Matching Made In Heaven: Collections And Metadata Collaboration For Print Preservation, 2019 Western University
Matching Made In Heaven: Collections And Metadata Collaboration For Print Preservation, Erin Johnson, Alie Visser, Christina Zoricic
Western Libraries Presentations
Following the trend of re-purposing library space to meet modern user needs, Western University is undergoing a planned revitalization and renovation of its largest library on campus. As a result, 500,000 items will need to be shifted to other locations or off-site storage. In this session we will outline the impact of metadata work in shifting this large collection of material to a shared print preservation storage facility, in coordination with Western University’s Keep@Downsview partnership (https://downsviewkeep.org/). Keep@Downsview is a partnership of five universities to preserve the scholarly record in Ontario in a shared, high-density storage and preservation facility. …

“They Didn’T Teach This In Library School”: Identifying Core Knowledges For Beginning Acquisitions Librarians, 2019 University of Rochester
“They Didn’T Teach This In Library School”: Identifying Core Knowledges For Beginning Acquisitions Librarians, Lindsay Cronk, Rachel M. Fleming
Charleston Library Conference
Library workers new to acquisitions or taking on new acquisitions duties can find themselves lost without appropriate resources. We often hear the refrain “they didn’t teach this in library school.” Basic introductions to issues confronting acquisitions librarians can be hard to find and out-of-date. Meanwhile, emerging issues are addressed in journal literature, but few reviews of the issues are available to provide background to newcomers. While professional development opportunities strive to provide sure footing to acquisitions newcomers, we can often fall short, leaving our new colleagues feeling adrift.
Through a positive and structured discussion we will explore the existing and …
Decoding The Scholarly Resources Marketplace, 2019 University of Rochester
Decoding The Scholarly Resources Marketplace, Lindsay Cronk, Rachel M. Fleming
Charleston Library Conference
Developed with input from a variety of library workers and industry representatives, this session will provide a current and concise introduction to the scholarly resource marketplace for academic libraries, highlighting the financial and functional connections between major market actors providing services and content to libraries.
Discussions of vendor relations in libraries have often focused on the interpersonal collaboration of library workers and vendor representatives. In the process, they have overlooked or neglected the connections between publishers and vendors, their parent corporations and subsidiary companies.
Decoding requires a focus on vocabulary and building shared understanding of the marketplace for scholarly resources. …
Good Partners? Can Open Access Publishers And Librarians Find Meaningful Ways To Collaborate?, 2019 University of Pennsylvania
Good Partners? Can Open Access Publishers And Librarians Find Meaningful Ways To Collaborate?, Sarah L. Wipperman
Charleston Library Conference
What should the relationship be between the purely Open Access publishers and librarians? Yes, in theory, among publishers these are publishers who are fully aligned with libraries to end the stranglehold which the traditional subscription publishers have on libraries. Yes, they are 100% attribution-only (CC-BY) publishers living up to the goals of Open Access (as described in the Budapest Open Access Initiative [BOAI]). But, are they just replacing over-priced subscriptions with over-priced APCs (Article Processing Charges)?
Since they don't have renewal revenue at risk they may not pay sufficient attention to usage and integration with library systems [KBART?, COUNTER?, etc.]. …
Preparing Researchers For Publishing Success: The Case Of Auburn University, 2019 Auburn University Libraries
Preparing Researchers For Publishing Success: The Case Of Auburn University, George Stachokas
Charleston Library Conference
As part of a panel discussion organized by Dr. Gwen Taylor of Wiley, this paper reviews current efforts undertaken by Auburn University Libraries to support the research enterprise at Auburn University, including preparing researchers for publishing access. Despite financial constraints, Auburn University endeavors to transition from a Carnegie Classification of R2 to R1, add 500 new faculty members by 2022, and increase research output in STEM disciplines, agriculture, allied health sciences, and cybersecurity. The Libraries are working to support all of these efforts through cost effective collection development, systematic improvements in assessment, catching up with aspirational peers by implementing best …
Transfer Turns Ten: The Future Of The Code, 2019 Miami University Libraries
Transfer Turns Ten: The Future Of The Code, Jennifer W. Bazeley, Gaëlle Béquet
Charleston Library Conference
Libraries, publishers, and intermediary vendors strive to disseminate the most current information to their patrons and clients through the metadata in their catalogs, services, and software. One significant pinch point in this landscape is the transfer of journals from one publisher to another. The Transfer Code of Practice was created to provide these stakeholders with guidelines to ensure that the transfer process occurs with minimal disruption and that journal content remains accessible to subscribers. The importance of these guidelines has grown since the creation of the Transfer Code in 2008, as the number of online titles, publishers, and intermediaries has …
Thirty Days And Counting: Conducting Effective Product Trials For Library Resources, 2019 Virginia Tech
Thirty Days And Counting: Conducting Effective Product Trials For Library Resources, Edward F. Lener, Tracy J. Gilmore
Charleston Library Conference
Product trials for evaluating potential new resources can be a challenge for any library. To be most effective, several key elements must be addressed including determining suitable trial dates, establishing and confirming access, creating appropriate links, publicizing product availability, collecting usage data, and gathering feedback from participants. If one or more of these steps is missed, it is all too easy for trial access to run out before much useful data is gathered. The University Libraries at Virginia Tech have developed a method for managing this process through a Trials Workflow team and the use of free, Web-based project management …
Buy, Subscribe, Or Borrow? Consumers’ Use Preferences For Information Products, 2019 University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Buy, Subscribe, Or Borrow? Consumers’ Use Preferences For Information Products, Xiaohua Zhu, Moonhee Cho
Charleston Library Conference
The information industry has been exploring business models for digital information products, but it was not until recent years that the new access model, especially subscription-based services, became popular. Thanks to the advancement of streaming technology, online advertisement, and DRM technology, information providers were able to design various pricing schemes and provide various services for users with different needs. Consumers seem to favor these services increasingly, but some questions remain: Is there a significant shift in users’ general preferences for all media content? Do they prefer any particular models under specific circumstances? What factors are related to users’ preferences? This …

