Patron driven acquisition
This document discusses patron-driven acquisition (PDA) of ebooks. It explains that PDA allows libraries to expand collections based on patron demand rather than librarian selection. Libraries set parameters for PDA, such as price limits. Users discover ebooks that the library has not yet purchased. If a book meets the preset usage thresholds, such as a certain number of chapter views, the library purchases it. PDA has benefits like guaranteed usage of purchased titles and an automated acquisitions process. However, some argue PDA shifts too much control over collections from librarians to users.
HighEdWeb 2013: A Walk Down Portal Lane
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga uses the Ellucian Luminis portal to allow students access to their data and registration services. Built on the Open Source Liferay portal, it also serves as a central authentication service for other services utilizing it's single-sign-on capabilities. During UTC's upgrade from version four to five of Luminis, Dan Chase investigated deploying static content used in Luminis with OU Campus CMS. While the campus knew allowing department users to edit dedicated special purpose content as they did in version four would be easier in five, campus officials wanted to move editing into the same interface they were using everyday to maintain their website. Doing so also allows better access control, with less complexity. Chase will share the trials & tribulations of what it takes to provide a better services to departmental users, while making the management of those services easier from an information technology perspective.
veryDisco: The Evolution of Discovery at Claremont
The document discusses the evolution of discovery tools at Claremont University library. Teams studied openURL implementation, federated search products, and next generation OPAC ideas. The library's strategic goals were to create an interface with high usability, intuitiveness, robustness and relevance across the library, enterprise systems, and non-licensed and licensed content sources. The library joined beta programs for Summon and Primo, releasing Summon in fall 2009 and planning to overlay Primo in spring 2010 to provide an integrated discovery environment.

This document discusses using quantitative usage data and statistics to understand user behaviors and inform library decisions. It provides examples of analyzing usage data to test theories about how improvements or changes to services may affect user behaviors like starting research, accessing information, differentiating between resources, chaining between related resources, and managing or teaching with content. The analysis found increases in usage of resources after improvements like a new discovery tool or stable online archives. The document suggests libraries could further study additional user behaviors like monitoring searches, networking with colleagues, extracting citations, and analyzing usage data.
Tiered Pricing Models: The Effect on Library Budgets
1. The document discusses different tiered pricing models for electronic journals that publishers have adopted, including models based on print subscription rates, Carnegie classifications, institutional enrollment, and usage.
2. It analyzes the potential impact of these different pricing models on one institution's library budget based on its journal usage, citations, enrollment size, and other factors.
3. The conclusion is that libraries now face many complex pricing models from publishers, and in the aggregate these models will always favor the publisher's financial interests over the library's budget constraints.

Harvesting From Many Silos at Web-scale Makes E-content Truly DiscoverableElectronic Resources & Libraries
For many years, libraries have been dreaming about a simple, easy, fast search solution that unifies all of the resources into a single repository. In the current model, the user is faced with the problem of dealing with multiple information silos and no-compelling starting place in implementing their search. Recently, the introduction of a โWeb-scale discoveryโ layer, or Next-Generation Catalog, can provide this starting point for library patrons. This talk will discuss how these Next-Generation library discovery applications can go beyond the local library holdings and beyond federated search to offer a single Google like search service across all local and subscription resources. ย

How discovery impacts of users' experiences
In the 21st century the academic library supports both research activities and teaching outcomes of faculty members and students through web-scale discovery services. These discovery services embrace new technologies to provide deep discovery of vast scholarly collections from a one-stop access interface, relying on a central index of pre-harvested data. With unified indexing of full-text library content, usersโ experience of search and retrieval is greatly improved.
Discovery is changing the way that library users find and access library materials, especially electronic resources. In the opening part of this presentation, I will share my experiences of using different discovery systems โ Summon, Primo and Enterprise โ in my current and previous roles, in term of differences, strengths and common areas among these tools. Relevant findings from the literature and latest research reports will be sketched. I will also speak of how technical services teams can support the next generation of discovery systems that will help the progress of the digital library field. The presentation will conclude with the approach of technical services towards future discovery.

Future directions discussed capturing non-text media usage, developing standards for robust database analysis and statistical measures.
Changing the Structure of Scholarly Publishing: Open Access, Open Archives, a...
Traditional scholarly publishing involves commercial and society journals with editorial boards and peer review. New publishing models like open access, open archives, and author self-archiving have emerged due to electronic publishing advantages and rising journal costs. Open access involves free access to content while retaining traditional structures. Open archives allow free depositing of articles in repositories. Author self-archiving allows authors to publish their own research freely online. These new models shift costs from consumers to producers and provide quick publication but quality assurance and discoverability are concerns that need to be addressed for viability. A mix of models is predicted to continue with disadvantages regarding organization, discoverability, quality, and access.
OpenURL Resolver: The Perfect Librarian
The document discusses how OpenURL resolvers help academic researchers with their information seeking behaviors such as browsing, chaining, differentiating, extracting, managing, and accessing information. OpenURL resolvers act as an unmediated recommender system that is transparent to users and helps users find relevant resources. It also helps library staff with tasks like verifying, recommending, organizing, and informing users. An example is provided of how an OpenURL resolver can help a user find a record and then provide options to access, manage, and end their information seeking process through chaining, differentiating, and accessing other relevant sources.
COUNTER Update
COUNTER provides standards and guidelines for online usage statistics to help libraries assess collections and publishers evaluate journals. Release 3 of the COUNTER Code of Practice introduces new reports and specifications to provide more comprehensive and consistent usage data. It also strengthens compliance procedures, requiring annual independent audits to certify adherence to the COUNTER Code of Practice. Looking ahead, COUNTER aims to further develop standards for new media types and communities while focusing on user-centered metrics.
