Choosing how to deliver ebooks to our users is no easy task. There are many different publisher and vendor platforms, and there are just as many access models. A librarian that wants to build a broad ebook collection must consider multiple platforms and models. This choice inevitably involves a decision about access to a wide range of content through DDA or subscription packages versus the security of ownership. It is clear that DDA and subscriptions allow far more titles to be made available to a library’s users. This study explores the value of the various access models by measuring usage, cost, and holdings at both the local and consortial level.

About the Webinar
In the six years from 2006 to 2012, the number of self-published books grew an astounding 270% to more than 235,000, almost as many as were published "traditionally." The easy access to publication tools and distribution mechanisms has ushered in a new era of how content is created and disseminated. No longer do authors need to work through a publisher to have their content accepted, processed, and distributed. The impacts of this revolution in publishing extend well beyond what used to be called "vanity publishing." A variety of best-selling books in recent years have come out from successful self-publishers sharing their tips on how others can follow in their footsteps.
How can publishers capitalize on this author independence? How do libraries incorporate self-published works into their acquisition processes? When there is no publisher reputation behind a title, how does a library or user separate the wheat from the chaff? This webinar will explore these issues and the impacts of the self-publishing movement on both publishers and libraries.

About the Webinar
The "single search box" approach of web search engines like Google and Bing have forced libraries and system developers to rethink their whole approach to end-user searching for library and publisher resources and electronic content. Discovery systems are continuing to evolve from simple keyword search systems, to more elaborate indexed discovery, to new forms of usage-based discovery and beyond. Because discovery of content is such a critical component of library services, understanding in what potential ways these systems will develop is critical for library staff, either when selecting a system, or seeking ways to improve its service. NISO launched a research study in early 2014 on the status of discovery systems, their potential future development directions, and the systems interoperability needs of these services.
This webinar will cover some of the latest developments of library discovery systems as well as discuss the findings of the NISO research study, and the implications of those results.

Since Summer 2012, a National Information Standards Organization (NISO) working group has been developing a recommended practice regarding Demand-Driven Acquisition. This group, consisting of librarians, publishers, e-book aggregators, and approval and ILS vendors, has gathered feedback through surveys, interviews, and focus groups, and will present draft recommendations and ask for audience reactions.
The working group plans to release a final report in Spring 2014. This session will provide a crucial opportunity for stakeholders to respond to preliminary findings of the group, including detailed results of its recent international survey of stakeholders about DDA practices and opinions. The report will include recommendations on:
Best practices for populating and managing the pool of titles under consideration for potential purchase, including methods for automated updating and removal of discovery records;
Development of consistent models for the three basic aspects of e-book DDA – free discovery to prevent inadvertent transactions, temporary lease, and purchase – that work for publishers and libraries;
Methods for managing DDA of multiple formats; and
Models and strategies for measuring and predicting use.

Knowledge Unlatched: Enabling Open Access for Scholarly BooksLucy Montgomery
Although digital technology has made it possible for many more people to access content at no extra cost, fewer people than ever before are able to read the books written by university-based researchers. This presentation explores the role that open access licenses and collective action might play in reviving the scholarly monograph: a specialised area of academic publishing that has seen sales decline by more than 90 per cent over the past three decades. It also introduces Knowledge Unlatched an ambitious attempt to create an internationally coordinated, sustainable route to open access for scholarly books. Knowledge Unlatched is now in its pilot phase.
This presentation begins with a brief overview of some of the policy developments that are prompting the publishers of scholarly books to begin taking open access seriously.
It then touches on why open access challenges for books differ from those associated with journal articles.
Before focusing in on the open access monograph project that I am involved with: Knowledge Unlatched.

Levine-Clark, Michael, John McDonald, and Jason Price, "Discovery or Displacement?: A Large Scale Longitudinal Study of the Effect of Discovery Systems on Online Journal Usage," Charleston Conference, November 7, 2013.
Plenary session for Charleston Conference 2013. Authors: Michael Levine-Clark, John McDonald, Jason Price. In this first large scale study of the effect of discovery systems on electronic resource usage, the authors present initial findings on how these systems alter online journal usage by academic library researchers. The study examines usage of content hosted by four major academic journal publishers at 24 libraries that have implemented one of the major discovery systems, EBSCO's EDS, Ex Libris' Primo, OCLC's Worldcat Local, or SerialsSolutions’ Summon. A statistically rigorous comparison of COUNTER-compliant journal usage at each library from the 12 months before and after implementation will determine the degree to which usage rises or falls after discovery tool implementation and address rumors that discovery tools differ in their impact on electronic resource usage.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people.

The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

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.

Executive Directors Chat Leveraging AI for Diversity, Equity, and InclusionTechSoup
Let’s explore the intersection of technology and equity in the final session of our DEI series. Discover how AI tools, like ChatGPT, can be used to support and enhance your nonprofit's DEI initiatives. Participants will gain insights into practical AI applications and get tips for leveraging technology to advance their DEI goals.
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.

