The Many Hats of the E-Resources Librarian: Present Challenges and Possible F...Jane Strudwick
The document discusses the roles and competencies of e-resources librarians. It describes how their responsibilities have expanded to manage the entire lifecycle of electronic resources, including acquiring subscriptions, negotiating licenses, providing access, and evaluating resources. However, the e-resources librarian faces challenges from siloed systems and changing publishing models. Potential futures discussed include a fully integrated system, demand-driven acquisitions, and the e-resources librarian taking on new roles in areas like research support or state-level collaboration due to budget and staffing changes.
This document discusses electronic resource management (ERM) tools and databases, their procurement, usage, and challenges in law libraries. It begins by outlining the expected outcomes of learning about ERM definitions, types, procurement processes, proprietary and open access databases for legal research, and challenges. It then defines ERM, describes various types of ERM like MARC, databases, and institutional repositories. It discusses ERM workflows, acquisition processes, policies, proprietary and open access databases. Finally, it addresses usage statistics, user preferences for print, technical difficulties, budget constraints, and increased resources and user expectations as challenges in ERM.
Electronic Resources Workflows: Three ApproachesTina Beis
Presentation at the Ohio Valley Group of Technical Services Librarians 2017.
Managing and coordinating the multifaceted steps involved in the electronic resource lifecycle in a transparent and effective method can be a challenging aspect of librarianship. This presentation will cover the workflow processes and collaborative efforts involved in: investigation of new resources, acquisitions & licensing, access, support, evaluation and renewal decisions from a unique perspective of three institutions of varying sizes and types. The presenters will discuss their shared work history in coordinating the electronic resources workflow at Capital University, a small private four-year college, as well as their current respective roles at Union Institute and University, a small private nonprofit university specializing in distance learning and The University of Toledo, a large public university with a health science campus. The presentation will conclude with best practices and will highlight some challenging issues we have encountered such as, working with limited staff and administration, large-scale ILS and discovery changes, and budgetary concerns.

IKHarvester aims to capture informal learning from social semantic information sources. It harvests data from sources like semantic wikis and blogs using semantic web technologies. The harvested data is provided using learning object metadata standards to support elearning frameworks. IKHarvester has a service oriented architecture with RESTful web services to allow resources and metadata to be retrieved, added, updated and deleted. It is implemented on the notitio.us platform to support collaborative knowledge sharing and aggregation.

Access Management for Libraries by John Paschoud & Masha GaribyanJISC.AM
This presentation explores the impact of the move towards federated access management on libraries, including a discussion of the Athens administrator role, changes to library processes and the impact on the end-user.
The licensing lifecycle: from negotiation to complianceNASIG
The license negotiated at the beginning of the electronic resource life cycle impacts access to the resource throughout the life cycle. To simplify the negotiating process, ensure that terms favorable to the library are included in the license and that the license complies with Texas A&M University(TAMU) and State of Texas regulations, the library developed a licensing checklist. As a way to make completed licenses more accessible, TAMU uses the electronic resources management system CORAL to store license documents and terms. This presentation will look at the TAMU’s licensing process, the creation and evolution of TAMU’s licensing checklist and how CORAL is used to share license details. Despite our best efforts, the occasional license breach does occur and so this presentation will also look at some examples of breaches and the steps TAMU takes to resolve these breaches so that access can be restored as quickly as possible.

