The CTW Library Consortium, consisting of Connecticut College, Trinity College, and Wesleyan University, implemented a Demand-Driven Acquisitions (DDA) program in 2014 to provide access to ebooks. The program is managed through YBP and provides access to over 15,000 ebook titles through EBL. Each school has its own workflow for managing short-term loans and purchases. The program has faced challenges from rising short-term loan costs and changing publisher policies. Options for addressing these challenges include removing publishers, implementing mediation, or automatically purchasing titles after a certain number of loans. The consortium will conduct a review of the program in 2015 to evaluate the monographic needs not currently met and potential expansion

Embracing Changing Technology and New Technical Services Workflows in Migrati...NASIG
In 2015, Radford University’s McConnell Library migrated to OCLC’s WorldShare Management Services (WMS), relinquishing three legacy systems in the process. As a result, many of the Collection and Technical Services Department’s workflows changed considerably beginning months before the contract was signed. An extensive temporary departmental focus on data clean-up and training was required while maintaining core duties. New opportunities for collaboration and communication emerged. In light of developing new workflows, Core Competencies for Electronic Resources Librarians and Core Competencies for Print Serials Management were consulted in revising positions. This presentation focuses on the process, management, communication and outcomes involved in migrating to a new next-generation library management system.

NASIG 2021 Don't wait automate! Industry perspectives on KBART automationMatthew Ragucci
When trying to manage their electronic resources, librarians spend a significant amount of time in vendor knowledgebases to make sure that content is integrated properly. This is often a tedious and painful process, which--extrapolated out to each content provider--can be a drain on library resources. Thankfully, there is a way to mitigate this pain point, through the use of KBART automation. By using a NISO Recommended Practice, librarians can now have publishers transfer their institutional holdings information directly into vendor knowledgebases. The result is no more messy and time-consuming manual title management.
In this session, we'll hear from those involved with enabling KBART automation at the publisher and vendor level. This will specifically detail the work required to actually make this happen. The case will also be made for library adoption of this feature and how it will help end library headaches related to electronic resources management once and for all. There will be time for questions at the end to discuss the benefits and pitfalls of KBART automation. This session is co-sponsored by the NASIG Standards Committee.

Strong Collections, Controlled Costs: weathering the winter storm through col...The CTW Library Consortium
Can three libraries with different needs and goals successfully work together to build a strong shared collection and contain costs? This talk will highlight the practical aspects of how the CTW Consortium in Connecticut deployed a consortial print approval plan, complementary EBA ebook plans and a fulfillment network in order to save money while building a collection that meets patron needs. CTW, formed in 1987, is a consortium of Connecticut College, Trinity College and Wesleyan University. Each campus has a separate Alma catalog joined to the others through a shared fulfillment network, which allows users at each campus to request book delivery from the other two. Starting in November 2016, the consortium built on this successful service by implementing a shared print approval program that was modeled on a similar program at Colby, Bates and Bowdoin. Each school had its own reasons for sharing print purchases, including the desire to reduce duplication, save funds spent on print, move away from DDA, and lessen the workload of selectors. Since the implementation of the print approval plan, CTW’s institutions have made several big changes, including cancelling DDA programs (at two of the schools) and adding JSTOR and Project Muse EBA plans. For at least one school, the plan has been extremely helpful in making decisions about collection budget reductions. In this talk, speakers will share the current state of the approval plan, along with metrics gathered before and after plan implementation, such as circulation data, planned versus actual expenditures, collection duplication, patron perceptions and selector impressions of the plan. Speakers will also discuss the next steps for the program and grapple with some lingering questions, such as how far the consortium should go toward becoming a truly “shared collection,” and the implications this may hold for reserve services and collection growth.

