This document discusses the changing landscape of academic libraries and their role in stewardship of the scholarly record. It notes that collections are becoming more fragmented as they shift from local to group-scale management, and libraries are redirecting resources from commodity collections to distinctive services. Academic library consortia will need to collaborate more deeply on collection management and custodial responsibilities to adequately support the evolving scholarly record across its various formats. Questions are raised about whether existing consortia represent the right stakeholders and scale of cooperation needed for effective collaborative stewardship arrangements going forward.
Libraries and their Role in Open Access: Challenges and OpportunitiesFrançois Renaville
- The open access movement is gaining momentum as more funders and institutions adopt open access policies, making more research openly available.
- Libraries can play a key role in supporting open access by providing services for depositing research in institutional repositories and making open access materials discoverable.
- The University of Liège took a top-down approach and mandated deposit in its institutional repository, ORBi. It offers services to help researchers comply with this mandate.
- Similarly, Harvard has open access policies across its schools and an office that provides services like deposit in its repository, DASH, and makes the content discoverable worldwide.
- Both libraries leverage discovery systems and indexes to provide access to open access content beyond their

The document discusses three initial ideas for a student film project and evaluates them. The first idea, called "Dead Walking," about a group of teenagers being hunted by zombies, received the highest score of 7/10 and was voted best. The second idea, about two boys being followed to a party, received a 5/10. The third idea, about friends in trouble at prom, received the lowest score of 2/10 for being too similar to the second idea. The document chooses the first zombie idea for the film project due to it being simple yet interesting. It then provides details on storyboarding, scripting, equipment, locations, personnel, potential problems and solutions for filming the zombie idea.
This document discusses how language ability affects fitting into a community. It notes that transactional language is needed to get tasks done, expressive language is for expressing feelings, and social language is important for communicating and relating to others in the community. The document also discusses how non-verbal communication, history and culture of a place, time spent in the country, and one's effort to adapt all influence how well one can fit into a new community where the main language is not their own.
Jordel Anderson created a pre-production PowerPoint for a short film project. He initially proposed three film ideas - "The Bad Touch", "Nazi Zombies", and "Extreme Torture" - and developed taglines for each. A peer assessed the ideas and recommended "The Bad Touch" due to its unique storyline. Jordel chose "The Bad Touch" because the locations were obtainable and equipment available. He created a storyboard and 2-page script with specific camera directions. A cast and crew was assembled, including actors and roles for lighting, makeup, and more. Locations, equipment, and budget requirements were outlined. Jordel concluded by promoting the quality of the film and thanking the
The Community Health Partnership of north-west Florence is a public consortium between 8 municipalities and the local health unit that was created in 2004 to better integrate social and health services. It aims to improve access to services for disadvantaged groups like immigrants. By joining resources, it reduces costs while increasing opportunities. Examples of joint projects address issues like social exclusion, disability, and services for minors. The partnership allows for more complex projects involving private entities to meet area needs. However, volunteering and the third sector also play an important role in meeting demand due to insufficient public services alone.

This document discusses early supported discharge (ESD) for stroke patients. It notes that stroke is common, serious, expensive to treat, but also treatable. ESD programs can reduce death and disability from stroke compared to traditional hospital-based care. The benefits of several stroke treatments are presented, including aspirin, treatment in a stroke unit, and thrombolysis. Statistics on stroke outcomes in London are provided, which show higher thrombolysis rates and shorter hospital stays compared to other areas. Characteristics of a typical ESD team and patient outcomes from one ESD program in London are described. Patient quotes support the benefits of ESD in allowing earlier discharge from hospital with continued rehabilitation at home. The conclusion is that E

This document outlines a student's pre-production work for a short film project about a deadly dare. It discusses the chosen idea, storyboards, script, potential problems and solutions, permissions, budget, equipment, costumes, props, health and safety considerations, and a pitch for why the idea should be selected. The student selected the deadly dare idea because it is original and basic to act out. They created a storyboard and script that are each at least two minutes long but could be improved. They have a plan to use a backdrop of an old house and find actors to play the parts in order to overcome location and casting challenges.