Meeting the e-resources challenge through collaboration: an OCLC perspective ...NASIG
Libraries have been evolving their methods and approaches to managing the increasing range and number of electronic collections; however, much of the technology that has been developed to support this evolution involves the use of closed, disparate systems that each supports a single aspect of electronic resource management. At this session, OCLC staff and experts from member libraries will look at specific challenges of the e-resource management life cycle and share their perspectives about the opportunities to simplify and streamline processes at each step of the workflowselect, acquire, describe, discover, access and renew.
Particular focus will be given to the potential for libraries (and providers) to share data, tools and processes within OCLC's suite of WorldShare applications. These include: working with publishers to provide comprehensive, timely, good quality, reusable metadata to drive the discovery and usage of electronic resources; providing APIs that foster the development of functional enhancements that benefit everyone; working with a range of partners to embed metadata about, and drive discovery of, library collections in the sites and tools where users start their search.
OCLC is a worldwide cooperative of more than 16,000 libraries, archives and museums, working with members to provide a range of cloud-based, cooperative services that manage the complete library management life cycleOCLC WorldShare. OCLC's unique community-led approach to cataloging has resulted in widespread acknowledgment of the richness and accuracy of libraries' metadata. We are now applying this approach to the description, management and discovery of electronic resources.
By offering applications that address acquisitions, link resolution, authentication, license management, discovery, metadata synchronization and analyticson an open, shared platformOCLC is working with libraries to share the work of managing and delivering licensed resources with services that streamline and automate critical functions at every step of the library's workflow.

Webscale Discovery with the Enduser in Mind Debra Kolah
The document summarizes a presentation given at the 2012 SLA Annual Conference in Chicago. It discusses the history of discovery tools in libraries, from cataloging to federated search to web-scale discovery. It provides biographies of three speakers: Harry Kaplanian of EBSCO Publishing, Debra Kolah of Rice University, and Rafal Kasprowski of Rice University. The presentation covered topics like the development of discovery services, lessons learned from a discovery tool selection process at Rice University, and best practices for customizing and implementing discovery systems.
The document discusses the next generation of integrated library systems moving towards modularity and outward integration. Key points are:
1) Future integrated library systems will be more modular, allowing components to be combined more flexibly like Lego blocks. This will enable linking between different systems rather than building monolithic systems.
2) Integration should focus outwardly, making library collections visible on the open web where users search. This allows pulling users from search engines into library resources.
3) A longer term vision sees a more coherent global system for discovery and delivery of information across open, loosely connected systems. Libraries play a role alongside other providers and search engines.
How To Evaluate Web Based Information ResourcesPrasanna Iyer
The document discusses evaluating web-based information resources and improving information literacy. It provides criteria for evaluating resources, including credibility, user interface, content, search features, and access. As librarians, it is important to help users find expert information and evaluate quality. Improving information literacy involves collaborating with users to help them locate, evaluate, and effectively use information while understanding legal and ethical issues.
Building and managing the scientific electronic collections for a new SciTech...Rindra Ramli
Electronic resources have evolved to become one of the most important resources within the library’s collection. The growths of these resources and the players involved within this area have provided library users with another alternative to obtain information. When implemented correctly with library assistance (library trainings, reference consultations and so forth), library users can access these electronic resources anywhere in the world with relative ease as long as there is an internet connection. Geographic barriers are no longer an issue and information can be obtained in a just-in-time manner. This paper describes how KAUST library built its electronic resources and how they grew into what it is today. Issues such as manpower, expertise level, budget, ERM tools, library-vendor relations and library-user communication will also be elaborated in the paper. Despite its drawbacks, KAUST library has managed to overcome most of them and strived to improve certain areas of concern. The paper will also describe the library’s ERM future directions and strategic planning. KAUST University was opened in September 2009 and it started out with its first cohort of 800 graduate students (25% female) taught by 100 faculties. The main areas of study focus on science and engineering divisions consisting mainly of: Mathematics and Computer Science, Physical Sciences and Life Sciences. From a demographic snapshot taken in 2010, 36% of the student body came from Saudi Arabia and the Middle East, 34% from Asia, 21% from Americas, 5% from Europe and 4% from Africa (alZahrani, R. , Branin, J. and Yi , 2012). The university library, when first started, had about 10 staff. The library is known to have a “state-of-the-art learning and information resource center supporting graduate education and advanced scientific research” (KAUST, 2010). The library subscribed to major science databases, electronic journals and books. It also offers a myriad of services from document delivery requests, textbook services, reference assistance and library trainings and consultations just to name a few.
This document discusses library portals and their importance. It defines a library portal as a combination of software that unifies the user experience of discovering and accessing information. Library portals are important because they can help address the problem users face in navigating the many dispersed electronic resources and databases available. Portals allow a single point of access and can integrate various library services and tools. However, there are no accepted standards for library portals currently.
BioMed Central recently hosted a repository workshop at the ACRL conference in Seattle entitled Developing A Repository: The Library’s Journey
The workshop focused on developments in the open access movement and the consequent need for institutions to have their own institutional repository. This was followed by a case study on the journey that a library takes in developing and implementing a repository to their institution.

