Presentation at I-SPIE Conference on implementation of how ILL fits with Collection Development/Management and on the implementation of an on-demand service through Interlibrary Loan / Document Delivery.
Weeding is the process of removing materials from a library collection that are no longer useful or relevant. It is necessary to keep collections current and ensure materials are circulating, but it can be a time-consuming and controversial process. Common fears about weeding include it being viewed as throwing away books or making mistakes in decisions. When weeding, factors like currency, circulation, condition, duplication and format obsolescence should be considered. Materials removed may be donated, recycled or sold to generate revenue. Weeding helps free up space and staff time while ensuring the collection meets the needs of its users.
The document discusses perspectives on consortial e-book acquisitions from librarians, publishers, and vendors. It summarizes findings from analyzing e-book purchasing data from three universities. Key points of agreement and disagreement between stakeholders are outlined regarding flexible acquisition options, usage data, and resource sharing models. Current realities of consortia patron-driven acquisition models are also presented.
Libraries Leading the Way on the 'Textbook Problem'Greg Raschke
Libraries are taking a leading role in addressing the high cost of textbooks by developing expertise in alternative textbook models. They are advocating for affordable options, educating faculty on alternatives, and directly supporting the creation and hosting of open educational resources. Some libraries purchase one copy of each required textbook and partner with bookstores. However, they are now putting more effort into transforming the textbook market by licensing and hosting open textbooks online, providing print-on-demand options, and working with companies developing new affordable textbook models.
The document discusses research libraries adapting to changes in scholarly information practices and the role of print collections. As online resources grow, libraries face pressure to optimize print collection management. Consolidating holdings within and across institutions can reduce costs and redundancies by creating economies of scale. However, essential infrastructure is lacking for cooperative print management.

Redefining Academic Library Roles: How Trends in Higher Education are Drivin...Constance Malpas
This document summarizes a presentation about how trends in higher education are driving changes in academic libraries and library roles. It outlines trends like increasing stratification of institutions, fiscal constraints, adoption of new technologies, and more emphasis on student success. These trends are pushing libraries to adopt new roles in areas like digital scholarship, coordinated collections management, learning analytics, and facilitating adaptive and competency-based learning. New library roles and operational models will vary depending on the type of institution, with elite universities retaining distinctive services while others rely more on shared resources and commercial options.

This document summarizes findings from faculty surveys about use of scholarly monographs. It finds that monographs remain very important to researchers, especially in humanities. While e-book usage is growing, print still dominates for in-depth reading. Searching and skimming are easier digitally. Over time more believe e-books could replace print, though humanities remain less convinced. The document also notes historians' heavy reliance on Google Books for discovery and access.
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.

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.

This document discusses the relationship between libraries and publishers. It begins by outlining how libraries currently determine value for content like subscriptions and document delivery options. It then discusses a pilot project at the University of Utah using ReadCube access which found it to be more cost effective than traditional options for some journals. The document advocates for collaboration between libraries and publishers to better establish value through metrics like cost per download and use of local citation data. Multiple library representatives provide perspectives, emphasizing the need to position libraries and publishers as partners rather than buyers and sellers.
Lecture presented by Fernan R. Dizon at PAARL's Summer Conference on the theme "Library Analytics: Data-driven Library Management", held at Pearl Hotel, Manila on 20-22 April 2016
This survey of 1,427 K-12 school libraries in the U.S. found that while ebook adoption is growing, the majority (60%) of school libraries still do not offer ebooks. Among libraries that do offer ebooks, collections have grown substantially from a mean of 49 ebooks in 2010 to 725 ebooks in 2012. Ebook circulation also increased, averaging 421 checkouts in 2010-2011. However, limited access to e-reading devices remains a major barrier to ebook consumption. On average, school libraries spent $1,200 on ebooks in 2011-2012, representing 2.2% of materials budgets. While ebook usage is expected to continue growing, budgets and licensing/pricing

Cloud Library: Precipitating change in library infrastructureOCLC Research
The document discusses the emergence of shared digital repositories and shared print repositories, which create new opportunities for research institutions through operational efficiencies. It requires developing new infrastructure to manage, monitor, and utilize shared services from these cloud libraries. Specifically, the document proposes a plan to analyze the potential benefits of a research institution relying more on shared print repositories like ReCAP and digital repositories like HathiTrust to store and access collections. This could reduce local physical collections and costs if appropriate service agreements and reliability of access to the shared collections can be established.

When Rubber Meets the Road: Rethinking Your Library Collections by Roger Scho...Charleston Conference
This document summarizes a presentation given by Roger C. Schonfeld at the Charleston Conference on rethinking library collections. Schonfeld discusses how user needs are shifting away from print journals towards electronic formats. While user needs are changing, print collections still need to be preserved. Library collaborations can help reduce costs by ensuring at least one print copy is preserved while giving libraries more flexibility in managing local print collections. Schonfeld proposes a risk-informed, research-based approach to categorize materials based on their preservation needs and determine optimal levels of print preservation.

