Best Practices Scenarios Analyze Collection Gaps Highlights techniques you can use to analyze collection gaps and identify areas of relative strength compared to a peer group. Also shows how to share the analysis you create with those responsible for budget development and materials acquisition. Annual Collection Review Illustrates how WorldCat Collection Analysis can be used to make and support informed decisions on which titles to retain, weed, and acquire as a result of an annual collection review. Changing Demographics Demonstrates how to expand your library's collection to better serve a targeted segment of your constituency. The tutorial shows how to determine the strength of your current collection and build a prioritized acquisitions list based on peer comparisons and items frequently borrowed via ILL. Introduction to using Excel® with WorldCat Collection Analysis Provides a brief introduction to some of the more common actions within Microsoft Excel®. You can practice using the exercises as you watch the tutorial or view the tutorial and complete the practice exercises at a later time. Preparing for Digitization  Projects Demonstrates how to use WorldCat Collection Analysis to identify unique items in your collection for inclusion in a digitization project.

WorldCat Resource Sharing Making the most of deflection
Deflection Options Non-supplier Nothing loaned or copied Policy level deflection Level (on/off/review indicator) Deflection Profile Format  OCLC Group Maximum Cost Age of Material
Deflection Options  (cont.) Lending & Reproduction Policies in Local Holdings Records Title level policies Overrides any PD deflection settings
Levels of Deflection Supplier Status Moves to next lender No LHR Bytes Set Policies Deflection Set Follows rules set in LHR Yes Follows rules set in PD Yes Request goes to lender
Example – Special Collection Special Collection that cannot be used for lending Consulted with: Head of Special Collections Individual curators Created Local Holdings Records  008/byte 20 – Will not lend 008/byte 21 – Will not reproduce Result Fill rate is up to 56% from 49%
Example – eSerials Goal Be able to show patrons what e-journals are available Not get ILL requests from e-journals that they don’t have the rights to use for interlibrary loan Fill requests for titles they do have the rights to use for interlibrary loan
Example – eSerials Approach Set holdings on E-journals using the OCLC eSerials Holdings service http://www.oclc.org/us/en/eserialsholdings/overview/default.htm Policy Level deflection Create LHRs for those titles that can be used for interlibrary loan 008/byte 20 – Will not lend 008/byte 21 – Will not reproduce
General Deflection Statistics 1.2 million deflections Estimate approx 40% are LHR-related deflections 1,500 institutions have set deflection policies 2,200 deflection policies

Initiatives
Going Green!
Initiative : Going Green/Saving Resources What does it cost to: Maintain a single piece of paper for 1 year: $20.11 Each time a document is lost it costs $120 to retrieve it 3% of all documents are misfiled Each filing cabinet costs approx $1000/yr to maintain According to  The International Records Management Trust (1995) has made some interesting estimates: and  Weiss (Weiss, M.J. (1994, November). The paperless office, Journal of Accountancy. pp. 73-76. 1994)
Initiative : Going Green/Saving Resources New Categories for Users (Summer 2009) Items would stay in these categories for the life of the request, no need to maintain paper copy of the request  Add a SHIPPED category  Adding a RECEIVED category
Initiative : Going Green/Saving Resources Tracking (Summer 2009)  UPS, DHL, FedEx, USPS Implement APIs in WCRS, web services, VDX Re-implement “will supply” category With barcode reader to enter tracking number in and move to SHIPPED
Initiative: Buy It / Document Supplier Deflection (Summer 2009) Based on local holdings, the lender that has up-to-date local holdings can elect to not receive requests for which they do not hold the item Reasons for no: Deflection (Summer 2009) Lenders want the ability to set what the reason for no is in the case that multiple reasons apply, for a specific policy
Initiative: Buy It / Document Supplier  Auto-trigger RECEIVED after XX days (Summer 2009) This would be a solution for IFM on SHIPPED/UNDO SHIPPED/NOT RECEIVED This would help our lenders receive IFM payment accurately, not forcing libraries to invoice one another
WorldCat Direct Pilot
New WorldCat Direct Pilot Embarking on related pilot where a book supplier ships books to library user’s home location when requested through ILL Supplier sends materials to user’s home Fee charged to library Return envelope included User has option to purchase item
WorldCat Direct Pilot Improved service to library users 30-day loan period Home delivered Improved process for ILL staff Reduced staff time No need to receive materials No need to return materials Reduced total ILL cost
Participation Requirements Review, sign and return WorldCat Direct participation agreement to OCLC Agree to use IFM for all home-delivered transactions Agree to consider using pilot book supplier when WorldCat indicates ownership Agree to provide feedback David Millikin [email_address]   614-764-6078
