RE: [ALCTS-acqnet] Fw: [ALCTScentral] Acquisition program for faculty-authored books

We also have an alert set up in Gobi.  We don’t have separate money set aside to purchase faculty books, they just come out of the regular book money- we only buy authored and edited, not chapter.  Years ago, the Provost’s office produced a written annual report on Faculty publications but since we went to an online system of reporting what you have done for the year (FARS), the print report is no longer published.   Otherwise, we don’t have a systematic way of purchasing the titles, other than the Gobi notification, a faculty asking us to purchase or some other random way.

One project that our cataloging department is taking on is identifying titles already in our catalog of faculty books, in order to add the note to the record.  We add “Book by AU Faculty” to the 590 field.

This thread is a good prompt for me to contact the Provost’s office to see if I can somehow get a list of faculty works each year, generated out of FARS

We acquire authored or edited faculty books, but not chapters. Our vendor, Coutts, set up a profile in OASIS to identify such books. It does not catch everything as not all publishers include the author affiliation in their metadata. We have a form for faculty to self identify, we ask academic departments if they keep lists, and about once a year we have a student worker look at faculty websites.

Dear colleagues,



UConn Library is planning a program to start systematically acquiring UConn faculty-published books (monographs) for inclusion in our collections. Does your library run such a program? How is it scoped, e.g., do you buy books where your faculty contributed only a chapter? How do you obtain lists of faculty-authored works? Any tech specs would be very helpful, if you’re willing to share.
