Library collection managers face significant changes in managing digital collections. Traditional activities like selection, acquisition, and storage now apply to digital resources that are vast in scope and amount. Collections have evolved from physical holdings to include digital content, scholarly workflows, and unique institutionally generated materials. Managing digital collections requires new strategies like emphasizing access over ownership, supporting discovery through workflows, and developing inside-out collections that are tailored to institutional needs rather than relying solely on outside content. Space constraints also encourage libraries to develop shared print collections and host traveling exhibits, performances, and collaborations that activate underused spaces.

Understanding the Collective Collection: Concepts, Implications, and FuturesOCLC
Brian Lavoie presented on collective collections and OCLC Research. Some key points:
1) Collective collections refer to the aggregate collection of materials held across a group of institutions, with duplicate holdings removed. OCLC Research studies collective collections at different scales to understand their characteristics and aid strategic planning.
2) An example analysis looked at the collective print book collections of Ohio State University and the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) consortium. It found both rare and core assets when considering the collections together versus individually.
3) The scholarly record is evolving from print-centric to digital and networked, with more diverse and distributed content. Stewardship models may need to change, with more conscious coordination

Back by popular demand! Each year, a number of new reports about public libraries are produced by organizations like Pew, OCLC, Library Journal, The Aspen Institute, and others. These reports contain valuable information that can help us plan, develop services, and improve existing services, but unfortunately, few of us have the time to read every single one. The goal of this session is to help attendees get an overview of those reports and their implications for our work. Each panelist will share a summary of a report they believe is significant and discuss how they have used or will use the information at their library. Attendees will be encouraged to share other reports and insights that have mattered to them, too!

Part of a 2019 NASIG presentation: "Interactions between technical and public services: perceptions from different librarians." Career transitions can provide an opportunity to both give and gain new perspective. After working eight years as an electronic resources management librarian, starting a position as a liaison librarian was challenging, but also illuminating. In this presentation, I will share what skills I brought to the new position that have been an asset, as well as what skills I have had to develop. I will also share what librarians in both resource management roles and education roles should understand about each other in order to help build relationships between library units and ultimately improve the ecosystem for resource acquisition, management, outreach, and use. Presented by Heidi Zuniga.
Becoming a Great Academic Liaison WorkshopALATechSource
The document discusses the evolving role of academic library liaisons. It begins by introducing the presenters and asking library liaisons how many hours they devote to liaison work. It then outlines the history of liaison roles from the prehistoric age focusing on collection development and communication to the modern era with expanded roles in areas like technology support, curriculum involvement, and copyright advising. The rest of the document offers tips, examples, and trends related to key liaison responsibilities and the future of liaison work, emphasizing continued focus on communication, collaboration, and developing user-centered services.
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.
The document discusses the future of reference collections in libraries. It outlines that reference collections traditionally included dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other resources for quick fact-checking, but users now prefer electronic versions. This poses issues for libraries in maintaining both print and digital formats with limited budgets. The document also notes that reference sections have become neglected and outdated. It suggests libraries develop collection policies to guide updating reference materials in electronic or print.
The USC Libraries underwent a strategic planning process to reevaluate their reference services and implement changes. This included relocating the reference desk at Doheny Memorial Library from a consultation room back to the original location. A pilot program found a large increase in reference questions and student usage. As a result, the reference desk relocation was deemed a success and the hybrid reference model of both in-person and virtual services will continue into the future.

This document summarizes the growing activity and infrastructure supporting shared print collections in North America. It discusses how shared print programs have grown from a few pilot programs over a decade ago to include dozens of consortia with over 400 libraries holding about 20,000 journal titles and 5 million monographs collectively. Key shared print programs and their holdings are described. The document also outlines the analysis, registry, community, and consulting support that is building the necessary infrastructure for shared print. It concludes by arguing we are just at the beginning of large-scale shared print collections that will reclaim space while preserving print for the long-term.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

