Patron-Driven Acquisitions: Where do I start and how do I know when I’ve arrived?

April 12-13, 2011

Hosted by Angela M. Carreño and Nancy Gibbs

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!
Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, sessions begin and end at:

Pacific: 6am – 2pm
Mountain: 7am – 3pm
Central: 8am – 4pm
Eastern: 9am – 5pm

Description

The convergence of ebook availability, patron interest in e-books, new business models and the economic crisis has accelerated library adoption of Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA). This change has been facilitated by customized patron-driven acquisitions programs from some major library book distributors and aggregators. The adoption of PDA has also been facilitated by a shift in collection management philosophy away from “just-in-case” collecting to a “just-in-time” strategy for providing access to collections. How should libraries balance patron driven acquisitions with more strategic decisions to prepare their collection for the future?

Topics to be covered include:

*       Budgets and how to budget
*       Campus sharing of costs (specifically between separately administered libraries on a campus)
*       Profiles – are they different for different disciplines? Are certain LC classes totally excluded (art, music)? What happens to your approval plans?
*       Foreign or domestic plans
*       ILL PDA – in print or in e format
*       E Reserve PDA – will this meet the needs on a short term basis?
*       Reference Collection PDA – is this a possibility? Could it be a browsable, ever changing collection? If so what are the associated costs for collections budget and for staff time?
*       Dual formats and Bundled pricing – could there be deep discounted pricing for print accompanying e formats?
*       Vendors/providers – who is doing what? Do you go through vendors or direct to publishers, or both?
*       Implications for collections – does this mechanism skew the collection?
*       Marketing and promotion – if you promote it will you run through your budget even faster than thought? What happens if you don’t promote it?
*       Consortia applications – if you have rich consortia obligations for shared borrowing what happens when your collection is all electronic?
*       Mechanics – marc records, link resolvers, monitoring, statistics, pricing models, duplications, weeding; levels of use (single user, multiple user), purchase versus subscription

Nancy Gibbs is head of Acquisitions at Duke University Libraries, She has held previous positions at Penn State University Libraries, Auburn University, and at North Carolina State University Libraries. She is the past chair of the Acquisitions Section of ALCTS and the 2007 recipient of the ALCTS Leadership in Library Acquisitions Award. In 2008, she taught an Acquisitions Practices course to students in the United Arab Emirates at Al-Ain University and continues to speak about acquisitions practices, electronic books, and electronic resources at local, national and international conferences. She serves on advisory boards for a number of library vendors and is a consultant in the field of acquisitions, publishing and vendor relationships.

Angela M. Carreño is the Head of Collection Development for the Division of Libraries at New York University. Angela has led, coordinated and supported the expansive growth of licensed electronic resources at NYU since 2000. She is the primary licensing officer for the Division of Libraries and assumes primary responsibility for consortial collection development commitments. She represents the Libraries on collaborative projects with other campus units and other libraries. Since 2007 she has intensified work on the NYU electronic book collection in close collaboration with NYU’s branch campus library in Abu Dhabi, a library with an e-preferred collection policy. Angela is a member of the Springer Library Advisory Board; the Oxford Library Advisory Group and the Brill Library Advisory Group.

The role of metadata registries in managing large and complex metadata vocabularies will be addressed.

ALCTS E-forum: Open Access Initiatives in Scholarly Communications

February 11, 2011 at 3:55 pm · Filed under Uncategorized ·Tagged , , ,

via LIBREF-L

Open Access Initiatives in Scholarly Communications: Getting your University on Board

February 16-17, 2011

Hosted by Adrian Ho and Sarah Shreeves

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!
Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, sessions begin and end at:
Pacific: 7am – 3pm
Mountain: 8am – 4pm
Central: 9am – 5pm
Eastern: 10am – 6pm

Libraries have used various strategies to engage with faculty, students, and administrators around changes in the scholarly communication system. Open access (OA) has become a popular topic and different initiatives are built around it.  These include launching institutional repositories, creating OA publishing funds, working with faculty and administrators to institute OA policies, and developing new OA journals in collaboration with scholars and students.  How do these initiatives relate to libraries’ mission and future roles in higher education?  What strategies are used to implement these initiatives and how well have they worked?  This ALCTS e-Forum will explore both how and why libraries have chosen to invest resources to support OA initiatives.  It will also examine what strategies have been used and how successful they have been.  All are welcome to join us to review and discuss what has been accomplished in libraries’ OA endeavors.

Adrian Ho is Scholarly Communication Librarian at The University of Western Ontario.  With assistance of his colleagues, he networks with different constituents on campus to explore avenues to open up scholarly content for broader access.  Before landing in London, Ontario for his current job, Adrian worked in collection development and public services at different institutions in the U.S. and Canada.

Sarah Shreeves is currently the Coordinator for the Illinois Digital Environment for Access to Learning and Scholarship (IDEALS), a set of services and collections supporting scholarly communication (including the institutional repository) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She is also the Coordinator for the Scholarly Commons, a space for expert, interdisciplinary research support services and open workshops for faculty and graduate students to develop skills in areas such as digital content creation, e-learning and teaching, working with digital repositories, curation of research data, understanding copyright issues and author rights, and working with geospatial and numeric data.

*What is an e-forum?*

ALCTS webinar: Finding Savings in the Collection Budget

Date: January 19, 2011

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 2pm Eastern, 1pm Central, noon Mountain, and 11am Pacific Time.

Description: Faced with budget cuts, libraries have had to identify savings within their collections budget that meet administration’s needs while trying to avoid major detriment to the information needs of the community. Through content analysis, discovery of alternative access to resources, and a couple of tough decisions, we’ll explore ways to save a lot of money without causing (serious) controversy.

Audience: Budget managers, collection management/development librarians, library managers, serials and acquisitions librarians.

Presenter: Jane Schmidt is the Head of the Collection Services Team at Ryerson University Library. She graduated from University of Alberta and started out at Ryerson working with serials holdings data as an intern through the Young Canada Works program, despite the fact that she declared that she would never work with serials after doing an inventory for Dalhousie’s Sexton Library during her first year at library school. In addition to her work in Collections and Acquisitions, she is also a business liaison librarian specializing in Marketing and Global Studies. She is passionate about weeding and efficiency, doesn’t tend to “sweat the small stuff”.
