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.

Library review: improving back-of-house processes through richer integrations (Richard Cross, Nottingham Trent University)
How far can Talis develop back-of-house integrations joining Aspire to other local library and information systems, and how much integration will customers need to develop for themselves? This session presents an outline of the technical developments being planned at Nottingham Trent University to integrate Review data in Aspire with other sources of library data and intelligence, to improve informed, process-driven acquisitions decision-making. Does our thinking make sense? Does it sound technically feasible? Is this work that customers should expect Talis to deliver for us, or will customised acquisitions' integrations be something for customers to self-manage?
At the end of this module, learners will be able to; search within the system to locate specific OER, organize resources using libraries, and evaluate resources using the IOER tools.

Facing our e-demons: challenges of e-serial management in a large academic li...NASIG
As electronic serials have shifted from being the exception to the norm, libraries are becoming increasingly reliant on knowledge base driven systems to help manage their electronic resource holdings. In 2011, after over a decade of managing e-serials within a local database, the University of Toronto Libraries migrated its electronic serial holdings to a fully integrated commercial e-resource management system. Now, with two years of experience under our belts, we endeavored to take stock and analyze how our library is coping with e-serial management within this new environment. How accurate are our e-journal holding statements within the ERM? How effective are we at managing e-serial title changes? How well are we tracking journal purchases that fall outside of the big package deals? Throughout this study, we have encountered many of the benefits and pitfalls of managing electronic journals within a knowledge base-driven system. While using a commercial ERM and companion MARC record service has allowed the library to present better data to users and expose previously hidden collections, there are several new challenges that we must contend with in a knowledge base environment. A common issue hindering access to our e-journals is the supply of incorrect, outdated or incomplete metadata within the data supply chain. These metadata problems have a detrimental effect on libraries, and consequently on our users, as it affects the accuracy of our e-journal holdings within our e-resource inventories. Although the study began as an internal investigation of our e-serials management practices and workflows, the results highlight the need for greater standardization within the data supply chain, better communication with publishers and knowledge base providers, and increased collaboration to improve the e-resource management process.

Since the early days of e-resource management, holdings maintenance for electronic resources has been a very time consuming and manual process. While the emergence of electronic resource management systems (ERMS) has improved this process to a significant extent, holdings maintenance tasks remain labor intensive due to the increased volume of electronic content to manage, as well as issues related to metadata quality. To ameliorate many of the problems associated with managing electronic resources, and in recognition of a need for greater accuracy and efficiency, some knowledgebase providers are beginning to offer libraries options to automate holdings maintenance for electronic resources. In 2014, OCLC developed a service to provide automated holdings management for a select group of content providers. Within the WorldCat knowledge base system, library specific holdings for e-book and e-serial collections can be managed within the knowledge base without the need for library staff to manually intervene. At the University of Toronto Libraries, we decided to take OCLC's automated holdings management service for a test-drive. For three vendor packages, we conducted an on-going comparison between the library's holdings list and the title listing supplied by the automated service. This presentation will outline the results of this investigation, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of automated holdings maintenance. The talk will also provide a vision of what the automated holdings management service could look like in the future.

This webinar will provide an overview of the current work undertaken to re-write the techniques for electronic resource management with the incorporation of open access workflow management. This overview will provide insight into the key areas under exploration and outline the feedback compiled from the two interactive sessions held at the UKSG Annual Conference. We will also talk about the next steps we undertake to share the development of this project.
*Updated and reorganised following feedback in the breakouts*
While many librarians have developed mechanisms and
structures for managing local scholarship separate from
their standard resource management practices, the
intersection of the two content streams is occurring at
many institutions. During the past decade the presenters
have dedicated themselves to capturing best practices
of electronic resource management and mapping out
paths for creating open access workflows. Join them for a
lively discussion and interactive session where they outline
ways to bring these two initiatives together and identify the
teams needed.