Librarians and faculty members now have the opportunity, through open access publishing, to work together to make faculty-produced scholarly content available to the entire academic community, not just to those scholars or institutions privileged enough to afford it. The University of South Florida Libraries have been working with bepress’ Digital Commons platform to create a substantial institutional repository that includes open access journals, conference proceedings, and data sets, among other materials. Publication of open access journals at USF officially began in 2008 with the launch of Numeracy from the National Numeracy Network. Library staff members are currently involved in a variety of activities, including negotiating memorandum of understandings, loading backfiles, registering DOIs with CrossRef, designing layout, doing final publication steps, and assisting with technical issues. In 2011, our institutional repository, Scholar Commons @ USF, went live, allowing the library to pull fragmented collections previously hosted on other platforms into a single system with improved discoverability. This session will discuss some of these efforts, what is involved, how we have retrained existing and new staff, and plans for future directions.
This document discusses patron-driven acquisition (PDA) of ebooks. It provides background on PDA from Rick Anderson's definition. Key benefits of PDA mentioned include increased relevancy for patrons, responsiveness to patron demands, and addressing limits of traditional collection development. The document then examines examples of PDA programs at various libraries and considerations for implementing PDA, such as discovery tools, pre-selection of content, mediation of purchase requests, purchase vs. rental models, and how payments are handled. Challenges of PDA including impact on the educational mission, biases in selection, budget issues, and cataloging are also addressed.

This document provides an overview of different types of information resources for conducting literature reviews, including catalogs, indexes, databases, web directories, and search engines. It discusses how each resource is structured and best used. The document also provides examples of specific resources for different subject areas, as well as tips for managing references and citations.
This presentation provides samples of the following educational electronic resources:
*Dictionaries and Thesaurus
*Encyclopedia and Wikis
*Video Website
1) E-book collections are a large part of many library collections but can be difficult for users to discover due to lack of metadata and disconnected management systems.
2) New opportunities exist to improve e-book discovery through unified knowledgebases, automated metadata feeds from publishers, and direct integration between knowledgebases and discovery services.
3) Libraries can benefit from reduced manual effort in managing e-book holdings and more timely access to e-books in discovery systems through automated processes for updating title lists and status changes.
This document discusses Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. It is celebrated in May to honor the achievements and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. May was chosen as it marks important milestones like the arrival of the first Japanese immigrants in 1843 and the completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 built primarily by Chinese immigrants. The month was established by presidential proclamations and laws to recognize the diversity, leadership, and empowerment of Asian American and Pacific Islander communities. It highlights influential figures and celebrates the culture, history and people.

