Beyond Print Summit: TRLN History, Context, and MotivationsGreg Raschke
TRLN has a long history of collaboration dating back to the 1930s to share resources and collections across its member universities. As content has increasingly moved to digital formats, TRLN has worked to extend this collaboration to licensing e-journals, e-books, and databases for shared access. However, e-books present new challenges as they currently do not allow for the same sharing capabilities as print books due to copyright restrictions and digital rights management. TRLN aims to shape the future of e-books by spearheading new collaborative models that enable scholarship while leveraging the benefits of digital content and repositioning resource sharing in a hybrid print and electronic environment.

Libraries Leading the Way on the 'Textbook Problem'Greg Raschke
Libraries are taking a leading role in addressing the high cost of textbooks by developing expertise in alternative textbook models. They are advocating for affordable options, educating faculty on alternatives, and directly supporting the creation and hosting of open educational resources. Some libraries purchase one copy of each required textbook and partner with bookstores. However, they are now putting more effort into transforming the textbook market by licensing and hosting open textbooks online, providing print-on-demand options, and working with companies developing new affordable textbook models.

This presentation details onboarding strategies institutions can utilize to help acclimate new e-resources librarians with an emphasis on strategies for effectively establishing and perpetuating communications with stakeholders.
This presentation was provided by Stuart Maxwell of Scholarly iQ, during the NFAIS Forethought event "Artificial Intelligence #2 – Processes for Media Analysis and Extraction" The webinar was held on May 20, 2020.
This document discusses the importance of libraries using data and metrics to inform decision making and communicate their value. It notes that while librarians are good at collecting statistics, they often lack the ability or willingness to analyze, interpret, and apply the data. Without using data to take action or inform strategies, it has little value beyond justifying budgets. The document provides examples of how libraries can select peer institutions for benchmarking, analyze trends over time, and use multiple data sets to understand user needs and behaviors. It emphasizes telling "stories" combined with data ("Stories + Stats") to communicate effectively with stakeholders.
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.

Library Simplified is a collaborative project between libraries and partners to simplify the ebook borrowing process for library patrons. It aims to reduce the number of steps patrons must go through to discover, borrow, and read ebooks from 3 or more steps down to just 3 steps. The current library ebook model is flawed with up to 19 steps, resulting in lower adoption rates compared to commercial ebook sales. Library Simplified sees opportunities to address this by promoting open standards, accessing more publishers beyond the big 5, and using DRM for rights management instead of lock-in. Its progress so far includes iOS apps, hosted titles, and features for discovery, borrowing, and reading ebooks across platforms.
Patron-Driven Acquisition: Turning Theory into Practice (Part 1)ALATechSource
This document provides an overview of patron-driven acquisition (PDA) models for libraries. PDA involves adding resources to a collection based on immediate patron need. Common models include request forms, ILL-initiated purchases, and ebook programs that trigger short-term loans or purchases based on usage. PDA is intended to better serve users, save time and money, and build collections more effectively. The presenter recommends libraries pilot test any PDA program and consider goals, stakeholders, and implementation. Next week's discussion will cover PDA in practice and its implications for library collections and roles.

It provides examples of how NC State Libraries has created immersive, hands-on, and interactive learning experiences for students through spaces and programs focused on visualization, making, code and art, workshops, and visiting scholars. It acknowledges initial challenges but emphasizes leveraging opportunities through expertise, programming, and constant integration with teaching to create experiential libraries that can distinguish universities and support deeper learning.
Preparing for New Roles and Transformed Libraries: Models and ImplementationGreg Raschke
Libraries are engaging the research and teaching enterprises of their parent organizations in emerging areas. At the same time, library spaces and technologies are being adapted to support interdisciplinary collaboration, immersive learning environments, life-cycle support for research, and digitally centered scholarship. A key challenge and opportunity in realizing and fully leveraging this strategy is the transformation of the roles of subject specialists and academic technology librarians to support deeper collaboration around these emerging services and add value across the research and teaching life cycles. Transforming the skills, attitudes, goals, and priorities of practicing research librarians, while also better matching the pace of change in library program curricula to these enormous changes, is fundamental to achieving integration and value-addition at scale. This session focuses on both the imperative to increase the pace and structure of change in library curricula and for libraries to provide effective transformational development opportunities for librarians.
Digital Scholarship Spaces: Building Communities & Enabling CollaborationGreg Raschke
The document discusses new models of content creation and scholarship that are taking place in library spaces. It describes how the NC State University Libraries worked to incubate projects that brought faculty and students together to work on interdisciplinary projects. Examples included a program called Visiting Scholar that hosted lectures and workshops, and a Code+Art project that combined computer science and digital art. The document also notes some challenges in strategically managing staff resources for these new types of projects and determining how to disseminate and reproduce the works created through the programs.

