Active Stock Management in Stirling Libraries:Taking Care of Business. Twin Cities Conference: Innovation into Practise- New Service Concepts, Helsinki and Turku, Finland, 13-16 May 2009
This document discusses how larger and better data can help non-profits identify more major donors. It notes that while larger data presents opportunities to uncover patterns and target communications, data alone cannot replace human decision making or explain donor motivations. Maintaining and analyzing data also requires resources. The document advocates using data to plan strategically, boost fundraising asks, and benchmark performance, but emphasizes inspiring donors through respect and trust above data-driven approaches alone.
The document discusses considerations for automating a library. It outlines steps like determining the library's vision and current status, conducting a feasibility study, creating a technology plan, and developing a project proposal. It also covers criteria for selecting an integrated library system, such as functionality, user interface, scalability, costs, and vendor support. The overall goal is to carefully plan and select a system that best matches the library's needs and vision.

VLA Public Library Collection Management Program 2015Ann Theis
The document summarizes a discussion on collection management for public libraries held by the Virginia Library Association in October 2015. It includes an agenda with topics like survey results, collection management jeopardy, and discussions. Highlights from the survey of public library collection managers show top concerns are long-range planning, electronic materials, and promoting collections. Popular discussion topics included trends in print vs. electronic budgets, collection analysis tools, and statewide purchasing plans. The document provides insight into the issues facing Virginia public library collection managers.
- The document discusses market trends research conducted by PCG, including annual surveys of journal subscription renewals and cancellations, library budgets, and corporate libraries.
- The surveys track factors influencing cancellations and budget changes, finding pressures have led to increased cancellations but rates have not significantly varied.
- A library budget survey polls over 400 academic, corporate, medical and government libraries annually about upcoming budget outlooks.
- A corporate library survey examined how 240 corporate libraries purchase scholarly resources differently than academic libraries.
The document discusses how to boost material circulation in libraries through effective merchandising and displays. It provides guidelines for display design including determining the location, topic, audience and evaluating books for visual appeal. Formatting displays to be eye-catching and keeping them updated is important to increase circulation. Studies have shown circulation can increase by 300-1000% for books placed in displays near circulation desks.
1. A physical inventory of a library collection involves comparing the shelf list (holdings records) to the actual items on the shelves.
2. The presentation outlines the steps to take for a physical inventory, including weeding the collection, comparing the shelf list to items, and scanning items.
3. Doing a physical inventory is important because it ensures the catalog accurately reflects what is actually available, limits patron and staff frustration, and helps evaluate the library's performance and collections.
This document summarizes the agenda and key discussion points from a VLA Public Library Collection Management meeting in October 2015. The agenda included introductions, a collection management buzzword bingo game, a survey on collection management issues, a quiz, and prize drawings. Survey highlights showed the top concerns were long-range planning, eMaterials challenges, and collection analysis. Popular discussion topics included budgets, vendors, trends like eBooks, and ways to share information like regional meetings and the VLA listserv. The document provided contacts and links to additional resources on the topics.
The document discusses research libraries adapting to changes in scholarly information practices and the role of print collections. As online resources grow, libraries face pressure to optimize print collection management. Consolidating holdings within and across institutions can reduce costs and redundancies by creating economies of scale. However, essential infrastructure is lacking for cooperative print management.
The document summarizes how Saint Xavier University eliminated 95% of its print reference collection to address issues of overcrowding in the library and a lack of budget control over reference materials. They established new collection priorities focused on the university curriculum and digital resources over print. This involved a review of the entire reference collection, with materials either moved to the circulating collection, sent to off-site storage, or weeded. The process freed up significant funds and shelf space while still meeting curricular needs.
The document discusses trends in libraries and the need to rethink the role of libraries on college campuses. It notes that the IU Business/SPEA library is facing space constraints and may need to be reconceived. Students are asked to propose creative, evidence-based ideas for a different sort of library that will meet student needs and attract users, as the deans are interested in the students' recommendations to inform decisions about the future of the library.
Hospital Administrator Perceptions of the Library Elaine Martin
A qualitative study conducted by Elaine Martin, DA, Director of UMass Medical Center's Lamar Soutter Library, shows what hospital administrators value about libraries and how they make library budgeting decisions.
The document provides guidance on using displays and merchandising techniques to boost material circulation in libraries. It discusses learning fundamental display design guidelines and retail techniques to feature a collection. Studies have found that displaying materials can increase circulation by 300-1000% by making the library more inviting and providing reader recommendations. The document also offers tips for creating effective displays, including determining locations, topics, and audiences as well as guidelines for visual design.
A physical inventory of a library's collection is essential to ensure the catalog accurately reflects holdings. The document outlines a 7-step inventory strategy used on an audio book collection, which resulted in 20 reclaimed items worth $1,300 being found. Physical inventories help maintain collection quality by identifying outdated, damaged, or incorrectly cataloged items, and provide data to make informed collection management decisions regarding budgets, benchmarks, and weeding schedules.
The document outlines plans for a library staff retreat to develop a strategic plan through 20[Target Year]. It includes an agenda with introductions, discussions about the importance of libraries and community needs, a review of the preliminary service responses selected by the planning committee, and a tour of the library. The goal is for staff to provide input based on their knowledge of programs and community feedback to help develop a plan to guide the library.
This document discusses scenario planning and how it can help organizations adapt to unexpected changes. It provides an example of how Tyndale House Publishers used scenario planning when facing uncertainty about future growth. Scenario planning is a six-step process that involves determining your focus, identifying driving forces, exploring alternative scenarios, and developing an action plan. Tyndale House identified questions about how bookstores and distribution channels may change and used scenario planning to create robust strategies.

850 Managing&Marketing Library Support Ea WalkerAspenWalker
This document discusses a new approach to library public relations and marketing focused on generating support and funding. It summarizes key findings from the OCLC report "From Awareness to Funding" which showed that increased library usage does not necessarily translate to support for increased library funding. The report recommends targeting messaging at "probable" and "super supporters" to emphasize how libraries are transformational community assets. The document then discusses how the Douglas County Libraries in Colorado has worked to implement this new approach after two failed ballot measures seeking a tax increase. It outlines four skill areas for library managers to focus on to successfully manage this new marketing trend: managing themselves, leading others, organizational awareness, and community building.

Class 5 - acquisitions, weeding, donations and budgetingSarah Clark
Team challenge for MLIS students in a collection development course with a high school or public library young adult fiction collection. How should you decide what to acquire? Through which sources? What criteria should you use to weed out books? How should you determine how much of your total resource budget is dedicated to this section?
- The document discusses strategic planning for libraries, outlining the key steps and benefits of strategic planning. It covers analyzing the current situation, envisioning the future goals and direction, and developing action plans.
- Effective strategic plans help libraries adapt to changes, improve decision making, and clearly communicate their purpose and role in the community. However, plans can fail if the vision is ineffective, implementation is poor, leadership is lacking, or communication is weak.
- Developing a strategic plan requires input from library staff, leaders, users, and community partners. Plans must be regularly monitored and updated to ensure the library continues meeting its goals.
Bookers' Den is a platform that allows users to freely exchange, lend, and borrow physical books. Its vision is to build a global library accessible through an app. The mission is to revive paperback reading by addressing issues like cost, storage, and disposal. Goals include monthly recurring revenue of $73,500 by February 2018 through 3000 signups and a 20% conversion rate. The strategy targets lower income readers, enthusiasts, and those with large collections through discounts, recommendations, and a community forum. Tactics include free and paid membership plans with borrowing limits and incentives like discounted books.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l