Electronic Resources and Serials Librarian, Kraemer Family Library, University of Colorado Colorado Springs
When assessing the value of electronic serials, librarians are typically limited to looking at the usage of serials to which their library already subscribes. While this is useful for making renewal decisions, librarians are often flying blind when considering new subscriptions. Librarians often look at interlibrary loan requests to gauge interest in unsubscribed materials, but we know that these requests don’t tell the full story. Without other available data, it is difficult for librarians to make informed decisions about what subscriptions to add.
This presentation will look beyond interlibrary loan data to discuss other methods for predicting future use, including usage numbers of similar materials, turnaway statistics, and data from failed link resolver requests. Each of these methods has strengths and weaknesses, and each can all tell librarians something different about how users are discovering and attempting to access materials.
I will discuss some of the recent literature that discusses the association of the data from these sources with usage numbers. I will also share preliminary data from my institution, attempting to correlate prior year indicators of interest in electronic serials with first year use of new acquisitions.
NCompass Live: The Secret Art of Patron Driven eBook AcquisitionsDana Longley
This document summarizes the results of a 3-year patron-driven ebook acquisition program at SUNY Empire State College. It found that allowing patrons to trigger short-term loans and purchases of ebooks from the Ebrary catalog led to over 2,400 ebooks being accessed at a total cost of $62,268. Usage increased over time, with views and sessions doubling year-over-year. Popular subject areas included business, intercultural communication, and religious texts. The program helped expand the ebook collection size without large upfront costs.
The Secret Art of Patron-Driven eBook Acquisition: A snapshot of Cost and Con...Dana Longley
This document summarizes the results of a patron-driven ebook acquisition program at SUNY Empire State College. Through the program, 81,516 ebooks were made available through a short-term loan system. Over the first 18 months, there were 2,670 triggers which resulted in $54,735 spent on 90 purchased titles. On average, each trigger cost $19.69. The program led to a 33% increase in the size of the ebook collection and may have decreased interlibrary loan requests. User behavior data showed that most triggers were from viewing portions of ebooks, rather than downloading or printing.
The document summarizes discussions from a conference on collective collection building and demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) at UC campuses.
Three speakers outlined their campuses' experiences with DDA: Kerry discussed UC Santa Cruz's DDA program purchasing 35 ebooks and generating 144 short-term loans over a year. Jim explained UC Merced's DDA purchasing 69 and 66 ebooks over two years while accumulating thousands of loans. Martha described UC San Diego's DDA purchasing 78 and 354 ebooks respectively with many loans, while shifting their collection increasingly online.
The document also outlines a UC-wide DDA pilot with university presses and hopes that data from DDA programs can help libraries better understand user needs
The document summarizes a webinar presented by Greg Doyle on the Orbis Cascade Alliance Demand Driven Ebook Initiative. It discusses how the alliance of 37 academic libraries in the Pacific Northwest implemented a demand driven acquisition model with EBL to provide access to ebooks. Key points include how the model works, statistics on usage and spending from 2011-2013, and benefits and challenges of the model. The alliance has expanded the budget to $750,000 for fiscal year 2013 and hopes to increase access to more ebook titles.
The document discusses the University of Glasgow's experiments with demand-driven acquisition (DDA) models for ebooks. It implemented a small patron-driven acquisition trial through an ebook aggregator, spending a limited amount on about 1500 ebook titles over 4 months. Usage was high, with 10% of titles receiving 10 or more access and the average cost per used title being £55.96. Only 10% of titles saw no repeat use after initial purchase. The university is considering further DDA trials and evaluating different models to help build its ebook collection in a responsible way while supporting user needs.

This document provides an overview of a presentation on return on investment (ROI) in libraries. The presentation covers various topics related to ROI including direct use benefits, indirect use benefits, non-use benefits, cost-benefit methodologies, and challenges in calculating ROI. Examples are given of ROI studies conducted in different types of libraries such as academic, public, special, and national libraries. ROI ranges from 1.02:1 to 31.07:1 depending on the library. Challenges with ROI methodology include a lack of consistency and accurately valuing benefits.
Mine or theirs, where do users go? A comparison of collection usage at a loca...Juleah Swanson
This presentation shares research on recent trends in usage of electronic content by platform, comparing patron usage at a publisher platform, Elsevier’s Science Direct, to patron usage of the same content at a locally hosted platform, OhioLINK’s Electronic Journal Center. From the data, this presentation will open up a discussion on whether there is a continued place for locally hosted digital collections in our libraries; as well as what the long term implications are for relying on publisher platforms for our collections.
The document discusses the transition from print to electronic books in academic library collections. It covers the history of traditional print collection development and use studies, the shift to patron-driven acquisition of print books through interlibrary loan, and the implementation of e-book patron-driven acquisition programs. The document also addresses challenges associated with e-books, such as restrictions on printing and downloading, as well as the future of e-books and potential innovations beyond replicating print books in digital form.
This document discusses the role of usage statistics in collection management. It explains that usage statistics provide essential evidence to show how e-resources are being used, look at trends over time, and inform renewal/cancellation decisions. Different audiences for usage statistics include library directors, academic staff, and subject librarians. The document also discusses standards like COUNTER for collecting usage statistics and initiatives like JUSP that provide a single point of access to usage data from multiple publishers.