Collection Building In The School Library Media CenterLori Franklin
The document discusses the process of collection building in a school library media center. It outlines steps like developing a collection policy, mapping existing collections, selecting new materials based on curriculum needs and reviews, maintaining budgets, weeding outdated items, and recordkeeping to track usage and inform future purchasing. The goal is to provide students with diverse, high-quality resources in various formats to meet research and personal interests.
This document summarizes Jason Price's presentation on the ever-evolving nature of ebooks. It discusses several topics, including ebook discoverability and the maze-like nature of finding ebooks. It also examines ebook platform characteristics, different acquisition models, the impact on scholarly communication, digital rights management challenges for interlibrary loan and consortial sharing, and one potential vision for the future of ebooks.
The document discusses issues that librarians face with the rise of digital resources, including demands on acquisition and patron needs changing quickly. It also covers challenges users face with different e-book platforms being inconsistent and not always intuitive. The reviewer evaluates several selection tools and databases, finding the Children's Literature Comprehensive Database easiest to navigate due to its extensive search options and additional resources. Follett's Titlewave is also praised for its collection analysis and ability to order pre-planned makerspace bundles.
In a time of ever increasing physical collection space shortages and rapidly evolving higher education institutions, a holistic understanding of the collection lifecycle as well as a strategic approach to collection development and retention as well as stakeholder engagement is needed. Some struggle with what materials to withdraw, especially if there is faculty opposition and how to move forward collaboratively. Leveraging the experience of leading the local culture shift in a large Association of Research Library, the principles, policies and methods required to shift mental models towards what must be retained, facilitating withdrawal decisions, and connecting collection development with ongoing collection management will be explored.
Audience members will leave with:
• An understanding of why collection lifecycle management may be beneficial
• key questions to ask themselves and colleagues when wanting to shift to collection lifecycle management
• an understanding of how existing policies and high-level workflows feed into the collection lifecycle management approach
• an understanding of the practical aspects of implementation,
• a link to a toolkit with policy templates, guides on collection evaluation and stakeholder engagement.

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 discusses a study assessing the printed book collection at the Santee Branch Library to determine if it is meeting user needs. The study will survey library card holders in Santee to identify any areas where the collection is lacking. Results will be analyzed using qualitative and quantitative methods to provide feedback to improve the collection and better serve the community. The goal is to ensure the library maintains a collection that patrons find relevant and can discover new materials to browse.
The document provides an environmental scan of issues impacting academic libraries in 2015. It discusses trends in higher education including rising costs, decreased funding, and new technology-driven models. It also summarizes key issues for libraries regarding collections like e-books and demand-driven acquisition, streaming media, textbooks, and collaborative print management. The scan emphasizes libraries' evolving role in providing access to new forms of scholarship and assessing collections in light of metrics beyond traditional ownership.

