Managing The Changing Climate Of Business Collections, Katharine V. Macy, Heather A. Howard, Alyson S. Vaaler

Charleston Library Conference

Librarians that support business programs are weathering competing priorities in business collection management. When making decisions to cut and add new databases, we must assess the value of a given resource by considering a variety of quantitative metrics such as usage, cost per use, cost per citation, and pricing history. In addition, qualitative criteria are increasingly important when making decisions. These criteria include, but are not limited to, content coverage, accessibility, and whether a resource can be provided in a way that supports the principles of critical librarianship. This Lively Lunch discussion provided three brief presentations, which discussed (1) how …

Streaming Video Pda: Brace Yourself, Usage Is Coming, Marianne Foley

Charleston Library Conference

Low usage statistics for library resources are a big concern for the librarians at the State University of New York (SUNY) Buffalo State, so we were unprepared for the popularity of a new streaming video patron-driven acquisitions (PDA) program. Though it was slow to take off, when it did, usage increased suddenly and dramatically. After depleting the initial budget for the resource, we allocated more funds and then quickly depleted those additional funds. At that point, we changed to a mediated model to help control the costs, but that greatly increased work for our Acquisitions Department and raised collection development …

Destroyer And Preserver, Hear, Oh Hear! Not All Uncirculated Books Must Chariotest To A Dark Wintry Bed: How We Used The Oclc Worldcat Search Api To Inform Our Weeding Decisions With Holdings Data, Geoffrey P. Timms

Charleston Library Conference

Weeding a specialized collection, such as the geography/oceanography subset of the marine science collection at the Marine Resources Library, requires thinking beyond our own walls and users. To ensure potential access to weeded items through other libraries, as well as the preservation of items unique to our own collection, we sought an efficient and free means to incorporate national holdings data into our decision-making process. The OCLC WorldCat Search API enables bibliographic data, as well as holdings from other libraries, to be obtained easily. With a Python script we obtained holdings data for most of our several thousand oceanography items, …

African American Studies Collections And The American Season Of Redemption, Courtney Becks

Charleston Library Conference

In a Journal of Academic Librarianship article that appeared in 2000, Susan A. Vega García writes about the “dearth of empirical research that has examined multicultural diversity in terms of actual collecting patterns of academic and research libraries [...].” (Vega García, 2000) This article, nearly 20 years old, is one of the few that actually address the topic of African American Studies collections specifically in the LIS literature. Though there is, in fact, a literature of “diversity” in library collections, it lumps together an array of groups whose only commonality is having been labelled Other in the U.S. This lumping …

Cost Per Use As An Electronic Resources Evaluation Parameter: Can You Use It Under Extraordinary Circumstances?, Luis Joel Crespo

Charleston Library Conference

In 2017, the University of Puerto Rico (UPR) suffered two extraordinary events that substantially affected library services. From March through June 2017 the university was closed due to a student strike that affected daily activities and academic services. In September of the same year, our country was hit by the most powerful hurricane ever recorded in its history, which left the whole island without power and communications infrastructure for many months. In both scenarios, access to electronic resources was seriously affected.

Usage reports are important for, among other things, evidencing the use of electronic resources in a certain collection, justifying …

Library Space Transformed, Jared L. Howland, Rebecca Schroeder

Charleston Library Conference

Beginning in the fall of 2017, the Harold B. Lee Library at Brigham Young University undertook a project to assess our science collections due to a planned expansion of our library information technology department. Our teams evaluated 18,578 shelves of content and decided to either (1) keep an item on the shelf, (2) or move it to on-site auxiliary storage, or (3) withdraw it. They worked with fellow subject librarians and faculty around campus to communicate about the work being done and offer opportunities to review the potential withdraw material before it left the building.

Dda: Are We Meeting Collection Goals Or Vendor Sales Targets?, Debbi A. Smith

Charleston Library Conference

Adelphi University Libraries started an e-book demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) program with Ebrary in January 2014. After one short-term loan a second use triggered a purchase. This trigger was determined by an analysis of how e-books were used in the subscription component of Ebrary, Academic Complete. Titles were added to the pool according to our slip plan profile with YBP. Librarians could also manually add e-book titles to the DDA pool.

To see if our trigger point should be adjusted for our current DDA with ProQuest Ebook Central, statistics were harvested from the Ebrary administrative portal for January 2014 through January …

Understanding And Measuring E-Book Packages: Print Purchasing Patterns And Book Usage, Weijing Yuan, Eva Jurczyk

Charleston Library Conference

When libraries make the decision to transition from print to electronic books, it is often a zero-sum game; if the library is to license the electronic version of a title, it tends not to buy it in print. This study examines print purchase and usage patterns after a large e-book acquisition by the University of Toronto Libraries, when subject selectors had the option to continue to purchase the titles in print. Data on print purchasing patterns, print title circulation, and electronic book use was examined both at the aggregate and the subject level. The study adds evidence to the growing …
