about this thing called Flow but not sure what the big deal is? Would you like to up your acquisitions game, but not sure where to start? We'll kick off this session with Microsoft Power Automate and Flow basics such as naming conventions, expressions and variables. Then move on to the fun stuff, demonstrating how you can streamline your acquisitions processes through Microsoft Power Automate by harnessing the power of automating emails, populating SharePoint spreadsheets from a form, and how to …
Collection Management For Beginners: What I Did Not Learn In Library School, Melissa Brooks
Collection Management For Beginners: What I Did Not Learn In Library School, Melissa Brooks
OVGTSL 2023: Ongoing Challenges, Creative Solutions
It's true that library school provides a valuable foundation to prepare one for work experience; however, certain lessons can only be learned on the job - often at the most inopportune moments. This presentation will explore collection management lessons learned - at rapid speed - following the retirement of the Collection Management Librarian after 35 years at the University of Southern Mississippi. Topics covered include negotiating licensing agreements, working with procurement and legal, managing budgets and identifying budget savings, and working with university departments, library liaisons, and vendors to get the job done.

Bridging Collection Development And Cataloging, Beth Morgan, Crystal Ellis
OVGTSL 2023: Ongoing Challenges, Creative Solutions
Crystal Ellis, Assistant Director of Library Services and Head of User and Access Services, and Beth Morgan, Cataloging Librarian, will discuss the importance of cross-departmental collaboration and communication to the success and efficiency of their acquisitions, cataloging, and collections maintenance workflows. Crystal and Beth will share and explain workflows they have developed that streamline their from-ordered-to-shelf processes and keep all affiliated staff aware of issues or idiosyncrasies in the areas of ordering, cataloging, and weeding; provide an overview of the micro training they implemented to bring non-cataloging staff up to speed on understanding and interpreting bibliographic data as presented in …
Mdc Digital Commons - Building A Student-Centered Archive, Luis Berthin
Mdc Digital Commons - Building A Student-Centered Archive, Luis Berthin
Archives Day
Miami Dade College’s Digital Commons aims to be the embodiment of a student-first digital archival repository. Archives don’t tend to live at the forefront of student minds, but with the Digital Commons, we aim to include students in the archival process and give them a sense of agency and ownership in the project. The Digital Commons will exist as a database that students use for research, as well as support and help to continue growing as part of their scholastic careers.
The Digital Commons will be an open-access platform that collects, preserves, and makes accessible student undergraduate research and creative …

Bookshelves Full? How To Rehome, Repurpose, And Recycle Print Books., Karen Bronshteyn, Cassandra Konz
Sustainability Conference
Storing and moving books that you don't have plans to use again can be a burden. But what is a responsible way to unburden yourself? We will discuss how to donate books for charitable initiatives, online book/textbook swaps, proper recycling techniques, and a few easy crafts using books. Lastly, we will discuss a few steps that libraries and universities are taking to address sustainability.
Digitizing The Utah Code Annotated, Valeri Craigle
Digitizing The Utah Code Annotated, Valeri Craigle
Sandbox Series
When Utah’s three law libraries closed their doors in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic, legal practitioners, researchers, and self-represented litigants lost access to the superseded Utah Code Annotated (UCA), which existed only in print form at these three libraries. Access to the UCA was restored in early 2021 through an LSTA grant-funded project that digitized UCA volumes and pocket parts from 1943-1995 and disseminated these materials via an open access Digital Commons collection.
Moving Beyond World Music: An Exploration Of Non-Western Music Cataloging Practices In Higher Education And Where To Go From Here, Alastair L. Canavan
Moving Beyond World Music: An Exploration Of Non-Western Music Cataloging Practices In Higher Education And Where To Go From Here, Alastair L. Canavan
New Librarianship Symposia Series: Fall 2021
The term “world music” has been used for decades as a catchall genre to describe any form of music outside of Western classical. As a byproduct of the eurocentrism pervasive throughout academia, its use furthers a bubble that others or ignores Non-Western cultures and their music. By examining the public-facing catalogs of 13 university libraries across 10 different countries to determine to what extent Non-Western music is included in their collections, how it is cataloged, and if the term “world music” is used to do so, the specific cataloging practices and norms that perpetuate a bias toward Western classical music …

