Just in time for Open Access Week, SUNY Geneseo and The IDS Project
proudly announce the release of Building Responsive Library Collections
with the Getting It System Toolkit, a free ebook, available
at:http://opensuny.org/omp/index.php/IDSProject/catalog/book/177e
The Getting It System Toolkit (GIST) is a suite of free and open source
tools & software, leverages systems to optimize library acquisitions and
deselection workflow, reducing the staff time necessary to make informed
decisions and process materials. The Toolkit is divided into two functions:
GIST for ILLiad consists of three components that enhance the ILLiad®
interlibrary loan request management software: addons, webpage
customizations, and the acquisitions manager. All three components may
be selectively utilized in ILLiad, for instance, ILLiad web pages may be
applied to enhance the end-user request interface to add full-text
discovery, or an ILLiad Addon can help ILL’s purchase on demand program
discover the best way to purchase items difficult to borrow. By
combining all three and customizing these components for your library,
you achieve significant benefits and optimize the combination of
Acquisitions and ILL services.
The GIST Gift & Deselection Manager (GDM) is designed to manage and
streamline library workflow for processing gifts and evaluating
materials for weeding. It is standalone open-source software that
automates the gathering of data for evaluating donations; including
holdings, edition comparisons, full-text, and other data. The GDM also
enables collection managers to perform item-by-item deselection or use
the batch analysis tool to create custom deselection reports for large
weeding projects.
Building Responsive Library Collections with the Getting It System
Toolkit combines helpful how-tos from the developers themselves, and
first-hand implementation accounts from users of these time-saving
tools. The volume is split into the Toolkit’s use with ILLiad and GDM,
providing easy reference for users. This manual is an invaluable
resource to any library using, or considering using, the Getting It
System Toolkit.