Explores informal, organic and formal, credentialed development opportunities as part of a community of practice for testing, developing, and extending research life-cycle services.
The document discusses perspectives on consortial e-book acquisitions from librarians, publishers, and vendors. It summarizes findings from analyzing e-book purchasing data from three universities. Key points of agreement and disagreement between stakeholders are outlined regarding flexible acquisition options, usage data, and resource sharing models. Current realities of consortia patron-driven acquisition models are also presented.
UNC Collaborative Book Purchasing PlanGreg Raschke
The document discusses the UNC System Libraries' collaborative book purchasing plan which aims to minimize duplication across the 16 institutions while maintaining local autonomy and shared discounts. It analyzed 11.1 million book copies held, finding 58% held by 3 or less libraries. The plan follows a buyers club model and brings institutions onto unified discount rates with YBP ranging from 18-19% for cloth firm/approval orders to 9% for continuations. estimated annual savings of $275,000+ for the system through cooperative purchasing.
Open Textbook Models: View from the LibraryGreg Raschke
The document summarizes efforts at the University of Massachusetts Amherst to promote open educational resources (OER). It discusses initial events during Open Access Weeks in 2009 and 2010 to raise awareness. A larger university event on September 21, 2010 provided education on OER. Publicity efforts gained support from campus groups. The libraries' Scholarly Communication Office and OER LibGuide provide resources to support OER adoption.
Clay Shirky, Fantasy Football, and Using Data to Glean the Future of Library ...Greg Raschke
This document discusses moving from traditional supply-driven library collections to demand-driven collections using data analysis. It notes that collection budgets are unsustainable under traditional models and that data can help lower costs by making collections more precise and responsive to user needs. The document advocates analyzing usage data to modify collecting practices and asserts that demand-driven, user-focused models will become a larger share of budgets. It provides examples of how North Carolina State University uses data like usage statistics, citations, and user feedback to evaluate resources and make evidence-based decisions about collections.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Editor's Notes
Welcome. We are reporting out and providing for continued conversation around the Triangle Research Libraries Network Beyond Print Conference held in August 2011. In last Sunday’s New York Times Technology Bits Blog there was a brief write-up by David Streitfeld given to the Books in Browsers conference in San Francisco and I quote: Is any form of traditional media under more assault than the book? For half a millennium, it was happily contained between covers: easily understood by a child, disposable, nearly indestructible, demanding minimal energy, a triumph of economy and form. The Internet has upended all that, of course. Yet the strongest impression from several of the sessions at the Books in Browsers conference in San Francisco over the last two days is that while the off-line book might be dying, the online book has yet to be born. The most basic definitions are still being worked out. And…isn’t that why we are here today?
Brian O’Leary gave the closing talk with this focus: Although business models have changed, publishers and their intermediaries continue to try to evolve their market roles in ways that typically follow the rules for “two-party, one-issue” negotiations. In an environment in which the negotiations are better framed using models for “many parties, many issues”, these more limited approaches have made the design of a flawed ecosystem even worse, shifting burdens onto valued intermediaries (libraries and booksellers, among others). Content abundance, coupled with improvements in available technologies, gives us an opportunity to reshape the competitive framework.
So…TRLN Triangle Libraries Research Network - UNC Duke NC State NCCU - want to do just that “reshape the competitive framework.” - take fullest possible advantage of the inherent characteristics of digital products and also are acceptable to users with affordable, sustainable pricing. Although effective cooperative collection development among the libraries at Duke, UNC, and eventually NCSU began during the Great Depression of the1930s, it never focused on saving money. As noted in the definitive history of TRLN, “If cooperation is to succeed, it must therefore emphasize institutional advancement and enhanced service to users
So, what is our consortial e-book acquisition context? And at this point I need to acknowledge my colleague Stephen Brooks at UNC and others in TRLN with content that will be soon published in a Serials Review article. E-books provide researchers access to monographic resources at the moment and location of their research need, which is a great advantage over their print counterparts and we find in fact are in much greater demand by our users. Patron-driven acquisitions (DDA or PDA), allow a library to purchase specific e-books for their patrons at the moment of need in lieu of just-in-case acquisition. Librarians have learned how to cooperatively acquire and license e-journals through joint publisher “big deals” so as to maximize the resources available to faculty and students, although the financial sustainability of these mechanisms is being called into question. The relatively newness of e-books, their rapid development, and the lack of standard vending and pricing models, however, have created a new set of obstacles in creating win-win models that would work for publishers/vendors, librarians, and patrons. Libraries in the United States have generally shared their print resources under the first-sale doctrine of copyright law, e-books' usage is typically governed by contract law and their permitted use is defined in mutually agreed-upon contracts between the e-book seller (a vendor or publisher, for example) and