Grant Project: Digitizing Hidden Collections, Lenora Robinson, Abby Stambach, Lisa Villa

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

The Archives and Distinctive Collections at the College of the Holy Cross is almost half-way through a two-year CLIR "Digitizing Hidden Collections" grant project to digitize key components of the Deaf Catholic Archives (DCA). This collection of newsletters, scrapbooks, periodicals, conference material, publications, photographs, ephemera, books, and audiovisual recordings was donated to the College of the Holy Cross in 1990. Many diocesan and religious order archives did not keep records pertaining to their work with Deaf people, and so this unique collection provides insight into Deaf culture, and demonstrates how a subgroup, unable to fully participate and therefore marginalized, was …

Collection Development: It's For Everyone, Alice Pearman, Christin Wixson

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

Collection assessment is rising in importance in academic libraries. Identifying gaps in collections, determining which resources are no longer useful, and assessing for diversity, equity and inclusion are all topics of discussion at conferences and in the literature. But why wait to identify the gaps in our collections when we can prevent them now?
Collection development is a skill practiced by most academic subject librarians. However, with many institutions shrinking the number of librarians available to do collection development, not to mention our shrinking materials budgets, this task often doesn't get the attention it deserves.
We will also share how …

Lost In Translation: Faculty And Archivist Communication, Blake Spitz

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

What happens when a partnership with a faculty member seems like a success, only to reveal misunderstandings and difficult repercussions? This talk will discuss lessons learned from a complex collaboration between an archivist and a labor studies instructor to orient a class of graduate students to special collections and archival research. After several conversations, (with some miscommunications and surprises along the way!) a graduate student class on U.S. Labor History visited our Special Collections for an intense 2.5 hour deep-dive into our various labor collections. The archivist led all portions of the class, focusing on primary source analysis and specific …

The Game Of Library Tetris: Using A Shelf Address System, Judy Quist, Rachel Gogan

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

Having to constantly shift materials to make space while maintaining call number order can be challenging and time consuming, particularly when needing to move materials quickly. Most of the library literature around alternative shelving systems is focused on user experience and resource discoverability. A shelf address system makes it easier for library professionals to quickly organize and locate items, making it an ideal choice for a staff only area. Using a shelf based address system allows quick insertion of materials into any available shelf space without worrying about call number order, but it also comes with its own set of …

Worst Practices? Surviving The Pitfalls Of License Negotiation, Michael Rodriguez

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

Do you negotiate vendor license agreements? Are you interested in doing so? Do you work with someone who does? Attend this session to learn about the “worst practices” of license negotiation. You’ll hear first-hand from a lead university negotiator about the pitfalls and temptations of negotiation and how to elude them or recover when you fall into them. Based on true stories! Emphasis will be on license negotiations that fell short, delivered mixed results, or might have ended badly due to either the vendor or the librarian exhibiting risky, careless, or improper negotiation behavior. We will be constructive. We’ll flip …

The Burden Of Access: Patron Driven Acquisitions For Streaming Video On A Small Campus, Amanda Scull

ACRL New England Chapter Annual Conference

There is a great deal in the literature about the benefits of streaming video for faculty and students, and many articles tout the patron driven acquisitions (PDA) model which allows a large amount of content to be made available while ensuring that the library only pays for what is used. However, it is notable that a significant percentage of these articles and conference presentations have focused on large universities and systems that have substantial budgets and have leveraged streaming video as a way to enhance access to a sizeable patron base.

Three years ago we opened PDA for streaming video …