Copac: Reengineering the UK national academic union catalogue to serve the 21...Joy Palmer
The document summarizes several projects related to improving the UK national academic union catalogue Copac. It discusses redesigning Copac to better serve 21st century researchers, developing tools to analyze library collections using Copac data, and a project called Surfacing the Academic Long Tail that uses circulation data to recommend lesser-used materials to humanities researchers. It provides updates on the progress of these projects and discusses strategic issues and next steps to further develop the tools and assess their sustainability and value.
The document discusses the transition from print to digital libraries and ebooks. It notes that the amount of published information has vastly increased, making it difficult for individuals to read everything relevant. Modern libraries and users now face changes in content, technology, and research methods. The document then examines trends in ebook usage, features like embedded references and images, and tools that help researchers. It analyzes different ebook purchasing models such as ownership, access fees, working with publishers or aggregators, and demand-driven or usage-driven collection options. Case studies show predicting usage is difficult and access to broader collections provides more value.
This document discusses the selection of materials for school library collections. It defines selection as maintaining a balanced collection by adding new materials and removing outdated ones. There are three basic selection philosophies: liberal, traditional, and pluralistic. A selection policy guides the process, outlining the scope, criteria, and procedures for adding and removing items. Selection responsibility typically falls to library media specialists. General criteria include subject coverage, demand, quality and balance. Selection tools that aid the process include review sources, bibliographies, and recommended lists. The goal is to select materials that meet community needs and support the school's educational goals.
1) Selection is the process of deciding which materials to add to a library collection based on reviews and tools by subject specialists. Acquisitions is the process of selecting, ordering, and receiving materials through various means.
2) While selection focuses on choosing titles, acquisitions involves confirming details, locating items, ordering, processing materials upon arrival, and record keeping.
3) An effective selection process requires collaboration between librarians and teachers, use of criteria and reviews, and consideration of community needs, while avoiding censorship.
Exploring the Online Information-seeking Strategies of Education Graduate Stu...Wil Weston
This paper is the result of a recent exploratory study completed in November 2013, which examines how education graduate students at San Diego State University (SDSU) seek information online. Understanding this group’s online research and information-seeking strategies are critical when one considers that these future graduates will be occupying leadership positions in education and determining educational policy. How they evaluate information resources will impact policy and determine the importance they place on specific informational resources. Discovering the strategies utilized by these graduate students in their information seeking behavior will provide insight into the use of online resources and broader information seeking-strategies.
Leveraging Collection Development and Acquisitions in the Interlibrary Loan ...Wil Weston
This document discusses leveraging interlibrary loan (ILL) data and workflows to inform collection development decisions and meet patron needs. Specifically:
- ILL data on requested articles and monographs can help identify subjects and titles to potentially add to the local collection, track usage trends over time, and determine when relying on ILL is sufficient versus developing collections.
- "Patron-driven acquisition" models are proposed where materials requested through ILL above a certain threshold or meeting other criteria are automatically purchased rather than borrowed, based on guidelines set by ILL and collection development.
- Software addons like GIST and GOBI are highlighted that can help automate the ILL purchase-on-demand workflow while still
The document identifies the top ten trends in academic libraries according to the ACRL Research Planning and Review Committee in 2012. The trends include communicating the value of libraries, data curation, digital preservation, shifts in higher education, the growing role of information technology, increasing use of mobile devices, patron-driven e-book acquisition, evolving models of scholarly communication, developing staff to meet new challenges, and changing user behaviors and expectations.
Integrative Role of a Library for UndergraduatesWil Weston
This was my ACRL Presentation in Seattle, WA in March. It is a shorter version of my doctorial work and focused more to a library and information science audience.
1) The document discusses using Boolean operators such as AND, OR, and NOT to search for specific pizza toppings at Vinny Diagram's Pizza Buffet where the pizzas are oddly shaped and sometimes merged together.
2) AND requires both search terms to be present, OR allows either term, and NOT excludes the term after it.
3) For example, using AND would find a middle slice with pepperoni and sausage, OR would accept any slice, and NOT would avoid slices with anchovies.
Library Student Workers and their Acacemic and Social IntegrationWil Weston
UNDERSTANDING THE INTEGRATIVE ROLE OF AN ACADEMIC LIBRARY FOR UNDERGRADUATE LIBRARY STUDENT WORKERS. This study explored how undergraduate library student workers at an urban, 4-year public institution perceived their work experiences in an academic library as contributing to their social and academic integration in college. Tinto’s (1993) model on student departure formed the basis for this study where academic and social integration work together to influence institutional commitments ultimately leading to the decision to remain or leave the college. Undergraduate library student workers from various library departments were interviewed and it is from these interviews that a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of an academic library’s effect on undergraduate library student workers was gained. The study revealed that the undergraduate library student workers perceived experiencing many socially integrative and academically integrative experiences which they would not have had were they not employed in an academic library. After the data are discussed, the theoretical implications, policy implications, and suggestions for further research are offered.
This was a presentation that I gave to a group of librarians here at SDSU. It was an opportunity to present my arguments why I believe that the library needs to seriously consider games and gaming technology.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