Sudden Collections Coordinators: When You Don’T Know What You Don’T Know, Ariel F. Pomputius, Megan M. Daly, Trey Shelton, Patrick J. Reakes, Tara T. Cataldo
Charleston Library Conference
As new librarians enter the profession with varying levels of education and experience concerning library collection management, they may find themselves suddenly assigned the responsibility of coordinating collection activities within a subject area or for their entire library. From understanding terminology to working with acquisitions departments and from communicating with vendors to assessing resources, there is much to be learned in a short period of time. This paper will provide perspectives from five librarians at the George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida (UF): the senior associate dean responsible for collections, the chair of the Acquisitions & Collections …
Textbooks Are Expensive, But Oer Can Be Challenging: Providing E-Textbook Access Through The Library, 2019 Temple University
Textbooks Are Expensive, But Oer Can Be Challenging: Providing E-Textbook Access Through The Library, Brian W. Boling, Karen Kohn
Charleston Library Conference
Research has shown that textbook costs are rising. Open educational resources (OER), though increasingly popular, are not available for all courses and can be difficult to adopt, particularly for contingent faculty. In response to the textbook crisis and the limitations of OER, Temple University has sought alternative ways to provide textbook access to students. We have promoted OER through a grant program since 2011 and offer a website to expose assigned readings that the Libraries own in e-book format. In 2018, the Libraries also began purchasing e-textbooks. The campus bookstore sends a list of assigned books each semester. We review …
Libraries, Authors, And Literary Estates: The Complex Case Of Rosenbach V. Sendak (2016), 2019 North Carolina Central University
Libraries, Authors, And Literary Estates: The Complex Case Of Rosenbach V. Sendak (2016), Patrick Roughen
Charleston Library Conference
This research examines a lawsuit filed by the Rosenbach Museum and Library of Philadelphia in 2016 against the Estate of Maurice Sendak (1928–2012) to determine the distribution of some of Sendak’s collection of rare books. In the lawsuit, the Rosenbach claimed the executors of the Sendak estate had withheld a portion of the rare books to which it was entitled under Sendak’s will. This paper suggests possible ways in which institutions such as libraries, archives, and museums might anticipate and address some of the ownership-related problems that arise during the acquisition and/or loss of collections of an artist or author …

Shared Print Initiatives, Chris Palazzolo, Lars Meyer
Charleston Library Conference
This paper provides an overview of the history, issues, challenges, opportunities, and obligations associated with shared print programs. Many of the library operational activities associated with participating in a shared print program have precedents or shared concerns with other operational work around collection development, preservation, and staffing in general. Activities at Emory University serve as examples for participating in shared print programs.
From Acquisitions To Collection Development, 2019 University of Waterloo
From Acquisitions To Collection Development, Dave Gall
Charleston Library Conference
Over the last few years, the Collection Development Department at the University of Waterloo Library has been heavily engaged in revamping a number of long-established workflows in an effort to streamline processes to create greater efficiency, collaboration, and access to documents. Hoping to take greater advantage of the accessibility and versatility offered by working with documents in digital format, and reducing the number of avenues for requests to arrive in the department, members of the department looked for ways to employ technologies and software to make the work flow more smoothly. Where these options did not exist, they improvised and …
Doing The Math: Discovering Infinity Transitioning Monograph Standing Orders From Print To Online And Deriving A Variable Formula For Success, 2019 University of British Columbia
Doing The Math: Discovering Infinity Transitioning Monograph Standing Orders From Print To Online And Deriving A Variable Formula For Success, Kat Mcgrath, Mayu Ishida
Charleston Library Conference
In 2016, University of British Columbia Science Library liaisons met with the Math faculty to consider the value of switching their beloved print monograph series to online format. Arguments of greater discoverability, findability, and access won the faculty members, and they voted in acceptance of the change. In retrospect, persuading the Math faculty of the value in switching from print to online format was an easy win. The tough part came in transforming this pledge to reality. We describe the factors making this transformation difficult, the options of purchasing the monographic series as e-books (available to us as of 2018), …