2014 Nov: Earnestly Attempting to Roll with the Punches: The Impact of Publis...The CTW Library Consortium
For a variety of reasons, libraries have explored new acquisitions models, in particular the use of short-term loans (STLs) and demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) of ebooks. The reasons for embracing these options are diverse: shifting collection development practices, assuring use of purchased materials, coping with lower budgets, offering access to supplementary content, expanding library services, etc. As popular as these options have become, libraries do not undertake implementation lightly. It can be challenging to gain acceptance of the DDA/STL models and achieve a balance with traditional collection development practices. Once a DDA/STL program is in place, it can be a winning situation for libraries and publishers. Libraries can offer access to larger ebook collections than they could buy outright and pay only when content is actually used. Publishers can earn STL fees on titles that would otherwise not have been purchased, and benefit when more titles are made accessible by their customers. When libraries leave DDA titles in place, publishers benefit in terms of fees and purchases that accumulate over the long term.
An equilibrium of sorts was achieved between the new and old. But in May 2014, it was announced that several publishers decided to dramatically increase the cost of STLs for their DDA content, a decision that has caused widespread angst in libraries. Librarians from four small consortia will discuss their very different DDA/STL programs and their before and after scenarios: how DDA was working, steps or plans to address the impact of recent publisher decisions, and why DDA/STLs should remain an acquisitions option. Join us for an open discussion about this overall situation and how it might play out in the long run.
Speakers: Lorraine Huddy (CTW), Susan MacArthur (CBB), Mike Persick (Tri-Colleges), Pamela Skinner (Five Colleges)
To broaden the scope of their consortial collection and embrace new technological possibilities for acquiring ebooks, the CTW Library Consortium of Connecticut is piloting a patron-driven acquisitions model. Come to this Lively Lunch to learn about this project -- why it was implemented, the criteria used for making consortial decisions, and how this cooperative effort is working so far. Then take this opportunity to share your PDA
experiences with colleagues. Discuss what’s working well (or not!) and brainstorm how the model could be improved to make it a sustainable option for libraries’ long term collection development needs.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

27. Expanded DDA Plan in place for
approximately a year
DDA Plan a misnomer?
Really functions as a STL
(Short-term loan) plan
Majority of activity & costs for Wesleyan
DDA purchases: 26Costs: $1,793
STL instances: 514Costs: $8,721
28. Wesleyan currently utilizes YBP for:
1) primary selection tool (Gobi), representing our local holdings
2) large majority of our print orders
3) bibliographic records for print material (PromptCat)
4) marking / stamping / security-stripping
5) our consortial purchasing data (including DDA plan)
Straightforward decision to also utilize YBP for supplied ebooks:
6) Discovery DDA records
7) DDA purchase bibliographic records
8) Firm order ebook bibliographic records
DDA Bibliographic Record Management
29. • DDA Discovery records from YBP
manually loaded into Voyager ILS
• Weekly files, minimal edits
30. • Wesleyan utilizes Summon
from Serials Solutions for
a discovery layer, OneSearch
• Library still acclimating,
continued reliance on
traditional ILS
31. Patron triggers STL
EBL sends notification the same day
Helpful for keeping tabs on overall DDA plan activity
32. • STL invoices billed
weekly by YBP
• Already paid via our
deposit account
• Manually entered into
ILS (Voyager)
• Entered only as
invoices with service
charges (no purchase
orders created)
• One fund for both STLs
& DDA purchases
• ISBNs are noted
34. • New bibliographic record available within a week from YBP, containing local data
• Discovery DDA record still functions in the interim
• Notice of availability from YBP, manually pick up via FTP
• Manually import, overlaying Discovery record
• Manually create purchase order(s) & invoice for payment
35. Possible improvements from YBP…
1. EDI for STL invoices & DDA Purchases….Please!
2. More transparent DDA data in Gobi
36. Changes in Wesleyan’s DDA workflow over the past year:
1. Are locally edited Discovery records more efficient for DDA purchases? Do we
really need 2nd new bib records from YBP?
2. Automate cataloging loads for DDA purchases
3. Automate purchase order creation for DDA purchases
4. Still manually enter invoice records for both DDA purchases & STLs, also delete
original DDA Discovery records
5. Currently exploring EBL metadata uploads directly into our OneSearch discovery
layer (Serials Solutions’ Summon)
• Not currently a viable substitute for bibliographic records in our ILS
• Would enhance discoverability by patrons
• Our future workflow?
41. Example of an Ideal Scenario
Ebrary Academic Complete Subscription
The library has access to the complete list of
titles in the collection.
Firm order/Perpetual Access titles are also
fully automated in a parallel track.

