Scientific publishing exists to: (1) certify research quality through peer review, (2) attribute discoveries by crediting authors, and (3) disseminate and archive information worldwide. Publishers facilitate peer review, edit journals, and make articles accessible through online platforms. Trends include the transition to online publishing and greater integration of content. Japan's relative research impact has risen over time in chemistry and biology but remains below average in some fields. Japanese organic chemistry research is particularly strong, accounting for about 16% of top papers.

The document summarizes the University of Denver's implementation of demand-driven acquisition (DDA) for ebooks and print books. It discusses data showing a high percentage of unused books purchased under the previous just-in-case model. The new DDA model allows books to be purchased only after a certain number of uses or short-term loans, reducing unnecessary spending. The transition involves setting up plans with ebook vendors EBL and YBP to provide access and integrate purchasing workflows with the library system. Assessment of the new model will examine use data and purchasing patterns over time.

Michael Levine-Clark presented on demand-driven acquisition (DDA) as a strategy for building monographic collections. He discussed how DDA allows libraries to provide access to a much larger collection by only paying for content that is used, matching acquisitions to immediate demand. The University of Denver implemented a DDA program through EBL in 2010 that has expanded access while spending less than traditional purchasing models. DDA provides both challenges and opportunities for managing the consideration pool and defining the long-term collection.

This document summarizes presentations from the 2010 Charleston Conference on patron-driven acquisition (PDA) of ebooks. It discusses:
1) Results from the University of Denver's PDA program with EBL, which saw over 1,400 short-term loans of ebooks, saving the university over $226,000 compared to purchasing all browsed titles.
2) A survey of university presses that found over half were unfamiliar with their library's PDA activities and most believed PDA could negatively impact monograph sales and their ability to forecast sales.
3) Challenges in budgeting, maintaining collections, and rethinking interlibrary loan models under PDA discussed by presenters.
In a white paper to be published in the spring of 2015, the presenter examines worldwide usage of e-books based on data from ebrary and EBL. This presentation builds on that paper, exploring some of the conclusions in more depth. In addition to presenting trends in usage that may be helpful to libraries for benchmarking their own usage, this study explores models and methods for measuring usage that can be applied by libraries or consortia locally.

THURS C1 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM Do Humanities & Social Sciences E-books Get Used? Location: Holiday Inn, Cooper Room B Thread: FOR Speakers: Matt Barnes – ebrary; Neil Sorensen – ebrary; Carol Zsulya - Cleveland State University It is a common belief that e-books are less conducive to studies and general research in the humanities and social sciences. As the reasoning goes, patrons in these fields are primarily interested in immersive reading and e-books do not suit this purpose. In this session speakers will present a case that this belief is largely false. Utilizing ebrary usage statistics that go back more than a decade and span multiple library types, evidence will be presented that suggests patrons do utilize e-books in many of the humanities and social sciences, and in many cases, utilize this material quite heavily. Speakers will interpret the data presented and discuss how findings here could better inform collection and acquisition decisions in libraries. Discussion with attendees will be encouraged.

Does format matter? Reading preferences in an academic library contextJen Robertson
Presented at the Charleston Conference on November 6, 2015. At the University of Toronto Libraries, we analyzed usage data for scholarly monographs from three key university presses, covering thousands of titles over several years of publication. By comparing print and ebook usage patterns of identical titles, our goal was to examine format preferences, investigate whether use of one format is linked to the other, and determine if there are differences in usage across subject disciplines or publishers.

The document discusses the history and capabilities of Thomson Reuters' Web of Science database and the SciELO Citation Index. Some key points:
- Web of Science is the leading citation database, founded in the 1960s based on innovative work in bibliometrics. It indexes over 30 million records.
- SciELO Citation Index was launched as part of expanding regional content coverage, particularly in BRICK regions like Africa. It indexes approximately 700 open access journals.
- Potential benefits of hosting an African Citation Index on the Web of Knowledge platform are discussed, such as increasing visibility of African research and improving research quality standards.
This document analyzes scholarly publication patterns in the social sciences and humanities and their coverage in Scopus and Web of Science databases. It finds large variations in coverage between subfields. Journal publications in languages other than English and books are often not well-covered. While Scopus has wider journal coverage, Web of Science indexes more book publishers. Comprehensive coverage of SSH scholarship remains difficult given the diversity of publication types, languages and national or regional levels of dissemination used.
This document summarizes an OCLC presentation about its member-driven community and shared innovative products and services that ensure access to knowledge. It discusses OCLC's global network of over 16,000 member libraries in 120 countries and how it shares metadata, supports resource sharing and discovery, provides management tools, and undertakes research to advance libraries. The presentation highlights OCLC's role in cooperative cataloging and tools like WorldCat, Tipasa ILL management, and CONTENTdm for special collections.
This document summarizes a presentation about the value of Elsevier resources such as journals, journal backfiles, and eBooks. It notes that Elsevier journals are highly used and cited in the research process. Usage data is presented showing high usage of Elsevier journals at various top Indian institutions over time. The value of journal backfiles is discussed, including their high usage rates of 10-14% of total and citation rates of 13-17% in recent research. Case studies show usage of backfile articles in the work of top universities and companies. Usage of Elsevier eBooks is also growing significantly each year. In conclusion, Elsevier resources provide high value to researchers through discovery, access, and impact on their work.
The document provides information about the services and facilities available at the Sabancı University Information Center in 2014.

