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 A common issue hindering access to our e-journals is the supply of incorrect, outdated or incomplete metadata within the data supply chain.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.

While knowledgebases have become essential tools for electronic resources management, little research has been done about how practitioners have integrated them into their everyday workflows. Inspired by a partnership with the GOKb project, which aims to build an open source knowledgebase, librarians at North Carolina State University set out to investigate the practical requirements, areas of improvement, and desired enhancements that librarians have for their knowledgebases. During this program, the presenters will describe the results of a survey about knowledgebase use sent to electronic resources managers across the country. The survey results will be supplemented by individual points of view gathered from in-depth interviews with selected respondents.The program will conclude with a look at how the findings of the investigation can be applied to the GOKb project. At the end of the session, the attendee should walk away with an understanding of trends in knowledgebase management, areas where the greatest improvement is needed, and ideas for enhancing knowledgebase functionality in an open source setting.

Open source library management systems are free alternative to costly commercial
library systems. It helps to automate library functions and give a tremendous savings on library automation expenses. User’s participation in all stages of software project ensures the development of the features that the library really wants. Lack of awareness and knowledge in open source technology among library professionals restrict wide adoption of open source library management system. This article gives an insight into the use and maintenance of open source library management systems.
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.

Rethinking Library Acquisition: Demand-Driven Purchasing for Scholarly Books
Librarians must reconsider how they collect monographs. Traditionally, academic libraries purchase books to support their curricular and research needs, without much consideration of use. Even though 40% or more of books in most academic libraries never get used, this model makes sense in a world in which books go out of print, shelf space is available, and collection budgets are stable. But the world has changed: as publishers shift to an electronic model, books will not go out of print, libraries are under pressure to convert shelf space to study space; and libraries have fewer funds to purchase books annually. This panel will discuss approaches to demand-driven acquisition of monographs at two institutions: the University of Arizona and the University of Denver. While discussing plans being developed at these libraries, we will also look at implications for libraries in general, scholarly publishing, book vendors and academia.

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 Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. What is PDA, DDA, UDA?
“Patron Driven Acquisition” (PDA)
“An e-book purchasing model, first introduced by NetLibrary, in which selection decisions are based on input from
library patrons. Working with the vendor, the librarian establishes an approval profile based on classification, subject,
educational level, publication date, cost, and other criteria. E-book titles matching the profile are then shared with the
library's community of users via MARC records in the online catalog. When a specific e-book has been discovered
and viewed a predetermined number of times, it is automatically purchased for the collection. Libraries with limited
budgets can set spending limits on their PDA plans. Variations on this model have been developed by Ingram's
MyiLibrary and by Ebook Library (EBL). Synonymous with demand-driven acquisitions.”
ODLIS http://www.abc-clio.com/ODLIS/odlis_p.aspx
“Demand Driven Acquisition” (DDA)
Generally understood to be a synonym of PDA. Some publishers/vendors prefer this label for their model.
“Usage Driven Acquisitions” (UDA)
Recently emerged eBook purchasing model, closely related to PDA/DDA. It differs in requiring an upfront monetary
commitment or deposit. This gives the library access to a defined collection of content. At the end of the agreed
upon time period, usage stats of the accessible content is provided to the library. The library then decides which titles
to own. The list prices of titles chosen generally total to the amount of initial commitment/deposit.
“Evidence Based Acquisitions”
Another new label within PDA/DDA models. Seems most similar to Usage-Driven Acquistion

• Maintenance
• Titles moving in/out without
notice
• Single User model with multiple

• Staff Time Invested
9. LOOKING BACK
Better supporting our distance-education and online courses
Greatly reducing the amount of time between a patron-requested resource and giving them access
to books (compared to “Request a book for purchase” service on our website, or InterLibrary Loan)
Multiple concurrent user access is a better fit for how we use this service.
Connecting an eBook with a unique username (randomized) seems to be preventing the same user
from triggering an eBook multiple times (unless on purpose) reducing costs to the library
Still PDA will likely be one method of acquisition for SHSU, not replacing collection development by
librarians

MarcEdit & Regular Expressions
Primary RegEx components used in MarcEdit
• Character escapes: Backslash character () in a regular expression indicates that the following
character is either a special character or should be interpreted literally
e.g., d r n
• Anchors: Cause a match to succeed based on proximity within the string (beginning/end)
e.g., ^$
• Character classes: Matches set of characters specified within brackets
e.g., [] [^]
• Grouping constructs: Delineate sub expressions of a regular expression and capture substrings of
an input string
e.g., ()
• Quantifiers: Specifies number of element instances to be present in the input string for a match
to occur
e.g., *?+{#}
• Substitutions: Regular expression language elements that are supported in replacement patterns

Recommendations
26. LOOKING AHEAD
• Considering 1-2 Usage-Driven Acquisitions programs
• Is continued higher use of purchased eBooks likely?
• Greater control over permanently owned titles.
• Increased interest from faculty & students for streaming media
• Streaming Video PDA programs available via Kanopy
• Are serials/journals next up for PDA?
• Major hesitations due to logistics and custom holdings of print owned material
27. Q&A plus Group Discussion
DISCUSSION
• What are you doing in your library?
• Positive or Negative experience with
PDA/DDA/UDA models thus far?
• Suggestions/Advice to those who have
not ventured into PDA/DDA yet?
• Feedback from patrons/faculty/teachers
regarding PDA/DDA/UDA eBooks?
• Other areas expanding into PDA ---
journals, streaming media, etc.