Options For Discovery Records
1. EBL records Poor quality
2. YBP records Better
3. OCLC Collection Manager records Generally good quality
+ additional benefits
49. EBL OCLC

Benefits of Collection Manager
• Free with OCLC Cataloging subscription
• Single source and workflow for records
- Single workflow for DDA & subscription record management
- Can set the same customizations and delivery frequency
• Merges duplicates with subscription collections (Ebrary, EBSCO)
50. Two collections in the Knowledge Base:
1. Unpurchased books (discovery records)
2. EBL purchases
51. Things to be aware of
Pros outweigh cons… but,
• Slightly delayed updates
• Worldcat problems = Your problems (though most often found
and corrected)
• No separate delete file for merged OCLC #’s
– Need a process to handle merges
52. 1. Cataloger: Loads discovery records via Collection Mgr (monthly)
2. Patron: Discovers and interacts with ebook, triggers STL
3. EBL: Emails “Short Term Loan alert”
4. YBP: Sends paper invoice for STLs (weekly)
5. Acq: - Receives invoice & processes (YBP deposit account)
- Creates Voyager P.O., attaches Voyager invoice/line item
to discovery record
[Repeat above until purchase is triggered]
Connecticut College DDA Workflow
53. 6. Patron: Interacts with ebook final time, triggering purchase
7. EBL: -Emails notification of purchase –"Autopurchase Alert“
-Sends update to OCLC KB for purchased record
8. Cataloger: -Retrieves purchased record from Collection Mgr
-Overlays discovery record
9. YBP: Issues invoice for purchase price of item(s)
10. Acq: -Processes invoice for payment
-Locates Bib record and attaches P.O. with invoice(s)

