Not Your Mother’S Pda: The Transition From Pda Pilot To Full Acquisitions Integration, Harriet Rykse, Bruce Fyfe, Nicole Nolan, Nazi Torabi, Erin Gallagher, Yves Vanier

Nazi Torabi

Western Libraries, an academic library with an FTE of 34,000, and Ingram Coutts, have worked together to implement an e-preferred Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA) program at Western Libraries. This implementation has required collaboration between Coutts and Western Libraries collection librarians to develop effective profiles. These profiles allow the PDA collection to be filtered according to subject and non-subject parameters. There are several aspects of this project that make it unique. First, every e-book that is selected by a PDA-preferred profile will automatically be loaded into the catalogue for PDA. Patrons will trigger a purchase if the book is accessed twice. …

Implementing Oclc's Wms (Web-Scale Management Services) Circulation At Pepperdine University Powerpoint, Sally Bryant, Gan Ye

Sally Bryant

This presentation covers the reasons why Pepperdine University Libraries decided to move to the next-generation technology of WMS as our library system. WMS is an integrated library system hosted by OCLC that is “in the cloud.” Pepperdine was one of the first libraries to go live with WMS, and in this presentation we focus on implementation process, circulation, course reserves and holds. Although WMS is not a perfect system, we believe that libraries are poised to benefit from the next generation of library systems, such as WMS.

Presentation For Marshall University Institutional Repository Proposal, Jingping Zhang, Edward Aractingi, Gretchen Rae Beach, Nathaniel Debruin, Paula Kaplan, Thomas Walker

Gretchen Rae Beach

The purpose of this proposal is to identify the need for establishing an Institutional Repository at Marshall University to facilitate the collection, preservation, and dissemination of the intellectual output of the students, faculty, and administrative offices of the University. Institutional Repositories (IRs) provide a digital ‘storehouse’ for academic institutions to house a wide variety of scholarly material created by students, faculty, and administrators. They also provide a readily accessible depository for selected archival material, video and still images, current news and events, procedural and policy guidelines, and other information that benefits the university community and other users, including the public. …

Who Uses This Stuff, Anyway?, Andrew Wesolek

Andrew Wesolek

A great deal of the professional literature is devoted to developing content and faculty buy-in for institutional repositories. However, little is known about the end users of these repositories. This is unfortunate since great content is of little value if no one uses it and knowing more about users and their needs leads to more relevant content. So, we need to ask ourselves: "Who exactly is using this stuff, anyway?" Since 2010, Utah State University has begun surveying its IR users to answer this question. DigitalCommons@USU houses more than 26,000 documents with full-text downloads of over 800,000. With this much …

Correcting Accidentals: Using An Availability Study To Identify And Resolve The "Suspensions" Impeding Access To Electronic Resources, Sanjeet Mann

Sanjeet Mann

This is the online, archived version of a poster I presented at the 27th Annual NASIG Conference in Nashville, TN on June 9, 2012. Availability studies are a time-honored method of diagnosing problems with library systems and services that have recently been applied to electronic resources management. This poster reports the results of an availability study conducted on electronic resource access during the 2011-2012 academic year at the University of Redlands in Southern California. The author used reference desk statistics to identify typical research topics in ten disciplines spanning the humanities, social sciences, and sciences, and used the topics to …