3. CFDP Goals
• Collections – complete cataloged collections based
on an agency (Dept. of Education), topic (Panama
Canal), or format (maps)
• Spaces – shared spaces throughout the southeast
• Services – Centers of Excellence (COE) supported
by expertise and access to collections
• Tangible item based program
o COE collects copies for access as well as
preservation
o Collections at regionals are above Tittle 44
requirements
4. Parallel Projects – One Outcome
IMLS Grant ASERL Guidelines for FDLP Collections
• Oct 2009-Sept 2012 • Dean’s Implementation Plan
• South Carolina (US Dept. of • Draft approved April 2010
Ed 1979-, Kentucky • Final approved April 2011
(WPA), Florida (Canal Zone) • Administrative support to
and ASERL implement a developing
• Proof of concept for CFDP proof of concept
• Inventory, catalog, identify • Commitment to expanding
gaps, and develop tools to Centers of Excellence concept
complete targeted collections • Development of the ASERL
based on local strengths Disposition tool
6. What has changed?
• All of our processes
• The nature of our collections
• Our workflows and staffing
• Our public areas
7. Collections
• Paper to electronic
• Owned to licensed
• Delivered to user’s desktop or office
• “Just In Case” to “Just In Time” selection models
• Information in short supply to Information
Overload
• Paper on a shelf to many delivery mechanisms –
iPad, iPhone, computer -- and trusty paper
8. Are government
documents a collection?
• Collections are managed
• Collections are selected to serve the primary
clientele
• Collections are made available to other users but
not collected for them
• Collections support the reputational aspirations
of the holding institution
9. Auburn University Libraries
Government Documents Collection
Over 1 million paper volumes
Over 2 million
microfiches/microcards
Occupies ¼ of the 1st floor of the
library
Occupies ¼ of the closed stacks area
A depository since 1907
10. But are these documents…
“Free” like “Free” like
a beer? a puppy?
12. Service questions
• Who is using the collection?
• How are they using it?
• What are the alternatives?
13. Why the ASERL FDLP Plan?
• We need to explore a viable alternative – the current plan is
not sustainable
• ASERL is the right group, the right size and has the right
mission and history of cooperation
• ASERL has a strong organizational structure and leadership
• We have the expertise and energy including the expertise
Judy Russell brings
• We are motivated – like most large library deans, we believe
the time has come
14. How this would be an improvement
• My library has a huge investment in terms of space
and other resources
• Much material is not cataloged so it is not really
accessible even if we have it
• The model of depending on a staff member to
interpret the collection is long out of date
• Current GPO policies do not reflect the way users
access and find information
15. Tough Love
• I’m a collections person. I value well selected, accessible, well
maintained collections
• I value subject expertise
• I am concerned about patron access
• I am concerned about the lack of discovery for government
documents
• I know we have to respond to change
• If documents collections don’t change, they will die of their own
weight
16. The ASERL plan
• Probably isn’t perfect and may
need to change over time
• It does make sense
• It doesn’t threaten the existence of government
documents
• It doesn’t mandate that any ASERL member get rid
of anything -- although it provides the opportunity
for Selectives
• It’s a start and it’s past time to get started
17. A Regional’s Perspective
Bill Sudduth
Head, Government Information, Microforms,
Newspapers, and Maps
University of South Carolina
18. Requirements of a Regional Federal
Depository Library (Title 44)
• Retain publications permanently, except superseded
(Section 1911)
• Receive copies of all new and revised publications
authorized for distribution (Section 1912)
• Provide ILL, reference service and assistance to depository
in the disposal of unwanted publications (Section 1912)
• Permit depository libraries, within the area served by
them, to dispose of publications which they have retained
for 5 years after first offering them to other depository
libraries within their area, then to other libraries (Section
1912)
Source: Legal Requirements & Program Regulations of the Federal Depository
Library Program, June 2011, p. 3
19. Withdrawal of
depository material
• Three options in the current guidelines
o Require Selectives to compile lists of publications
they wish to withdraw from their collections
• Specific categories of formats can be exempted
o Conduct an in-person review of the publications
to be discarded
o Require Selectives to check discards against the
regional’s or a union “needs” list
Source: Legal Requirements & Program Regulations of the Federal Depository Library
Program, June 2011, p. 9 (Guideline #61)
20. A Regional’s Perspective
• Need for retrospective cataloging
• Ensure complete collections
o Do we need 10 complete collections in SE?
• Managed approach to build targeted
collections based on local strength and
expertise
• Collections + expertise = value
• Outreach + training = public awareness
21. University of
South Carolina
• Original partner on IMLS grant
• Academic interest with strong Education programs
• U.S. Department of Education (1979-current)
o Issues related to a current on going agency
o Multiple formats
o Assumption that collections are cataloged
• Many Selectives in SC are weeding paper collections –
opportunity to fill gaps and build what might become
the ONLY tangible collection in the state
• Leverage the strengths of the ASERL partnership
including shared catalog and ILL delivery
22. A Selective’s Perspective
David Durant
Federal Documents & Social Sciences Librarian
East Carolina University
23. The J. Y. Joyner Library
in the FDLP
• Member since 1951
• Selective Depository (currently receives 68%
of available items)
• Legacy collection in print and microfiche;
Electronic collection
• Largest depository east of the Triangle
24. Why is the J. Y. Joyner Library
Involved in CFDP?
• Enhance role within ASERL
• Build ties to other depository libraries in
the region and foster greater local and
regional cooperation
• Help preserve print documents
25. Why is the J. Y. Joyner Library
Involved in CFDP?
• Increase awareness and visibility of federal
documents at the J. Y. Joyner Library
(enhance value of legacy print collection)
• Greater ability to build collection as needed
• Streamlined, more rapid and efficient Needs
& Offers process
• Involvement in ASERL program increases
our commitment to and effectiveness within
the FDLP
26. Why HUAC/HCIS?
• Great historic importance
• Tied to other library collections (ex: Hoover
Collection)
• Relatively small collection
• Already cataloged
• Already have sizable holdings (250 HUAC, 60
HCIS)
• Retrospective (1938-1975: no major growth)
27. Issues
• Filling gaps in collection
(pre-1950 materials in particular)
• Circulation?
• Obtaining second copies
• Digitization?
• Promotion / rollout
• Web presence
