Presented at the UKSG Annual Conference 2010, this covers the research and philosophy behind SPIE's long-term decision to reset it's Digital Library subscription prices. The economic crisis provided a catalyst to take a longer-term look at how to best disseminate the society's conference and journal content, and at the same time build its subscriber base. The 10% price rollback in 2010 was followed by a freeze in 2011 and a 5% further rollback for 2012.

A presentation we gave to the Canadian Market Research & Intelligence Association. We have stripped out proprietary insights but still may be interesting.
Report Details: The research for this report was conducted via an online survey from January 16 – April 3, 2017. Surveys were conducted among a mix of manufacturers, retailers, and wholesalers/distributors/co-operatives (n=56).
Objective: To understand the role of supply chain finance in determining supply chain strategy and gaining competitive advantage towards supply chain excellence.
Highlight: Managing costs is a struggle for most companies. While 88% of companies have implemented Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), the hard work of process evolution and maturity continues. In this report we share the current state of supply chains in managing costs, and then take a look at the processes and organizational design factors to evaluate the impact on cost management.

Don't stop the presses! Study of Short-Term Return on Investment on Print Boo...Maria Savova
How long are we willing to wait for a book to demonstrate value? How many circulations are enough? Today, there is more pressure to show return on investment (ROI) than there used to be thirty, twenty, or even ten years ago. In the era of increasingly electronic, demand-driven, and evidence-based collection development, the once reigning print book is ceding its central place within library collections. While faculty and students are showing renewed interest in print materials, flat or declining library budgets, along with inevitable increases in electronic subscription rates, put downward pressure on print monograph funding. Libraries continue to develop their print book collections, however, we need to develop a data-driven approach to guide selection and acquisition of the most relevant print books. The Claremont Colleges Library conducted a short-term ROI study comparing recent print books acquired under three different acquisition modes: approval autoship, demand-driven purchase, and librarian selection. We looked at short-term ROI averages for each acquisition mode, including how long it takes for a book to circulate for the first time and how many times books circulate within the first year after acquisition. We also reviewed the number of books, overall expenditure per acquisition mode, and disciplinary distribution of print book acquisitions from a historical perspective, exploring how the proportions of expenditure between print approval and firm ordering changed at the advent of demand-driven purchasing and the proliferation of e-books. The audience will learn how this study’s findings are informing our budgeting strategies and future collection development.
Parallel Universe: Will Libraries and Publishers Learn to Share?Michael Cairns
Presentation at American Library Conference 2011 and to the 32nd Supply Chain Interests Group at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2010
Michael Cairns, Managing Partner, Information Media Partners.
Powerpoint on Survey Development in libraries by LIS 2830 students Dana Alsup, Katie DeRusso, Michele Farina,
Sarah Loudenslager, Sara Tekavec (Spring 2011).
This presentation was provided by Sarah Koechlein of James Madison University, during the NISO event "From Submission to Publication: Creating and Conveying Quality," held on August 21, 2019.
The presentation gives an overview on managing library's collection with the aim of effectively and efficiently meeting the information needs of library users.
Today’s rising generation of readers, known as millennials, includes digital natives, savvy social media users, and consumers who are more concerned with quality and value than brand loyalty. In September 2014, a Pew Research Center study stated that people under 30 read more than their elders and utilize libraries for information not found on the internet.
To further validate this claim, Publishing Technology partnered with OnePoll to survey 2,000 respondents in the US and UK, aged 18-34, to dig deeper into the reading lives of millennials and identify the ways publishers could better connect with this audience.
The subject of mobile phone book reading is one of growing importance to trade publishers. Yet, despite the common availability of research into general e-reading, there was, up to this point, a severe lack of data providing insights into consumers’ attitudes towards reading on their handsets in the US and UK.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
