This document discusses the future of collection development policies in libraries. It notes that the changing format of materials from print to electronic requires libraries to rethink their policies. New modes of acquisition like patron-driven acquisition and purchase-on-demand are becoming more common. Tools like WorldCat Collection Analysis can help libraries assess their collections, identify gaps, and prioritize acquisitions. Overall, the document questions whether traditional models like the conspectus still apply and calls for libraries to potentially make major changes or tweaks to their collection development policies to adapt to the current environment.

Access to Supplemental Journal Article Materials NASIG
Presented by Electra Enslow, Suzanne Fricke, Susan Shipman
The use of supplemental journal article materials is increasing in all disciplines. These materials may be datasets, source code, tables/figures, multimedia or other materials that previously went unpublished, were attached as appendices, or were included within the body of the work. Current emphasis on critical appraisal and reproducibility demands that researchers have access to the complete shared life cycle in order to fully evaluate research. As more libraries become dependent on secondary aggregators and interlibrary loan, we questioned if access to these materials is equitable and sustainable.

“Read & Publish” agreements continue to gain global attention. What’s rarely discussed when these new access and article processing models are introduced is the paperwork, back-end technology and overall management required to implement the new program that works for all involved. This panel, comprised of a librarian, publisher, and researcher, will focus on the complexities of developing, implementing and using the infrastructures of different Read & Publish models and the challenges of developing a seamless experience for everyone.
From article submission to publication to final reporting, the panel will discuss the “hidden” impact that new workflows will have on stakeholders in scholarly communications. Time will be allotted for Q&A and attendee participation is encouraged.
Collection Development (that based on the five laws of S.R.Ranghanathan) is very important part of Collection Management. If we don’t adopt advanced technologies, collection then we can never fulfill the need of advanced users and libraries will become freeze, this is against the 5th law of Ranghanathan that “ Library is a growing organism”.

What ARE we thinking? Collections decisions in an Academic LibraryLinda Galloway
When faced with multiple competing priorities for investment in library resources, there are many important aspects to consider. From student enrollment to prominence of programs, there are both data-driven and intangible factors to weigh. In addition, most library collections now focus on the immediate needs of students and researchers instead of collecting for posterity. This just-in-time versus just-in-case collection development mindset prioritizes different resource attributes and requires an often unfamiliar level of acquisitions flexibility.
The needs of researchers in key disciplines are changing rapidly and this has important implications for the library’s role in enhancing research productivity and impact.
Librarians can build a roadmap for supporting 21st Century research needs that draws on both published research sources and institution-specific user research. Several key trends from recent studies and ideas for institution-specific user research tools are highlighted within.

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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Editor's Notes
At the University of South Florida Tampa Library in 2004-5, $2,092,304 was spent on print monographs and serials and $2,566,404 on their electronic counterparts. Fast-forward to 2008-9 and that figure has gone through an accelerated transition; $1,662,524 is now spent on print monographs and serials and a drastically higher number of $4,236,350
Kennedy, 2005Douglas, 2009Biblarz, 2001
quite common method of purchase across multiple formats (including e-books) and libraries (p. 5, 2010). Libraries are often “forced” into large group or consortia purchases by economic realities or deals too good to pass up. If this efficiency may be effectively harnessed, these practices may become an important part of new collection policies.
Reasons to assess the collectionMeasure of an institutions commitment to a program is viewed by accrediting bodiesUnfortunately, numeric matrices are used as a measure of quality
The environments that require examination in the new world of CD policies include both internal and external. The comparative information is much more prevalent and accessible than ever before, allowing for extensive goal setting...something a policy document can and should (if used) continue to embrace
Using InfoCenter, grants databases, class offering matrices, etc.
Need to plan for iPad, Kindle, etc. New textbook plans...do they become part of the public services librarian’s responsibility (and part of the policy?)
Tech minded – internet savvy, not afraid to chase down an elusive article on unfamiliar websitesMobile users – need apps and mobile friendly websitesSciences are early adopters of open access, although some still more concerned about IF/tenureVideo – Journal of Visualized Experiments, Protocol video databases, VADLO
Do we need to look at student requirements (computer, iPads, etc.) as we build new policiesVideo projects…not just painting and art historyStreaming video for music, theater, and dance (some open access, some not)Robotic wheelchair (moving dance chair) – danceResearch is collaborative across disciplinesDance is working with the department of health on hand-washingInterdisciplinary, collaborative, and international…funding opportunities more and more linked to these concepts
How can these principles shape new types of policy documents
Increasing importance of these links and lists...helping maintain integral and core items for balanced collection, but specialty lists to help with collections of particular emphasis
It was so time consuming and with little reward. New tools make “low hanging” fruit even lowerFaculty love the responsive nature and the ability to “make their case” for new materials/collectionsTried to pass more selection ability along to constituents, but with little rewardSome faculty are opposed to doing this type of collection-building work (this is our/the library’s job)
How much can we promise (we can’t buy everything they ask)?What type of information do we provide about how we make PDA purchases? Do we risk someone “buying” things disproportinally for their area?How do ILL departments balance buy/borrow in these new times?Can we write “rentals” into a new policy structure?
Pilot project at University of ?Numbers from USF
“Living Framework” concept from the new philosophiesDo we even want gift books? Impossible in some environments…depends on staffingMegan – old science book example
Why are they all in medicine? What’s unique about certain disciplines that help drive new policies and policy formats. Will this work as an over-arching format?
Do the changes in format and economics require policies that address these shifts?If policies remain integral to building collections, does the continued effective use of this type of document require minor tweaks, or massive changes?Is the conspectus model relevant/upgradeable?Can we use new and other tools to supplement, or replace current policy formats (i.e. comparative tools, such as WorldCat Collection Analysis and GoldRush)What types of policies or methods are needed for balanced collections? For collections of distinction?
