Beyond Implementation: Making Your Erms Work For You, Andrea Langhurst, Stacey Marien, Kari Schmidt
Beyond Implementation: Making Your Erms Work For You, Andrea Langhurst, Stacey Marien, Kari Schmidt
Charleston Library Conference
The University of Notre Dame started building CORAL (http://erm.library.nd.edu/), a modularized open source ERM, over two years ago. Implementation caused workflow changes, including deeper information sharing with stakeholders, enhanced record-keeping and increased efforts and options for institutional knowledge storage. Likewise, American University, after learning about CORAL’s workflow utilities, implemented the Resources module to solve ongoing and emerging workflow issues when responsibility for some e-book ordering shifted from the ERM unit to the Acquisitions unit. Learn how ERM practices were enhanced and expanded at the two Libraries through the use of this flexible system.

Wasted Words? Current Trends In Collection Development Policies/Guidelines, Maureen James, Donna K. Rose, Carol I. Macheak, John R. Warrick, Audrey Powers, Matt Torrence, Megan Sheffield
Charleston Library Conference
Are collection development policies viable today? In order to answer that question, librarians at the University of South Florida, Tampa Library sent out a survey to all academic ARL Libraries to obtain a holistic picture of academic collection development policies, how they are changing due to the abundance of electronic resources and new methods of data-driven acquisition. The transition to electronic resources and the changing role of the collection development librarian are having a tremendous impact on the manner by which libraries select and acquire new materials. The goal of this research project further elucidates the current trends of collection …
Measuring And Applying Data About Users In The Seton Hall Library, Rachel E. Volentine, Lisa M. Rose-Wiles, Carol Tenopir
Measuring And Applying Data About Users In The Seton Hall Library, Rachel E. Volentine, Lisa M. Rose-Wiles, Carol Tenopir
Charleston Library Conference
We present data on how faculty and students at Seton Hall University use scholarly articles and books, how the library can present its findings to stakeholders, and how librarians can learn from these findings to better meet user needs. The data were gathered using questionnaire surveys of university faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students as part of the IMLS Lib-Value project and based on Tenopir and King Studies conducted since 1977. Many questions used the critical incident of the last article and book reading to enable analysis of the characteristics of readings, in addition to characteristics of readers. Seton Hall’s …

Charleston Library Conference
This paper supplements the panel, which was delivered in a “Lively Lunch” format and included presentations by librarians who have employed EBSCO’s Discovery System (EDS) in their academic institutions. The panelists addressed several important aspects of launching a discovery system in an academic library, such as Implementation; Information Literacy; and Assessment, Usability and Customization. The implementation component included technical aspects, business requirements, enhancing the operability of link resolvers, launch preparation, and implementation success. The information literacy portion addressed how academic reference services and library instruction have been transformed because of EDS. Assessment, Usability and Customization focused on customizing the search …
Positive Feedback: Using Interlibrary Loan Transaction Log Data To Inform Collection Development, Teresa Negrucci, Forrest Link
Positive Feedback: Using Interlibrary Loan Transaction Log Data To Inform Collection Development, Teresa Negrucci, Forrest Link
Charleston Library Conference
The Associate Librarian for Access Services and Collection Management at Brown University Library requested an analysis of user and bibliographic data for faculty requests in the BorrowDirect and ILLiad systems to provide some insight on possible gaps in the library’s monographic collection from the faculty perspective. They processed and analyzed the data from both of these systems to determine these gaps and find a way to fix them. This paper explains their steps and provides a brief look at the positive feedback on their approach, all of which helped them to achieve a more successful process of collection development and …
Positively Perplexing E-Books: Digital Natives’ Perceptions Of Electronic Information Resources, Tara T. Cataldo, Amy G. Buhler
Positively Perplexing E-Books: Digital Natives’ Perceptions Of Electronic Information Resources, Tara T. Cataldo, Amy G. Buhler
Charleston Library Conference
Anecdotal evidence from user surveys and the experiences of information professionals portray a picture that today’s students (i.e., “digital natives”) do not differentiate between the variety of information resources online. The issue of container only becomes problematic to these students when they have to produce a scholarly work and cite their information sources. Then the question becomes, “What is it?” This paper will present preliminary data from a survey of university students on how they recognize and label electronic information resources. The authors will explore such questions as: Do users recognize an e-book as a book? If not, how do …
Everything That’S Wrong With E-Book Statistics: A Comparison Of E-Book Packages, Karin Byström
Everything That’S Wrong With E-Book Statistics: A Comparison Of E-Book Packages, Karin Byström
Charleston Library Conference
This poster presentation highlights the problems that exist in defining “a download” for e-books. Even though there is a COUNTER code of practice, a download can still be defined as either a page, chapter or title use. Many e-book publishers don’t follow COUNTER at all, and then the differences are even bigger. Libraries face many problems because of this, and this poster aims to raise awareness on the problems concerning analyzing e-book usage statistics.