Description
Do your collections reflect the diversity of your constituents? Are you equipped to meet the diverse needs of future users? In light of budgetary and spatial challenges, diversity in collections may not be a priority for most libraries. Yet, changing demographics practically ensures that there will be an increase in the demand for diverse materials. See how librarians from 3 different types of academic institutions and 1 medical library have been dealing with (or not) with this issue.
Lightning Talk #9: How UX and Data Storytelling Can Shape Policy by Mika Aldabaux singapore
How can we take UX and Data Storytelling out of the tech context and use them to change the way government behaves?
Showcasing the truth is the highest goal of data storytelling. Because the design of a chart can affect the interpretation of data in a major way, one must wield visual tools with care and deliberation. Using quantitative facts to evoke an emotional response is best achieved with the combination of UX and data storytelling.
The document discusses how personalization and dynamic content are becoming increasingly important on websites. It notes that 52% of marketers see content personalization as critical and 75% of consumers like it when brands personalize their content. However, personalization can create issues for search engine optimization as dynamic URLs and content are more difficult for search engines to index than static pages. The document provides tips for SEOs to help address these personalization and SEO challenges, such as using static URLs when possible and submitting accurate sitemaps.
This document summarizes a study of CEO succession events among the largest 100 U.S. corporations between 2005-2015. The study analyzed executives who were passed over for the CEO role ("succession losers") and their subsequent careers. It found that 74% of passed over executives left their companies, with 30% eventually becoming CEOs elsewhere. However, companies led by succession losers saw average stock price declines of 13% over 3 years, compared to gains for companies whose CEO selections remained unchanged. The findings suggest that boards generally identify the most qualified CEO candidates, though differences between internal and external hires complicate comparisons.
The document discusses updates and initiatives from OCLC regarding collection analysis, interlibrary loan, and delivery services. It provides information on using WorldCat Collection Analysis and ILL analysis to evaluate collections and identify gaps. It also outlines enhancements to delivery services like new response reasons and tracking categories, as well as initiatives for supplier deflection and a pilot for direct delivery to users.

Presented at the Georgia Libraries Conference in Columbus, GA on 10/05/2017.
This session will give an overview of COUNTER statistics, including their development, use, and relation to other library metrics. The presentation will also discuss practical issues related to gathering, reporting, and common problems.
This document discusses how the University of St. Thomas integrates usage statistics into collection development decisions. It outlines the various sources of usage data for print and online resources, as well as the methods for analyzing and compiling cost and usage data from multiple systems. The university has developed local tools and processes to integrate cost and usage data to produce reports on topics such as cost per use for print and online subscriptions. These reports and data analyses help inform decisions about cancellations, format changes, and collection development.