Access to Freely Available Journal Articles: Gold, Green, and Rogue Open Ac...Jason Price, PhD
A recent bibliometrics study found that 54% of 4.6 million scientific papers from peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus during the years 2011-2013 could be downloaded for free on the internet in April of 2014 (Archambault, et al. 2014). As time rolls on, authors and researchers are increasingly using more-and-less legal scholarly article sharing services to "take back the literature," or even just to access it more conveniently (Bohannon, 2016). The objective of this study was to evaluate a manageable sample of journal articles across the sciences, social sciences and humanities for their availability in gold, green and rogue open access forms, including ResearchGate and Sci-Hub. Attendees will gain a greater appreciation of the extent of open access availability through Google Scholar, Google and commercial discovery systems, and will be challenged to roll with the times by expanding the role of libraries in broadening access to the freely available literature.
Scopus is a large abstract and citation database of peer-reviewed literature including scientific journals, books, and conference proceedings. The presentation discusses Scopus' broad coverage across subject areas and publishers, its process for selecting content through an independent advisory board, and ongoing content expansion programs. Features of Scopus include cited reference tracking, author profiles, and new/updated mobile interfaces. ScienceDirect is also discussed as a full-text database that helps researchers save time finding and consuming relevant research articles through personalized recommendations, collaborative tools, and mobile accessibility. Mendeley is briefly introduced as a reference manager and academic social network for organizing research papers, collaborating with other researchers, and discovering new publications.

The document discusses the tensions between academic libraries' missions of preserving knowledge for future generations and serving the current needs of students and faculty. It notes that libraries are moving away from primarily permanent collections towards more temporary access models using leasing and subscriptions. A potential future model is outlined where libraries focus on immediate access to all relevant content through various temporary means while ensuring future access through initiatives like print archiving. This broader temporary collection approach could fulfill both the preservation and access missions if issues like ensuring access to out-of-print titles are addressed.

Levine-Clark, Michael, “Measuring Discovery: The Impact of Discovery Systems on Journal Usage,” Invited. INFORUM Conference on Professional Information Resources, Prague, May 26, 2015. [John McDonald and Jason Price]
1. A study analyzed the impact of four discovery services on journal article usage across six publishers and 33 libraries over two years.
2. The study found that every discovery service increased journal usage compared to the control group, but the size of the increase differed between services and across libraries and publishers.
3. Usage changes were influenced by factors like library configurations, metadata quality, and availability of full text in aggregators. More research is needed on how discovery impacts other content types and why certain results occurred.

The document discusses recommendations for new forms of discovery and purchasing in libraries using demand-driven acquisitions (DDA). It outlines four broad goals for DDA programs: saving money, spending the same amount more wisely, providing broader access, and building a permanent collection via patron input. The recommendations address establishing goals, choosing content and DDA models, profiling, loading and removing records, assessment, preservation, and consortial DDA. The presentation of these recommendations aims to develop a flexible DDA model that meets local needs while allowing for consortial participation and cross-aggregator implementation.

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.

Levine-Clark, Michael, and Barbara Kawecki, "Best Practices for Demand-Driven Acquisition of Monographs: Preliminary Recommendations of the NISO DDA Working Group," Charleston Conference, November 8, 2013.
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.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

2. What (we think) we know
• E-books are better/worse
– For some subjects than others
– For some types of use than others
• E-books don’t work for immersive reading
• E-books don’t work for the humanities
3. Tons of Data
The Project
• Worldwide usage data
– EBL 2013-2014
– ebrary 2013-2014
– All customers
– Aggregated by title
• Today:
– EBL 2013
– ebrary 2014
4. The Shape of the Data
• Spreadsheets for the world and by region
• One title, with all associated data
– LC Class, Subclass, BISAC
– Publication Year

– Multiple measures of usage
5. Some Data Snags
• EBL and ebrary data are not yet merged
• Call numbers
– Missing
– Errors
• xQ102… (Q102)
• BBF1427… (BF)
• Not easy to retroactively build a list of titles
visible to a library at a particular time
6. Benchmarking
• What can we learn from worldwide usage
data?
• Do trends across a huge data set matter?
• Is every institution so unique that only local
data is meaningful?
– Every institution has other resources competing
for each user’s time.
– e-books take up varying portions of an overall
collection
7. Usage Definitions
• Session
– Any time that a user
interacts with an e-book
• Page View
– A count of the number
of pages examined
• Download
– A download of the entire
book (EBL and ebrary)
• Chapter Download

• Usage Time
– Minutes (EBL) or
seconds (ebrary) spent
looking at the book
• Copies
– A count of pages
copied/pasted
• Prints
– A count of the number
of pages printed
8. Academic Complete

54. Conclusions about Likelihood of Use
• Social Science titles are more likely to have at
least one use
– But, some humanities subjects are most heavily
used. P (languages and literature) is relatively
poorly used.
• In general, social sciences titles are used
above what one would predict, with sciences
lower.
71. Likelihood of High Use: Conclusions
• Views Per Session
– Lowest in Developing
world
– Generally highest for
STEM
• Copy/Paste Per Session
– Regional variations
– Generally highest for
Social Sciences, lowest
for STEM
• Downloads Per Session
– Highest in Developing

82. High-Use Titles: Conclusions
• Top 10% of titles represent 70% of sessions
worldwide
• Social Sciences more heavily represented than
in the data set as a whole
• Arts & Humanities more heavily represented,
but accounts for fewer sessions than would be
expected
– Usage spread more deeply across titles for A&H
108. One Size Does Not Fit All
• Arts & Humanities
– Highest likelihood a library with access to a title will make
use of it
• Social Sciences
– Highest percentage of available titles used
– Even higher percentage of overall sessions
• STEM
– Most page views per session
– Most downloads per session
– Least amount of time in the book
109. Don’t Rely on a Single Measure of Use
• Comparing multiple factors tells a more
complete story
– Actions per session
– Use relative to availability
– Intensive vs extensive use
110. Think Broadly
• All subjects get used
• Publication date does not appear to be a
major factor