Striving For Uniqueness: Data-Driven Database Deselection, Jeremy M. Brown, Geoffrey P. Timms
Charleston Library Conference
As libraries endure an ongoing crisis of available funds to meet inflating electronic content costs, the idea to dispatch the perceived least important e-resources to help balance the budget is a tempting solution. Mercer University Libraries recognizes the challenge of finding areas in which to cut back on its resources. They closely examine their subscriptions to prioritize their patrons’ needs, maintain budgetary equilibrium, and remain true to their goals. The Library Systems Department has worked to develop their own tool to assist decision makers with pertinent information about the uniqueness of both their full text and index databases and packages, …
The Truth Is Out: How Students Really Search, Beth S. Bloom, Marta Deyrup
The Truth Is Out: How Students Really Search, Beth S. Bloom, Marta Deyrup
Charleston Library Conference
The transition to electronic resources and the evolution of digital technologies has provided the public with the ability to conduct research without physically stepping into a library. This has led to the development of research habits using Internet search engines, mainly Google, which follow students to college. This presentation discusses the results of a two-year study of students’ online research behaviors which show that many students are comfortable with their current research habits and have little motivation to adopt new ones. Five examples of student research behaviors from the study are included to portray the burgeoning problem and provoke interest …
Collaborating To Analyze E-Journal Use Data: A Discussion Of Cross-Institutional Cost-Per-Use Analysis Projects Within The Unc System, Virginia Bacon, Patrick L. Carr
Collaborating To Analyze E-Journal Use Data: A Discussion Of Cross-Institutional Cost-Per-Use Analysis Projects Within The Unc System, Virginia Bacon, Patrick L. Carr
Charleston Library Conference
This presentation discusses two projects within the University of North Carolina (UNC) system in which the system libraries collaborated to share data to make cross-institutional analyses of expenditures, use, and cost-per-use (CPU). The first project was initiated in 2011 and involved the analysis of e-resources at four UNC libraries. The second project was a UNC system-wide project that occurred in May 2012 and involved comparisons of expenditure and use data for e-journal subscriptions across the system.
Automating Record Loading—An Implementation Story, Maribeth Manoff, Jim Shetler, Deb Thomas
Automating Record Loading—An Implementation Story, Maribeth Manoff, Jim Shetler, Deb Thomas
Charleston Library Conference
If loading record files is consuming more and more of your library’s time and effort, learn from our experience in automating record loading at the University of Tennessee. Like most libraries, the University of Tennessee Libraries (UTL) has loaded files of order and bibliographic (bib) records into our Integrated Library System (ILS) for years. In 2012, we automated this process by writing loaders that look for these record files and load them into our Ex Libris Aleph ILS without staff intervention. We began the project with Yankee Book Peddler (YBP), one of our major vendors, and the result has been …
Exploring Concepts Of “Collection” In The Digital World, Angharad Roberts
Exploring Concepts Of “Collection” In The Digital World, Angharad Roberts
Charleston Library Conference
This paper describes an ongoing doctoral research project, supported by the British Library and titled “Conceptualising the library collection for the digital world: a case study of social enterprise.” Relatively little has been written about the conceptual ideas associated with collection in a library context. Based on interview and survey data collected from library and information practitioners, people working in social enterprises, faculty members, and policymakers, three interpretations of “collection” are suggested: “collection as thing”, “collection as access,” and “collection as process.” The paper proposes a revised collection development hierarchy which incorporates these three concepts, outlining the potential impact of …
Geek Out: Adding Coding Skills To Your Professional Repertoire, Bohyun Kim, Kathryn Harnish
Geek Out: Adding Coding Skills To Your Professional Repertoire, Bohyun Kim, Kathryn Harnish
Charleston Library Conference
Programming skills are crucial and often essential in making today's library systems and services more efficient and user-friendly. Librarians can use these tools to change the way information resources are currently served to make them more efficient by creating new library services. These skills, however, are often not included in LIS curricula, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. This paper offers some effective strategies to obtain coding skills, covers several common mistakes and obstacles that librarians make and encounter while trying to learn how to program in the library environment, and offers helpful tips and resources. …
Using Technology To Facilitate Technical Services Workflows, Kelli Getz, Jeanne M. Castro
Using Technology To Facilitate Technical Services Workflows, Kelli Getz, Jeanne M. Castro
Charleston Library Conference
Managing workflows in a complex and evolving environment is a challenge for technical services librarians. By taking advantage of technology, technical services librarians at the University of Houston Libraries currently develop and revise workflows using tools such as Google Docs, Microsoft Outlook Tasks, and Drupal-based forms. By embracing technology and harnessing the power of these tools, the UH librarians are able to successfully pair effective communication with a high-level of transparency. The Assistant Head of Acquisitions and the Electronic Resources Coordinator will talk about their experiences in creating workflows using a variety of products, as well as share their analysis …
Freely Flowing: Openly Accessible Sources For Streaming Video, Deg Farrelly
Freely Flowing: Openly Accessible Sources For Streaming Video, Deg Farrelly
Charleston Library Conference
There is considerable disagreement within the academic and library spheres as to what can be done to make streaming content available. The process of providing streaming content is expensive, labor intensive, and time consuming. This process, however, doesn’t always require prolonged licensing negotiations, expenditure of precious materials budgets, or large investment of personnel time and effort to digitize, upload, and maintain content. There are many websites that provide quality videos that libraries and media centers can both access and provide access to with minimal effort. This paper offers a list of these legal, openly accessible resources, along with a brief …
