Program:
1. What to Withdraw? Print collections management in the wake of
digitization
Presenters : Roger C. Schonfeld, Manager of Research, Ithaka S+R; and
Ross Housewright, Analyst, Ithaka S+R
As digitized journal backfile sets become available online, they
fulfill the lion's share of user access needs at academic
libraries, leading many librarians to call into question the need
to retain print. Can libraries securely reassign the stack space
occupied by decreasingly used print versions without risking
preservation? This talk will examine several key questions: Does
print preservation still matter, and if so, for how long will it
remain a relevant priority? What sort of preservation framework
is needed for legacy print collections? And, for which journals
is this preservation framework already in place, allowing for
responsible withdrawal today? Drawing from a report recently
released by Ithaka S+R, this talk will conclude with some remarks
about how the set of materials appropriate for withdrawal can be
expanded to allow libraries additional flexibility in their
collections management.
2. To Have and to Hold: MARC Format Holdings Data
Presenter: Sandy Chen, Electronic Resources & Serials Management
Librarian, Clarion University of Pennsylvania
The goal of the presentation is to describe the concepts behind
and importance of standardized holdings in library processes,
particularly, MARC Format for Holdings Data (MFHD) and Z39.71:
what they are, how they function, and how they help academic
libraries to serve patrons. Sandy will provide specific examples
of challenges in Clarion University of Pennsylvania Libraries'
implementation of these standards, along with descriptions of
better practices that other research libraries can use to
represent holdings data.
3. Pay-Per-Use Article Delivery at the University of Wisconsin
-Stevens Point
Presenters: Mindy King, Serials Librarian, University of Wisconsin --
Stevens Point Library; and Aaron Nichols, Access Services Librarian,
University of Wisconsin -- Stevens Point Library
Exponentially increasing journal costs are a fact of life.
Libraries can no longer afford to purchase expensive, low use
journals "just in case" an article is needed. Recently, the
University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point Library conducted a
pilot, pay-per-use article delivery program that offered "just in
time" access to articles our patrons actually need. Pay-per-use
article delivery requests are submitted by completing a standard
Interlibrary Loan request. Over a three month period, pay-per-use
users were surveyed regarding the convenience and quality of the
service. Positive survey results and feedback from university
faculty were used to cancel high cost/low use journals in favor
of the pay-per-use model, resulting in over $50,000 savings in
journals subscriptions. Cancellations are to begin January 2010,
at which time the survey will be reopened to gain feedback after
the print version is no longer available.