purchaser (in this case, a library). While a digital format intuitively facilitates immediate and broad distribution of content, digital rights management restrictions (DRM) provide a technical mechanism of enforcement against easy dissemination and the contracts typically legally forbid or greatly restrict sharing. For example when UNC-Chapel Hill buys an e-book, NC State, NCCU or Duke will have to buy its own copy, either in print or electronic format; request interlibrary loan of the print version of the book from another library; or, if UNC-Chapel Hill 's contract with the e-book provider permits walk-in use, direct its patron to the campus of Chapel Hill when a non-UNC patron of a TRLN member library wishes to use the title in question. How cumbersome and problematic – certainly not user-focused – what happened to our principle of sharing? Other financial and workflow issues include: E-books are priced at the hardcover price without the benefit of paperback version discounts E-books are not as easily identified as having or not having “shipped” or awaiting cataloging Problems with access by particular patron groups or IP ranges are discovered at the point that someone tries to access an e-book and cannot. Now, from context (why?) to action (how?)…..
TRLN's conversations with the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation began in early 2010, when the consortium was considering how planning funds would best advance its vision of unlimited resource sharing. TRLN's programmatic councils were examining existing barriers - in loan policies, technology, and licensed resources - to a single collection concept for the consortium. With its extensive experience building minimally overlapping print collections, council leaders felt TRLN was well-positioned to take a national leadership role in confronting the myriad of challenges with sharing electronic resources - including licensing and cost barriers and the growing popularity of acquisition on demand for electronic books. An award from Mellon was made in 2011 and planning for a summit began. In order to maximize the in person time at the summit, the Beyond Print Steering Committee envisioned the meeting in the style of a graduate seminar - with background materials presented and digested prior to the meeting. E-books encompass so many issues for libraries - including long-term preservation, metadata availability and quality, proliferation of formats and devices for reading the content - that the Committee decided to identify secondary or tertiary issues upfront and then set them aside on a "parking lot" for future consideration. The single story "lot" quickly became a "deck" as the list of peripheral issues grew. The primary issues of focus then became resource sharing, acquisition options and cost. Now I will turn over the platform to Sarah who will take us from “anecdote to data” as the Summit evolved.
We solidified around two models: Is based largely on the demand-driven models that are proliferating in the world of libraries where an individual purchase is made, access available to consortia based on short-term loan fees and use triggers and then reach a threshold for consortial-wide purchase/permanent access. Other is a base price model in two flavors: 1) to bring one copy into a consortia (collecting imperative that many consortia feel) and then pay more for titles that are widely/frequently accessed in the consortia and 2) to purchase a core collection at a multiplier of 50% or less. Both models would require caps or thresholds where title is permanently owned across the consortia. Provide relatively cost certainty for libraries and cap payments at a reasonable level for consortial-wide access. Caps proposed during the meetings at everything from equivalent of full purchase by 33% of members to 100% of members. If it is demand-driven, rather than up-front requirement, then we can pilot, experiment, and develop the model.
Devilish details: Fair short-term loan cost? Libraries pushing for true-micropayment model in $5-$10 range and publishers/vendors introducing models in $20-$30 range. Potential win-win is here in operational and shipping costs associated with print ILL. Incentives on both sides. In terms of artificial scarcity – ARL perspective is lose one simultaneous user and publisher perspective is lose all users when title is out on loan. We obviously have a lot of infrastructure work to do on both sides to enable short-term loans and ILL for e-books.
General challenges: Some publishers have infrastructure in the works to experiment and others do not. Publishers very concerned about managing the back-end and data to enable demand-driven models that scale from individual institutions to short-term loans to consortial thresholds as well as managing the payments to authors/creators. Implications of short-term loans that can shift costs from loaning institutions to borrowing institutions – not always ability to handle that economic transference. University presses. Joe Esposito has an excellent post on the scholarly kitchen about the issues around university press economics – two main issues being that many individual customers for these titles are found on college campuses and that constitutes a good portion of UP revenue and Evergreen titles that are course adoptions. Sarah referenced these, but initial consortial modeling demonstrates that the level of potential sales and revenue in a consortia is probably lower than most publishers might project. True costs for print ILL – this is critical to see if we can approach this area for economic transference to help enable the shift to electronic content. Preservation and long-term access. In many ways it feels like where we were 10 years ago with journals. We can figure this out, we just need the rights to enable processes to secure the content long-term. Putting together pilots for experimentation to dig into these issues is the most significant challenge and opportunity coming out of the summit. How to we bridge between status quo and complex emerging environment libraries want on business side to foster fruitful experimentation that libraries and publishers can afford while fostering migration to digital.
