ALCTS webinar: Holdings Comparisons: Why are they so complicated?

Date: November 28, 2012

  All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.

Description: As librarians look for innovative and effective ways to
collaborate and share resources, understanding holdings of partner
libraries is imperative not only for resource sharing but also for
preservation purposes. How can libraries work together to compare their
holdings as they think through issues of collection management and
preservation? This webinar will discuss the challenges of comparing
holdings and provide suggestions on how to understand the tools that are
available to do this.

Learning outcomes: Attendees will learn about the tools that are available
to help them compare holdings with their resource sharing partners.

Audience: The webinar is geared toward academic libraries and those
interested in understanding how their collections overlap with those of a
preservation agency, such as Portico or with the collection of another
library.

Presenter: Amy Kirchhoff has been the Archive Service Product Manager for
Portico since 2006. She is responsible for creation and execution of
archival policy and oversees operation and development of the Portico
website. Prior to her work at Portico, Amy was director of technology for
JSTOR and also served as a member of the shared software development group
at ITHAKA. She has published articles on Portico's preservation methodology
and policies in several publications including most recently Learned
Publishing and The Serials Librarian.

Sponsor: ALCTS thanks ITHAKA for their support of this webinar.