Editor's Notes
Welcome to a discussion of the many variations of patron or demand driven acquisition models. My name is Kat Landry Mueller and I am the Monographs Acquisitions Librarian at Sam Houston State University. My colleague Zach Valdes is the Special Formats Cataloger. We both started our full-time careers as librarians in September 2012 and our first big project was to set-up and oversee an eBook PDA. After an initial explanation of the many iterations of PDA, we will share some of our learning experiences, frustrations, and lessons learned. Then we will open it up for discussion of any of your experiences with PDA/DDA/UDA as well as contemplate the future of this acquisition model.
The expenditures overall show that with the option of Short Term Loans, ebooks purchased is decreased and overall expeditures were reduced. While we do not yet have enough data on EBL DDA yet, the data is currently skewing towards significantly more loans than purchased ebooks.
Deduplication was a major issue with our Ebrary PDA. The system had limitations on how we could upload our ISBN list to de-duplicate our PDA profile against (20,000 each time and our list was over 200,000). For our Ebrary PDA programs, there was a lot of staff time and effort spent doing this initially and also attempting to repeat so any purchase made outside the PDA would not be duplicated in PDA loans/auto-purchases. EBL has been much more “hands-off” where you just send them the ISBN list and they de-duplicate your profile from the vendor’s side. Questions remain on how often it is feasible for us to send them this list to keep our profile currently. Debating quarterly?
Communication between Cataloging and Acquisitions quickly took a front seat. The Special Formats Cataloger had to know when a PDA title was triggered for purchase so the Item Location, and 899 field could be updated. EBL and Ebrary currently offer different methods for obtaining new records that match your profile. While both systems send you email alerts of new eBooks matching your PDA profile’s criteria - Ebrary’s is currently much more library-managed and requires staff time to go into the Admin module and retrieve the new MARC records (and their system frequently timed out). EBL has been much more user-friendly since we are able to get initial and any new matching records via OCLC Knowledge Base Collection (already a subscriber). (?) Lastly, training was reviewed a few times when inadvertent overlay of print (or outside eBook) acquisition bib records onto PDA records happened. Largely this happened when using the SmartPort wizard within our SIRSI ILS.
We also struggled previously to maintain accurate currency of the PDA records in our catalog when Ebrary would remove titles without notice. This frustrated patrons and librarians alike since we had a record in our catalog which was inaccessible. Staff Time involved maintaining a PDA is a big concern for libraries. Ebrary was much more of time-investment for us personally. As mentioned, the de-duplication frustrations and titles moving-in/out were two of our biggest issues, however Acquisitions also monitored turnaways, which was occasionally a problem with the SUPO model (and still is for our owned Ebrary titles). EBL set-up seemed much more streamlined and technical service was very communicative (along with our dedicated rep). However… some of our settings (non-mediated loans, high price point, etc.) allow for that. If your library chose to do mediated loans and/or purchases, it would require significantly additional staff time.

We are considering trying a couple of the Usage-Driven Acquisitions programs offered by vendors to see if these generate higher continued use of purchased eBooks. Largely this will depend on how much we have available in the budget to invest in trying this new acquisitions model
Usage Driven Acquisition is also attractive because librarians will still retain control over which titles are permanently added to the library’s collection. This is important since PDA titles have thus far tend to be introductory or non-scholarly materials. However which publisher we decide to try will likely be determined after evaluating what ebooks/journal articles (if applicable) we already normally purchase, and the usage statistics on those items.
Interestingly we have had much greater interest in streamed videos by students, faculty and librarians. While we do subscribe to several streaming video packages (Adam Matthews, Alexander Street Press, etc.) – there are still videos requested but not available in our current collections. Since we have recently begun using Kanopy as a hosting service for owned videos – their PDA streaming video collections may be something of interest in the future.
Finally, there have been discussion and presentations at other conferences (ER&L 2013) regarding Patron or Demand Driven Acquisition models for serials/journals. As neither of us handle Serials, we are not experts in this field but the complexity of print serials does not seem to diminish if the format moves to electronic. Custom holdings would make de-duplication even more difficult than ebooks, as well as discontinued and transferred titles would seemingly create an endless flow of maintenance and review for the librarians to be responsible for.