Editor's Notes
CTW’s combined FTE is ~ 7000 undergraduate students;
Trinity and Wesleyan’s Graduate programs - account for ~450 FTE
History of shared collection development –
Selectors use GOBItween to see what colleagues have purchased and avoid duplication if possible.
The libraries have shared an ILS since the mid-80s;
When a resource is of interest to everyone, we try to negotiate consortial pricing with the vendor.
The libraries experimented with YBP auto-ship plans but canceled them Wesleyan: has an Art Title auto-ship/ approval plan with Worldwide; annual allocation = approx. $12K
In essence, our DDA program is our auto-ship plan – it guarantees students & faculty will have access to titles that weren’t firm-ordered.
This list represents why DDA and STLs are important to the CTW consortium.
Some are also being experienced by the my co-presenters’ institutions/consortia, but some are unique to CTW.
In the next few slides, I’ll cover some Realities and Considerations for the CTW libraries
– these should provide some context for each of these
Budgets: Despite steady tuition increases, the libraries’ monographic budgets have not increased accordingly.
Overall, our budgets are 41% lower than in AY 2008
More stable but lower budgets now prevail
The continuous, rising costs of Serials & eResources,
-- demand an ever growing slice of CTW’s acquisition pie.
The slice for Books has decreased by 12% since FY 2008
CTW’s Monographic Budgets have dropped 41% overall –
Not only due to budget cuts,
but also to re-allocations to help pay for Serials & eResources
Recent discussions with journal vendors indicate they expect journal prices to continue rising at a minimum of 3% per year.
Are pricing practices discussed across the divisions of a publishing house? What’s the potential impact on the entire company?
In CTW’s case – flat budgets = cut backs or cancellations
We started a new DDA program for several reasons:
Try the STL model: decrease likelihood that we’d purchase titles with insignificant use (one page views)
Integration with YBP/GOBI
Allowed selectors add titles of their choosing to the DDA pool.
After a year, only 2000 titles had been added by selectors, we opted to try YBP’s automation and DDA profile.
This was a good move in terms of the collection size and overall quality of titles being offering.
We’ve triggered a few gasp-worthy STL fees
$94.50 for a 7 day loan vs. same title $19 - only 2 months before
But NO complaints about average STL fees
from Sept 2012 – May 2014: $13.88 for a 7 day loan
But things have changed…
An exclusively electronic library Acquisitions model commonly called:
Demand Driven Acquisitons (DDA) or
Patron Driven Acquisitions (PDA)
Basic concept is that the library gains access to an increased volume of material, but only pay for what is actually used.
Library selectors establish a profile that governs which types of materials the library will receive (e.g. date, price, publisher limits).
The platform generates a pool of MARC discovery records based on the content profile which are then loaded into the library catalog waiting for patrons to discover and interact with them.
Extended interaction triggers a short term loan (STL), for which there is a charge; varies by publisher.
A certain number of loans (set by participating library) triggers an auto-purchase of the eBook.
NonLinear Lending: Per copy purchased, 325 loan instances per year, renewing each year.
Heavy concurrent use could exhaust those loan instances in a shorter period of time.
will give overview how program is set up between EBL, YPB and our consortium.later we will each present local workflows and individual issues we have encounteredTwo things SPECIAL about CTW setup1.share pool not purchases -- each triggers own2.three sep. databasesVuFind layer = consortial catalog individual catalogsis reason why workflows vary
starting with EBL --1st role = manage triggers (short term loans and auto-purchases)
STL triggers
*Same across CTW
*Browse over 5 min.
*Any printing, downloading or copying
Auto-purchase triggers
*individually set
*Trinity = 2 STLs, with auto-purchase on 3rd use*Conn + Wesleyan = 3 STLs, with auto-purchase on 4th use
EBL also provides options for cost control STL price capsLoans vary by publisher, some $$$. Price caps help prevent $$$ loans accumulating.Two options* mediated option = if STL above pricepoint, email sent staff may approve, deny, or purchase
Trinity = $40 -- Wesleyan= $50
Disadvantage patron wait
*STL Bypass Option
STL above a pricepoint, purchase immediately triggered currently CC only = 35% of list price
EBL record deduplication servicede-duplicates against our Ebrary A.C. & EBSCO eBook subscriptions(to which all 3 CTW libraries subscribe)We upload holdings 2 or 3 times per year.EBL matches against DDA pool generates delete file sent to catalogersThey reimburse charges to EBL titles also in Ebrary A.C.
since both Ebrary & EBL are now Proquest entities.
Both EBL and YBP provide their own discovery records
(records for unpurchased titles)
There are other options – we’ve each chosen a different approach
Will discuss later
Turning to YBP (in addition to providing discovery records)
1. Manage the DDA profile
2. Provide special tools within the GOBI ordering system
4. Manage invoicing & payments
In beginning, CollDev. Librs met to determine a content profile - support curricula of all 3 schools
-Subject parms were established based on LC classes & subclasses, incl. interdisciplinary topics
- included university presses & a select list of academic publishers
- Chose date parm publ. 2008-
- English language only
- Exclude certain publ. types not amenable to ebooks
- mediate auto-purchases over $200 *Publishers List prices often increased by publisher over time. May enter pool below $200 but later raise above. Aaron will discuss this issue more later
YBP manages invoicing and payments
YBP invoices libraries individually
NOT paid from a consortial account
--paid out of individual libraries’ budgets & accounts
YBP separates STLs and purchases onto diff. invoices--both paid from same YBP subaccount
finally, YBP special tools thru GOBI online ordering system.1. DDA data in GOBItween interface
When title added (discovery record) Library History: “EBL DDA Record Sent”
--tells selectors record active in DDA pool.
2. Provision for ordering outside of profile