Mapping Renewal: How An Unexpected Interdisciplinary Collaboration Transformed A Digital Humanities Project, Elise Tanner, Geoffrey Joseph
Digital Initiatives Symposium
Funded by a National Endowment for Humanities (NEH) Humanities Collections and Reference Resources Foundations Grant, the UA Little Rock Center for Arkansas History and Culture’s “Mapping Renewal” pilot project focused on creating access to and providing spatial context to archival materials related to racial segregation and urban renewal in the city of Little Rock, Arkansas, from 1954-1989. An unplanned interdisciplinary collaboration with the UA Little Rock Arkansas Economic Development Institute (AEDI) has proven to be an invaluable partnership.

Featured Speaker: Facilitating Oa Transformation Through Publisher Engagement: The Uc Experience, Ivy Anderson
Featured Speaker: Facilitating Oa Transformation Through Publisher Engagement: The Uc Experience, Ivy Anderson
Digital Initiatives Symposium
Libraries across the globe have been pursuing open access for decades, but until recently, progress has continued to be painfully slow. Transformative open access agreements with publishers have begun to change this, as institutions in Europe and increasingly in the US as well are now negotiating open access agreements with major publishers. By transitioning major journal license expenditures from ‘read access’ to support open access publishing, we can begin to achieve open access at scale, supporting our authors in all of the journals in which they choose to publish. This talk will discuss UC’s experience in negotiating transformative open access …

Southern Chapter/Medical Library Association Annual Conference
OBJECTIVE: To determine faculty and researcher journal usage levels and their implications on library’s journal collection and access models for the past five years and compare to previous usage and implications.
1. The librarians would like to investigate changes made in the journal collection as we moved to fewer print based resources through a comparison of usage levels prior to the changes to usage levels after the changes. We had sought to seek optimum pathways for supporting the school’s curricula, research agendas, and health care enterprise. Our ultimate question is ‘How have changes correlated and compared to previous usage and …

Reimagining A To Z Database Descriptions To Improve User Experiences: A Database Description Project, Lauren Fletcher, Sarah Adcock
Reimagining A To Z Database Descriptions To Improve User Experiences: A Database Description Project, Lauren Fletcher, Sarah Adcock
Southern Chapter/Medical Library Association Annual Conference
Objective: This poster examines how a Research and Instruction Librarian team at Rowland Medical Library updated and re-envisioned the library’s A to Z Database list. Methods: Two librarians worked to reimagine the format of the database descriptions provided on the A-Z Database page to include the relevant information users routinely requested. To this end, the librarians determined that each description should include alternative names, subjects, content categories, date range, icons, and vendor information. The reimagined descriptions removed extraneous vendor content that confused users and focused on information users could use to make quick determinations on which databases were best for …

Converting A Small Online Catalog - Improving Service And Satisfaction, Marilyn Teolis, Priscilla Stephenson, Andrew Brown, Ada Echols
Southern Chapter/Medical Library Association Annual Conference
Converting the online catalog to a cloud-based system. The library’s software-based catalog experienced technical issues whenever the hospital’s Information Technology department performed updates, and remote access to the system was not available. The authors describe the process of successfully converting the online catalog to a cloud-based system with remote access. It was critical for the library staff to preserve data from the former system. The initial step was to download the statistics from the former system to preserve them for future use. While the library staff weeded both the collection and the online records, they checked to ensure the existing …

Leading From Below: Influencing Vendors And Collection Budget Decisions As A Subject Liaison, Min Tong, Cynthia Cronin-Kardon, Steven M. Cramer
Leading From Below: Influencing Vendors And Collection Budget Decisions As A Subject Liaison, Min Tong, Cynthia Cronin-Kardon, Steven M. Cramer
Charleston Library Conference
Subject liaisons are responsible to their facility and students for subject-specific research tools funded by the library, but most subject liaisons don’t make the final decisions on subscriptions and other big-ticket items. How can we make effective recommendations to the decision makers? And how can we influence vendors about product development, pricing, and licensing issues as subject specialists but not budget controllers? In this lively discussion, the authors facilitated discussions of these questions with a group of librarians and vendors. After presenting one common model of a budget decision making process involving liaisons, budget decision makers, and vendors, we discussed …