The uptake of ebooks is increasing in academic libraries despite myriad complexities. Providing perspectives from university libraries and consortia, this presentation will explore the evaluation of ebooks. Topics include usage by acquisition method and intended purpose, ebook management complexities and their effect on usage, and analysis of consortial purchases.
The document summarizes the results of a longitudinal study conducted by Katie Burn and Matt Cunningham on why students use university libraries and what they use them for. They surveyed students at Loughborough University and the University of York in 2015 and 2016. Some key findings were that students primarily use libraries for individual study and to access resources, with undergraduates using libraries more frequently than postgraduates. Differences between the universities included York students prioritizing individual study more and using libraries for social purposes. The collaboration provided insights to inform space planning and demonstrated the value of libraries.

This Ain’t Your Papa’s Allocation Formula!: Team Based Approaches to Monograp...Charleston Conference
The University of Guelph Library transitioned from a traditional liaison model with department-level monograph budgets to a team-based model with larger, college-level budgets. This was done to better support interdisciplinary work and changes in publishing. It established an Information Resources team to centrally manage the monograph budget according to university priorities rather than departmental affiliations. The new model aimed to increase collaboration, knowledge sharing, and holistic decision making across subject areas.
Shared E-books from Coast to Coast: Consortial Programs in Florida and the Pa...Charleston Conference
The Orbis Cascade Alliance is a consortium of 37 academic libraries in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington that serves over 258,000 students. In 2010, the Alliance formed an ebook team to explore demand-driven acquisition of ebooks through YBP and EBL. The initial funding model was based on member dues but later changed to a formula based on FTE, materials budget, and an even split. Between 2011-2013, over 1,000 ebooks were purchased and over 18,000 titles were accessed over 265,000 times through short-term loans. The Alliance continues to work with publishers and YBP to adjust its model and grow the ebook collection while controlling costs in a steady-state fiscal environment

The document discusses the tensions between academic libraries' missions of preserving knowledge for future generations and serving the current needs of students and faculty. It notes that libraries are moving away from primarily permanent collections towards more temporary access models using leasing and subscriptions. A potential future model is outlined where libraries focus on immediate access to all relevant content through various temporary means while ensuring future access through initiatives like print archiving. This broader temporary collection approach could fulfill both the preservation and access missions if issues like ensuring access to out-of-print titles are addressed.

1. A study analyzed the impact of four discovery services on journal article usage across six publishers and 33 libraries over two years.
2. The study found that every discovery service increased journal usage compared to the control group, but the size of the increase differed between services and across libraries and publishers.
3. Usage changes were influenced by factors like library configurations, metadata quality, and availability of full text in aggregators. More research is needed on how discovery impacts other content types and why certain results occurred.

The document discusses recommendations for new forms of discovery and purchasing in libraries using demand-driven acquisitions (DDA). It outlines four broad goals for DDA programs: saving money, spending the same amount more wisely, providing broader access, and building a permanent collection via patron input. The recommendations address establishing goals, choosing content and DDA models, profiling, loading and removing records, assessment, preservation, and consortial DDA. The presentation of these recommendations aims to develop a flexible DDA model that meets local needs while allowing for consortial participation and cross-aggregator implementation.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

the Colorado Alliance of
Research Libraries
Michael Levine-Clark
University of Denver Libraries
Perspectives on DDA in a Consortial Environment
ALA Annual, Chicago
June 30, 2013
2. The Goals
• Demand-driven acquisition at the consortial
level
– Shared access
– Shared triggers
– Shared ownership
• Learn about cross-institutional demand
• For some institutions
– Learn about DDA
– Learn about e-books
3. Does DDA Make Sense
in a Consortial Environment?
• In the local environment, most titles
– Used once or twice
• Does it make sense to aggregate low usage across
multiple institutions and then pay for ownership?
– Used by one person, one class = one institution
• Does it make sense to share ownership for titles used at
one institution?
4. Planning
• Summer 2011 – Alliance meeting with YBP
• Fall 2011 - Data gathering, preliminary
identification of publishers
• Midwinter 2012 – Alliance meetings
5. Participants
• Auraria Library
• Colorado College
• Colorado Mesa University
• Colorado State University
• Regis University
• University of Colorado –
Colorado Springs
• University of Denver
• University of Northern