Strengths of the SerSol Platform
Creates a single stream of records from multiple collections/subscriptions.
Merges access points into one MARC record for title overlap across collections.
Library can set record customizations and distribution frequency.
Some collection updates are completely automated as providers feed updates into KB.
Selection profiles narrow the title access to a subset of the full collection on offer.
Discovery record pool is very fluid and constantly fluctuating in record count.
To date, there is no viable automation or direct feed from EBL database to SerSol platform. Partially due to our consortial setup.
Biweekly, check the EBL LibCentral databse to retrieve the most up-to-date title list of all “Visible” titles: discovery and purchased.
Download a CSV file populated with metadata.
The direct URL for each eBook will become the match point in the SerSol KB since it contains a unique book ID #.
http://trincoll.eblib.com/patron/FullRecord.aspx?p=1118497
Modify the URL into a syntax the Serials Solutions’ matching algorithms will recognize.
Modify the URL into a syntax the Serials Solutions’ matching algorithms will recognize.
Populate the SerSol ODSE template with the modified URLs and switch all other data elements (e.g. title, ISBN) to neutral values.
In the SerSol KB deselect all currently active titles then upload the ODSE file to the server for processing.
Will discuss CC’s approach to DDA management.
notice workflows at each library have taken different turn. -
Because (reiterating)
-3 separate catalogs
-auto-purchases not shared consortially - each school triggers its own purchases
– means we are each free to develop our own procedures.
For discovery records – we had a few options:
EBL = unacceptable quality
examples: -improperly formatted content notes + subject fields
-problems w/ 520 field summaries often cut off mid-word/sentence
2) YBP = “acceptable quality” -- have issues (mentioned prev.):
they are converted print records with 533 fields
no OCLC #’s
- require manual customization
3) Other options exist – Todd talked about one (360)
We chose to channel records thru OCLC Collection Manager
CM uses records from WorldCat
Recs generally good quality + additional benefits which I will discuss next
CM free with cataloging subscription = easy to experiment with
To start asked EBL deliver weekly feed to OCLC KB
After: KB now knows which titles= discovery pool and =purchased collection
We are also using CM for Ebrary and EBSCO subscr. = opens up a variety of benefits.
single workflow for DDA & subscr. ebook collections - adds/updates/deletes processed together
Single record for title overlap where same in EBL, Ebrary & EBSCO = single rec w/ multiple URLs
This has reduced duplicate & triplicate recs, which was a big concern for public services
We also reorder 856 fields EBL displays below any others
try to steer patrons away from DDA link when in other collections
(mentioned) CC= two EBL collections in KB -- discovery recs and purchases
can see recs OCLC thinks we should have anytime.
also tools to manually add / remove titles from KB collections
Our current configuration:
Discovery recs monthly, merged file
Purchased recs: weekly
CC now uses CM for all DDA rec mgmnt, with one exception:
large delete files issued by EBL manually processed ASAP
things to be aware of (pros outweigh the cons, but):
*Keep the delay in record changes in mind:-slight lag time btwn EBL update and KB to process
(may be off by a few weeks)
*Recs susceptible to any problems in WorldCat,
e.g, dups for same title, or other cataloging problems.
-when corrected in, re-sent as in Update file*Lastly, when dup recs merged in WorldCat, invalid records not sent in delete file
- need to run a separate process (MarcEdit & Access) find 035$z’s in merged recs & batch delete
I’ll close this section with something of a workflow sequence for Connecticut College DDA.
1. Cataloger: Loads discovery records via OCLC Collection Manager (monthly)
2. Patron: Discovers catalog record and interacts with ebook, triggering STL Due to our price cap, if STL >=35% list price, title is auto-purchased
3. EBL: Emails “Short Term Loan alert” each time an STL is triggered
4. YBP: Sends paper invoice for STL charges (sent weekly)
5. Acq: - Receives invoice & processes for payment YBP deposit account
- Creates PO in Voyager; attaches invoice & line item to the discovery record for each STL (later we will create a separate P.O. once a title has been purchased)
--These steps repeat until auto-purchase is triggered --
6. Patron: Interacts with ebook final time, triggering purchase
7. EBL: Emails notification of purchase –"Autopurchase Alert"
8. Cataloger: Retrieves a record from the EBL purchased collection in Collection Manager / overlays the discovery record
9. YBP: Issues invoice for purchase price of item(s)
10. Acq: -Processes invoice for payment
-Creates new PO, and attaches to purchased record
This slide is provided if any of you want to learn more about Collection Manager and the OCLC Knowldege Base, and specifically how they can help with DDA.
It is worth noting the considerable change in the vendor landscape, from the time of our DDA expansion profile arrangement, EBL merged with Ebrary, one of the other major ebook providers we considered for DDA plan.