4. Coexis4ng
Missions
Tradi4onally,
access
to
resources
for
our
students
necessitated
long-‐term
preserva4on
hQps://flic.kr/p/a1ByLR
5. Conflic4ng
Missions
Temporary
Access
• More
resources
available
to
current
students
and
faculty
• Weakens
stewardship
mission
Permanent
Access
• More
costly
• Fewer
resources
for
current
students
and
faculty

but
not
anymore
7. Student
Expecta4ons
• Immediate
access
to
almost
everything
• If
you
can’t
get
it
right
away,
move
on
to
the
next
thing
8. Tradi4onal
Collec4on
Development
• Purchase
books
– At
point
of
publica4on
– At
close
to
list
price
– Made
easier
by
approval
plans
– Ra4onal
– Predictable
• Subscribe
to
journals
– As
they
are
issued
– At
list
price,
then
at
a
discount
as
part
of
the
Big
Deal
Buy
un&l
the
budget

9. Drawbacks
of
the
tradi4onal
model
• Hard
to
acquire
books
retroac4vely
• Difficult
to
access
journal
ar4cles
without
ini4al
subscrip4on
• Lots
of
low
or
no-‐use
material
• A
somewhat
sta4c
collec4on,
augmented
by
interlibrary
loan
• Heavy
duplica4on
of
common
materials
across
libraries
10. Beginnings
of
a
new
model
Started
with
journals
• Shi`
to
access
through
journal
packages
– But
with
perpetual
access
rights
to
some
4tles
• Reliance
on
aggregator
packages
– With
no
perpetual
access
rights
We
now
accept
as
a
given
that
most
of
the
journals
in
our
collec&ons
have
only
temporary
access
rights.
11. New
approaches
for
books
• Demand-‐driven
acquisi4on
of
monographs
– Mostly
ebooks
• Subscrip4on
packages
of
ebooks
• Possible
because
of
print-‐on-‐demand,
decreased
chance
of
books
going
out
of
print,
beQer
used
book
market
Libraries
treat
these
as
supplementary
models
to
tradi&onal
book
buying
13. A
(mostly)
demand-‐driven
collec4on?
• Load
records
into
catalog
– Any
book
with
poten4al
relevance
to
curricular
and
research
focus
of
university
• Subscribe
to
some
4tles
• Purchase
the
right
format
for
the
moment
– POD
– eBook
At
the
moment,
Most
books
not
available
for
local
POD
or
as
ebook
on
DDA
14. What
would
be
necessary
to
expand
DDA?
• All
books
available
as
POD,
ebook
• No
book
ever
goes
out
of
print
• Guaranteed
access
to
not-‐yet-‐purchased
1tles
15. Ensuring
Future
Access
• Por4co,
LOCKSS/CLOCKSS
protect
what
we’ve
already
licensed
• We
need
a
solu4on
to
protect
what
we
have
not
yet
licensed
16. Just
imagine
.
.
.
• ALL
relevant
4tles
available
to
our
students
• Purchase
based
on
use
hQps://flic.kr/p/yNpLa
17. A
demand-‐driven
collec4on
• Confidence
that
a
4tle
will
always
be
available
for
poten&al
purchase
• Demand-‐drive
collec4on
size
bounded
– At
the
lower
end
by
limita4ons
in
academic
quality,
curricular
match
– At
the
upper
end
by
budget

To
what
extent
can
ar4cle-‐level
rental
replace
subscrip4ons
and
the
big
deal?
22. The
Big
Deal
• O`en
a
very
good
deal
• O`en
unaffordable
.
.
.
a
medium
or
small
deal
supplemented
by
ar&cle
rental?

Back
to
that
Stewardship
idea
hQps://flic.kr/p/JYdxr
24. A
Broader
Defini4on
of
Special
Collec4ons
• Rare
books
• Manuscripts
• Archives
• But
also
resources
important
to
the
ins4tu4on
hQps://flic.kr/p/9gvwfF
25. Other
Collec4ons
To
the
extent
possible,
all
material
not
included
in
this
more
expansive
defini4on
of
Special
Collec4ons
will
be
provided
temporarily
• On
demand
• Via
subscrip4on
with
no
post-‐cancella4on
rights
26. Shared
Print
Archiving
• Libraries
will
more
aggressively
decrease
legacy
print
holdings
• Regional,
na4onal
last
copy
policies
and
procedures
• Collabora4ve
prospec4ve
collec4on
building
This
is
one
way
that
libraries
will
fulfill
the
stewardship
mission
27. Expanding
the
scope
of
collec4ons
• Research
support
and
analysis
• Cita4on
management
• Primary
sources
28. Expanding
Even
Further
We
concentrate
our
efforts
on
a
very
small
por4on

30. The
Value
of
Discovery
• The
collec4on
is
– Both
owned
and
unowned
– Physical
and
digital
– Locally,
regionally,
na4onally,
globally
dispersed
• Discovery
is
crucial
hQps://flic.kr/p/ihaMcg
31. Delivery
is
Key
Discovery
only
maQers
if
access
is
immediate
• Local
POD
• Unmediated
ebook,
ar4cle
delivery
replaces
ILL
• Ordering
physical
copies
from
other
libraries
a
last
resort,
but
delivery
will
be
fast
