What Is Keeping You Up At Night? A Discussion Of Current Hot Topics In Collection Development, Susanne Clement Jul 2013

What Is Keeping You Up At Night? A Discussion Of Current Hot Topics In Collection Development, Susanne Clement

Charleston Library Conference

In this interactive lunch discussion, participants discussed the top issues in collection development that kept them up at night. Unlike the collection development issues included in the ARL “Issue Brief: 21st-Century Collections,” released in May 2012, these participants talked about very local and immediate issues as compared to the strategic issues listed in the ARL document. The collection development issues that were discussed can be grouped into several broad categories: budget, discovery tools, collection management, and media collections.

A Real Challenge: Incorporating Patron-Driven Acquisitions Programs Into Collection Development Strategies And Budgets, Steven Carrico, Trey Shelton

Charleston Library Conference

Many academic libraries are struggling to revise collection policies and develop improved methods of allocating budgets that integrate Patron or Demand-Driven Acquisitions plans. Two Acquisitions Librarians from the University of Florida will discuss how academic libraries are meeting this challenge and describe how their library has modified collection management policies and approval profiles, and reallocated material budgets to incorporate their ongoing PDA programs.


You Call That Perpetual? Issues In Perpetual Access, Chris Bulock Jul 2013

You Call That Perpetual? Issues In Perpetual Access, Chris Bulock

Charleston Library Conference

Ensuring perpetual access to electronic resources is a difficult and multifaceted process. Many issues stand in the way of seamless ongoing access and challenge traditional definitions of “perpetual.” License agreements are often vague on the issue. Librarians and vendors often fail to properly track the content to which an institution is entitled after a contract has lapsed. New e-book editions complicate access to previous editions. Multimedia resources may rely on quickly outdated software, so that they become unusable even if the content still has value. These challenges, as well as strategies for working through them, are discussed in relation to …

Collection Development And Acquisitions Policies And Procedures: Do They Meet The Needs Of Today’S Academic Library Environment?, Jeff Bailey, Linda Creibaum

Charleston Library Conference

With recent vast changes in formats, purchase/subscription options, and funding sources, many librarians are wondering if their existing policies, procedures, and processes are meeting their library’s needs in the current environment.

The presenters hope to create a survey of current practices in library collection development in order to aid librarians seeking different/improved means of doing these duties. Bailey and Creibaum began by providing information on past and present collection development methods of the Dean B. Ellis Library of Arkansas State University, including a brief overview of their allocation formula which is used to determine distribution of funds to departments. Following …

E-Books For All: Working To Establish An E-Book Dda Program Within Usmai, Lynda Aldana, Joyce Tenney, David Swords

Charleston Library Conference

USMAI is interested in providing unified, cost-effective, and creative approaches to the sharing of information and knowledge resources across its 16 libraries at public universities and colleges in Maryland. One approach USMAI has taken to achieve this goal is working to provide their patrons with increased access to more e-book collections by investing more in e-book purchases. This presentation addresses this approach as it relates to the expansion of pre-existing independent demand driven acquisitions (DDA) programs to create a consortium which would include all 16 libraries within USMAI. The project would provide access to e-book collections across these libraries to …


National Union Catalog: Asset Or Albatross?, John P. Abbott, Allan G. Scherlen Jul 2013

National Union Catalog: Asset Or Albatross?, John P. Abbott, Allan G. Scherlen

Charleston Library Conference

Midsize academic libraries face many unique challenges, particularly in the greyer areas of collection management. This presentation addresses these challenges faced by libraries in midsize institutions and how they differ from those at larger research institutions. It focuses on the presenters’ study of midsize library attitudes toward retaining or weeding the iconic National Union Catalog, Pre-1956 Imprints and the reasoning behind each. The generations of librarians who used the NUC and other analog sets are passing from the scene in academic libraries, and the incoming digital native librarian knows little or nothing about them. The fate of the NUC is …

Using A Research Log And Reflective Writing To Improve Ebp And Information Literacy Skills Of Bsn Students, Suzanne E. Zentz, Kimberly J. Whalen

Library Faculty Presentations

Background Baccalaureate nursing educators must prepare nurses to implement evidence-based practice (EBP).

In a nursing research course, students conducted group projects which required searching for the best evidence. Project evaluations revealed that students were not searching systematically. To facilitate EBP and information literacy skill development, a collaboration between the College of Nursing and Library Services emerged.

Targeted Learning Outcomes 1. Formulate a strategic search using databases and Internet resources 2. Evaluate and select the ‘best available’ evidence 3. Document systematic search (keywords, subject headings, limiters, and …