• University of Wyoming
Non-Participants
• University of Colorado –
Health Sciences
• Colorado School of Mines
• Denver Public Library
• University of Colorado -
Boulder
6. The Pilot . . . As Conceived
• Managed by YBP
– Control overlap with local plans (p/e)
– Single source for invoicing, record loads
• Two aggregators
– EBL
– Ebrary
• Divide publishers evenly between the aggregators
– Profiling based on publisher rather than subject
– 2012 imprints forward
7. The Pilot . . . As Executed
• Managed by YBP
– Control overlap with local plans (p/e)
– Single source for invoicing, record loads
• Two aggregators
– EBL
– Ebrary
• Imperfect mix of publishers between
aggregators
8. Publishers
EBL
• Continuum
• DeGruyter
• Edinburgh UP
• Facts on File/Infobase
• Oxford UP
• Princeton UP
• Rodopi
• Sage, CQ Press
• Univ of California Press
• Wiley, multiple imprints
ebrary
• ABC-CLIO
• Ashgate & Gower
• Harvard UP
• Jessica Kingsley

• McFarland
• Stanford UP
9. The multiplier
• With YBP, looked at acquisition patterns across
the Alliance
– Typically bought fewer than 2 copies/title
• Decided to negotiate for 2.5
– Applied to purchase price
• Alliance pays 2.5 x list price
• Ownership shared across all 9 libraries
– Not applied to STL cost
10. Components of DDA
• Free discovery – Browse
– EBL: 5 minutes
– Ebrary: 10 minutes
• Short-Term Loan (STL)
– 6 for each aggregator
• Purchase after 6th STL
11. Budgeting
• Platform fees for aggregators waived
• Each library contributed $12,500 = $112,500
• Enough for at least one year
12. The Pilot So Far
May 2012
Sept/Nov
2012
May 2013
First books available/records loaded
(EBL)
First ebrary books/records available
– Ebrary started at a disadvantage
• Far fewer titles
• Some internal issues led to delays
1,720 titles available (ebrary)
3,644 titles available (EBL)
14. Usage Definitions
• Unowned Browse
– Free period in the book before an autopurchase
occurs. Doesn’t count as an STL
• Short Term Loan (STL)
– A brief (1 or 7-day) loan for 10-20% of list price
• AutoPurchase
– Purchase of the book for list price, with the multiplier
(2.5) applied. After 6 STLs
• Owned Browse, Owned Loan
– Uses after the autopurchase occurs
15. Spending Through April 2013
Aggregator Purchase Type Amount Spent
EBL STL $24,248.82
Purchase $9,186.31
EBL Total $33,435.13

20. Usage Observations
• A big disparity in usage
– Three schools with tiny usage (and low FTE)
– One school with 40% of usage
• Large usage of e-books in general
• High FTE
• Shibboleth
– No secondary EBL login
21. Rethinking Funding
• Should need about $40,000 more to get
through year two
– Three low-use schools won’t be asked to
contribute
– CSU will contribute 50%
– Remaining 50% distributed across other four
libraries
22. What if…?
• Each school went alone with EBL
– Same titles
– Same number of STLs
– No multiplier for autopurchase
– Same usage
• STLs
• Autopurchases (counted as a use)
• Owned loans
23. What if…? Calculations
# of STLs by one library
+ # of autopurchases by that library
+ # of owned loans by that library
• If the total is 6 or less then multiply X avg STL
cost for that title
• If the total is 7 or more then multiply 6 X avg
STL + 1 x autopurchase
24. What if…

had an Autopurchase
Auraria 292 193 $3,601.23 2
Colorado College 70 50 $807.77 1

University of Wyoming 205 134 $2,455.17 0
Totals $28,316.43 21
25. What if…
• Consortium
– Own 50 titles – shared perpetual access
– Spent $33,435.13
• Alone
– Would own 21 titles, with access limited to a
single institution
– Would have spent $28,316.43
26. A Basic Question
• Does DDA make sense for consortia?
– Most titles used by just 1-2 institutions
• Paid use
– 76.3% by one institution
– 17.4% by two institutions
– Average number of institutions with paid usage of an
autopurchased title is 2.2 – less than the multiplier
• Any use
– 62.7% by one institution
– 22.8% by two institutions
– Average number of institutions with any usage of an
autopurchased title is 4.2 – more than the multiplier
– Cheaper to go it alone
– Will these patterns improve over time?
27. The Future
• Assess overall value of the pilot after two full
years
– Value of consortial vs. local program
– Long-term vs short-term
– Expand or contract?
• Publishers
• Years
• Institutions
• Aggregators
– Redistribute funding