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.
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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

2. Goals
• Develop a flexible model for DDA that works
for publishers, vendors, aggregators, and
libraries.
• Model should allow for DDA programs that
– Meet local budget and collection needs
– Allow for consortial participation
– Support cross-aggregator implementation
– Account for how DDA impacts all functional areas of
the library
3. Timeline
• Appointment of working group
• Information gathering
– Main survey completed
– Interviews

6. 1. Establishing Goals
• Four Broad Goals for DDA
– Saving Money
– Spending The Same Amount of Money More
Wisely
– Providing Broader Access
– Building a Permanent Collection via Patron Input
7. Saving Money
• Providing access to fewer books
• Emphasizing temporary access (STLs) over
perpetual access (purchasing)
• In evidence-based programs, having a higher
usage threshold prior to purchase
8. Spending Same Amount More Wisely
• Larger pool of titles, emphasis on temporary
access
• Smaller pool of titles, emphasis on perpetual
access
9. Providing Broader Access
• Most expansive pool possible
• Emphasizing STLs over perpetual access
• In evidence-based programs, having a higher
usage threshold prior to purchase
10. Building a Permanent Collection
via Patron Input
• Having a tightly-focused profile/smaller
consideration pool
• Emphasizing perpetual access over STLs
• In evidence-based programs, having a lower
usage threshold prior to purchase
11. 2. Choosing Content to Make Available
• Important Issues
– Not all p-books available as e-books
– No single supplier provides all e-books
– Not all e-books available via DDA or under same models
• Therefore
– More comprehensive coverage requires more suppliers
and more models
– Broadest coverage possible = include print
– Approval vendors can help manage DDA across multiple
suppliers
• Publishers should recognize that libraries may wish
to limit number of suppliers, and plan accordingly
12. 3. Choosing DDA Models
Mix of auto-purchase and STL based on goals of program
• Auto-Purchase
– Purchase triggered on the first use longer than free browse
– Purchase triggered after set number of uses
– Purchase triggered after set number of STLs
• STL
– A set number of STLs prior to auto-purchase
– Only STLs, with no auto-purchase
13. 3. Choosing DDA Models
• Evidence-based acquisition
– Sometimes only option based on platform
capabilities
– Library and publisher should develop expectations
based on analysis of past usage
• Publishers may wish to participate in some or
all models.
• Some concern by publishers about
sustainability of STL
14. 4. Profiling
• DDA profiles should be based on the broadest
definitions possible within these areas, and relative
to goals of the program
– Subject coverage should provide access to a wide range
of content, even in subjects that may not be core
– Retrospective coverage for critical mass
• Especially in programs that otherwise limit coverage
• May or may not overlap with print holdings, depending on
library preference
15. 5. Loading Records
• Libraries should
– Load records regularly and as soon after receipt as
possible
– Load records into as many discovery tools as
possible
– Code records for easy suppression or removal
– Enrich metadata to increase discoverability
– Load point-of-purchase records after purchase to
ease acquisitions workflow/payment
16. 6. Removing Content
• Libraries should:
– Remove records from all discovery tools as soon
as feasible, often using supplier’s delete file
– Establish regular cycle for removal
– Maintain a record of titles removed for
assessment
17. 7. Assessment
• There are multiple reasons for assessment, so
this should be planned from the start
– Measuring overall effectiveness of the program
– Measuring success at cost reduction
– Measuring usage
– Predicting future spending
– Managing the consideration pool
• Data sources might include
– COUNTER reports
– Vendor/publisher supplied reports
– ILS or other local data
18. 8. Preservation
Libraries and publishers should work together to
ensure that un-owned content remains
available, perhaps in partnership with third-
party solutions such as LOCKSS and Portico.
19. 9. Consortial DDA
• Three basic models
– Multiplier (a multiple of list price allows shared
ownership)
– Limited Use (shared ownership, but with a cap on
use before a second copy purchased)
– Buying Club (shared access to consideration pool,
but individual ownership)
20. 10. Public Library DDA
• Mediated
• Wish lists
• Often not through the catalog