Interlibrary Loan and Collection Development.
Kimberley Robles Smith, CSU Fresno
Wil Weston, SDSU
Holistic in nature of library services.
Departments and Units are interdependent. A change in practice, policy, or procedure in one will impact
the activities and work in another.
ILL’s increased role in data driven model of collection development/management.
How ILL can inform Collection Development/Management? Monitoring journal articles and monographs
requested. Examine at the title level, but also looking for trends at the subject level as well. What
constitutes a trend? Generally, at SDSU, over 3-5 years of use data depicting a consistent change in
use; any analysis must be done in concert with the library subject specialist – things that can impact
these trends new grant funding, new tenure track faculty, graduate student masters and dissertation
topics, etc.
Using ILL data to track usage/movement of subject areas within the collection? Is there the need to
further develop the collection in a subject area and when is relying on ILL appropriate? New programs
created where the collection is not adequate. For example: LGBTQ Studies Program here at SDSU is a
brand new program here. Establishing these benchmarks for your library is critical.
PDA and DDA; Patron Driven or Demand Driven Acquisition of material through ILL.
Collection Development/ILL to purchase on demand. (1998, Purdue and Univ. of Wisconsin-Madison)
A rough outline of a Patron Driven Acquisitions model for ILL.
3. What is Patron Driven or
On Demand?
Isn’t all collection development patron-driven? Shouldn’t patrons be selecting everything? Broader
view of the collections (research/reference works, curriculum analysis particularly for undergraduate
education, use of filters on PDA/DDA – resulting in an entire library of comic books and vampire novels.)
What will the collection look like, will be damaging the integrity of the research collection? We know
that there is no way we can collect everything (Maybe Harvard still can?). It is our responsibility to provide
what is needed. Selective collection building.
Will it save money? No. Sorry… it may even cost more money at first. But, a study at Purdue back in
1998 indicated that On Demand ILL purchases circulated at least 3-4 times more after the purchase.
Example of existing PDA/DDA: Recently trialed (2yrs ago) Coutts, ebrary, and EBL through the SDLC
(CSU consortia). Perhaps, your CSU has a similar existing program.
4. Acquisition of material through ILL.:
MONOGRAPHS
On-demand collection development.
ILL and Collection Development establish guidelines that will drive the decision to
purchase rather than to borrow a book requested through ILL.
Generally the guidelines for ILL would look something like this:
Interlibrary Loan attempts to borrow a book. For instance, 15 potential lenders
fail to loan the book; or other criteria based on subject (LGBTQ or Gender
Studies subject area for example at SDSU)
If the title meets purchase criteria:
1. Scholarly works in English;
2. published within the past five years;
3. available for shipment within one week;
4. maximum cost of $150.
The ILL Department forwards ILL request to the Acquisitions department or
places order like a subject bibliographer would.
This process tends to work really well for books in the Humanities and
the Social Sciences.
5. Acquisition of material through ILL.:
MONOGRAPHS
Other criteria worth considering:
More than three requests of a particular item, triggers an Acquisitions.
No older than a publication date of 10 years, older than 10 years
disqualifies for acquisition.
In a 1984 study (Roberts & Cameron) found that a “considerable proportion of book ILLs consisted of
recent, inexpensive in-print items, rarely outside the immediate subject interest of the requesting faculty”.
That over 50 percent of the ILLs were published during the previous six years. A more recent study
(Ruppel, 2004) found that 68 percent were published within the last 3 years at her institution.
What if the book is an ebook? Can we rely on cost to determine acquisition
and still remain format neutral? Only purchase paper as part of ILL on-
demand?
In a 2012 study (Link, Tosaka, Weng) found that “e-book content that might meet users' needs was not
uniformly distributed across disciplines and that more recent publications were more likely to have e-book
equivalents.” Additionally, many book titles requested via ILL had ebook equivalents, suggesting that this
might be the best place to begin e-book collecting. Never-the-less, the results of this 2012 study (Link,
Tosaka, Weng) suggested that e-books may meet only a fraction of the demand for monographic scholarly
output and noted that libraries cannot yet rely on e-book content to entirely supplant print, although e-book
coverage is growing dramatically.

Manual, entirely human mediated.
Set policy and triggers for purchase with Collection
development and bibliographers and work into ILL
procedures.
Simply establish an Acquisitions profile (like a
bibliographer) for monographic acquisitions. (GOBI)

GIST manages a single ILL purchase on demand fund to
large sets of collection development funds.
Enable purchasing where ILL requests for materials not
held in your consortia but fit your collection building profile.
(Where ILL very much fits in with Collection Development)
Works with Amazon. But, also works with GOBI which is
YBP’s acquisitions interface.
GOBI addon
Manage the fund through existing acquisitions processes
and software. Just utilize the Gobi addon for on-demand.

In this model, ILL or access services librarians, in collaboration with their libraries’ bibliographers and collection development, agree on guidelines that will drive the decision to purchase rather than to borrow a book requested through ILL. The Head of Collection Development designates funds specifically for this purpose. The ILL or acquisitions staff usually establish systems to track the titles purchased for later analysis. Since the late 1990’s there have been many local variations on the actual implementation of these purchasing programs. Differences include the amount of funding; the selection criteria; the degree of involvement by technical services in the pre- and post-order process; the evaluation criteria; etc...
Generally the guidelines for ILL would look something like this:
Interlibrary Loan attempts to borrow a book. Five potential lenders fail to loan the book; or other criteria based on subject (LGBTQ or Gender Studies subject area for example at SDSU)
If the title meets purchase criteria:
The public services group agreed to the following purchasing criteria:
1.Scholarly works in English;
2. published within the past five years;
3. available for shipment within one week;
4. maximum cost of $150.
The ILL Department forwards ILL request to the Acquisitions department.
As you might guess, this process tends to work really well for books in the Humanities and the Social Sciences. At the 150 dollar threshold, there are very few Science and Applied Science titles purchased.