Managing Electronic Resources for Public Libraries: Part 2ALATechSource
This document provides information on managing electronic resources for public libraries. It discusses collecting and analyzing usage statistics on a regular basis, being aware of vendors' usage statistics modules, and standards like COUNTER and SUSHI. Key metrics for evaluation are identified. Maintaining professional relationships with vendors and negotiating contracts and renewals is also covered. Other topics include discovery services, federated searching, collection development policies, and ways to stay up-to-date in the field.
This document summarizes a presentation on ebooks given by Tony Horava at the University of Ottawa. It discusses the wide variety of ebook formats and acquisition models libraries must consider. It outlines the challenges of selecting, budgeting for, acquiring, cataloging and providing access to ebooks. It also discusses assessing ebook usage and the Ontario consortium's approach to licensing ebooks. The future growth of ebooks is predicted due to factors like improved technology and business models that favor digital formats over print.
The document discusses using e-metrics to assess electronic collections. It defines e-metrics as standardized measurements that produce quantitative data extracted from using electronic resources. This can be used as a tool to assess effectiveness, efficiency, performance and quality of electronic resources. The document outlines various e-metrics analyses that can be done, including trend analysis, efficiency studies, and cost-benefit analysis using return on investment and cost per article reading. Examples of e-metrics reports are provided to illustrate utilization rate, satisfaction rate, efficiency rate, and usability rate analyses.
From Spreadsheets to SUSHI: Five Years of Assessing Use of E-ResourcesCharleston Conference
This document discusses the transition from manually collecting and compiling electronic resource usage statistics to using the SUSHI protocol and EBSCO's Usage Consolidation tool over a five year period at two universities. It describes setting up the tool to automatically harvest COUNTER-compliant usage reports from various vendors via SUSHI, loading any remaining reports manually, and ongoing cleanup work. The tool provides centralized access to usage data and standardized reporting to help with collection development decisions. While it has reduced the manual work, some spreadsheet calculations are still needed and not all resources can be loaded. The document envisions further automation through a shared SUSHI portal for libraries in a consortium.
This document outlines steps for evaluating electronic resources for a library collection. It discusses:
1) Knowing your user population and their needs through communication with faculty and analyzing resource usage.
2) Developing both long-term and short-term collection goals and balancing subscriptions with available funds.
3) Thoroughly evaluating trial resources through hands-on use and user/staff feedback before making purchasing decisions.
Managing Electronic Resources for Public Libraries, Part 1ALATechSource
The document outlines best practices for managing electronic resources in public libraries. It discusses organizing responsibilities through governance models and collaboration with partners. Key tasks covered include identifying needs, locating suitable products, conducting trials, setting up new resources, and promoting them. Maintaining resources requires collection usage statistics, vendor negotiations, training staff and patrons, and troubleshooting issues. The goal is to effectively select, organize, provide access to, and promote electronic materials that meet community needs.
The document discusses various projects and initiatives at Cowles Library related to analyzing and managing their journal collections. It describes tracking usage of electronic databases and individual journal titles. It also outlines projects to identify print journals that can be withdrawn now available digitally through JSTOR, analyze the journal collection using tools to identify titles to add or cancel, and transition print subscriptions to online formats where there is sufficient demand. A new journal cost containment policy is introduced to flag titles whose prices increase over 15% annually for review.
This document discusses how libraries can transition from traditional supply-driven collection models to more demand-driven, data-driven models that are more sustainable. It argues that usage data and analytics should be used more in collection decisions to lower costs and better meet user needs. Specific strategies mentioned include analyzing print and e-book usage patterns, using data to inform space planning, and collaborating through resource sharing networks. Challenges discussed include resistance to change and accounting for niche areas. The document advocates growing analytical skills, experimenting, and using data to make collections more vital to researchers.
The Public Library Catalogue as a Social SpaceLouise Spiteri
This document summarizes research into how users interact with social discovery systems in public library catalogues. Transaction logs from Halifax and Edmonton libraries were analyzed from June-August 2010. Key findings include: basic searches were most common, faceted navigation was dominated by format, and user-generated content such as tags, reviews and ratings was rarely used. While systems allowed various contributions, tags were only applied to 6-12% of records tracked and did not increase over time. The value of social features in library catalogues requires further examination through user surveys.
Why Our Library Is Particpating In The Projectmilloca
The document discusses a library project to provide e-books to meet student and faculty needs. It outlines issues with availability and pricing of e-books from publishers. The project aims to license e-book collections in specific subject areas and evaluate their usage. Participating libraries will provide usage data and user feedback in exchange for free access to the e-books for two years. Two bids were selected to provide the e-books through aggregator platforms.
This document discusses the use of statistics and metrics to evaluate the nanotechnology journal collection at the HKUST Library. It examines usage statistics from COUNTER reports and impact factors from the Journal Citation Reports to analyze usage of e-journals. It finds that journals with higher impact factors tended to have more usage, while about a third of e-journals were never used. The document advocates using metrics for objective and frequent evaluation of collections to better meet user needs.
This case report was presented during a session on electronic usage analysis that was held as part of a seminar about library evaluation for 3rd year librarian students at the Cologne University of Applied Science (FH Köln), Germany on May 7th 2009
1) The document summarizes recent updates to WorldCat Resource Sharing, including new features for lenders to recognize lending partners, search closed requests, view updated deflection and no-fill reasons, and improved printing of requests.
2) Lenders can now see affiliations to help recognize partners and apply policies, and can search closed requests by various identifiers.
3) New deflection options and an update reminder message were added. Reasons for not filling requests were renamed or retired, and system-supplied conditional notes were moved.
