Attendees will be led in a lively discussion and information sharing session to identify successful methods that can be used to move e-resources beyond acquisitions. Attendees will be exposed to a number of ideas for improving the management of their e-resources after acquisition and will leave the session with a greater understanding of the opportunities available to academic libraries in the cloud.

In conclusion there will be a discussion of how e-resource acquisition expertise is diverging in response to discovery and access. Nannette Naught, founder and information strategist at Information Management Team IMT Incorporated, will be speaking about her experience in modeling library data to bear on a conceptual framework enabling libraries to achieve true transformation. During her talk, Ms. Naught will describe four key pillars of next generation library systems. Improving the discovery search experience has largely focused on what is being searched but what about how users are searching?

If information professionals insist that users learn a different way of searching on discovery products, we risk imposing a poor and unfamiliar experience on those users. The design of discovery products might need to be in harmony with the Google and Wikipedia experiences that are such a natural reflexes for users, so that their overall experience is intuitive and aligns with their mental models and expectations of how the web-based navigation and content behave. During this presentation, we will describe the findings from multiple qualitative research studies about Google and Wikipedia usage, including:.

There are few that would disagree that pop culture influences how we live, think, behave, buy, learn etc. Large numbers of books are published each year in all genre categories. Quickly following what many expected to be a wholesale revolution in library practices, many institutional repositories encountered unforeseen problems and a surprising lack of impact. Clunky or cumbersome interfaces, lack of value and use by scholars, fear of copyright infringement and the like tended to dampen excitement and adoption. Libraries that have repositories, and those considering whether or not to take the plunge, are asking a number of questions we hope to address and discuss.

This lively lunch discussion will address four particular topics that are constant areas of focus for institutional repositories:. Choosing a Platform 2. Recruiting and Creating Content 4. Topics and themes that will be discussed at this lively lunch will mirror an upcoming Charleston Insights Series publication that is scheduled to be completed prior to the Charleston Conference.

Audience members will have likely experienced some of these concerns, so we expect them to join our lively discussion with questions and comments. Participants will walk away with an enhanced understanding of how to launch IRs, how the role of the IR has evolved, and what are some of the possible future directions of IRs. Slides from Barbara DeFelice Slides from Patti Gallilee Slides from Jennifer Goodrich Slides from Simon Thomson A growing number of funding bodies in the USA are mandating open access publication by those they fund and in the universities this is one reason for an increasing number of researchers who want to publish in open access or hybrid journals and seek financial help.

Some universities have their own allocated funds but they and many others have to find some way of matching funding with publishers for their researchers. It is now customary see libraries as administrators for these funds: The context for newcomers to the complexities of paying for open access will be provided but the main business will be practical problems and possible solutions. Those attending this session may find http: How we up-ended collection development and acquisitions: In Bucknell University eliminated its approval plan and moved to a "single-stream" entirely patron-driven model for monographs, both print and electronic.

During our presentation last year, we talked about the impact on acquisitions and the huge savings we immediately realized. Now that we've been PDA for two years, we are even more committed to this model! We will provide updated statistics and discuss the impact on technical services staffing and interlibrary loan.

We'll also talk about the addition of an e-book DDA plan that is proving hugely successful. Attendees will hear how we did it, why cloud services like OCLC WorldShare are essential, how it is working, and why we believe this is a very likely future for most libraries. We hope there will be lively discussion about what this means for the future of collection development and as well how one begins conversations like this with faculty and other stakeholders.

The economic challengers in higher education and healthcare coupled with continuing budget concerns have libraries, publishers and vendors making strategic changes as they seek to provide a high-level of services at a time when uncertainty continues to dominate planning and development.

Creative thinking has become the norm as organizations seek to challenge long-held views and uncover and implement needed changes. Librarians, publishers, and vendors have all experienced a period of assessment, strategic review and reaction as a result of the continued evolution from a print-based model to one dominated by electronic dissemination of scholarly information and the new role eBooks promise to play.

This presentation addresses some of the important actions taken by librarians, publishers and vendors to cope with changes forced by both the economy and budget pressures, by the continued migration of scholarly resources to electronic formats and by current and planned eBook activities and new eBooks models. It explores patterns in library content selection and spending trends, publisher prices and pricing models, as well as vendor strategies and tactics challenging and changing times. Data to be presented is the result of customer research conducted by EBSCO within the last six months.

Concern over issues of cost, access, the free-rider problem, and ongoing sustainability for scholarly monographs and their sponsoring publishers often university presses are not new issues, but the announcement of these large-scale initiatives have the potential to change the conversation and develop some viable solutions and new thinking in the research publication value chain. Critical to both these initiatives will be the involvement of university presses, for the processes of selection, development, vetting, and publication of monographs, and libraries as partners in developing new hosting capabilities and channels of dissemination.

This plenary will gather representatives from the ARL, AAU, and scholarly publishers to discuss recent developments with the proposed projects and how such ecosystem partnerships might function in the years to come. This new directory aims to give an overview of the production of OA resources worldwide covering all those resources that can be identified by an ISSN such as, journals, conference proceedings, monographic series and academic repositories.

No longer will the library be format agnostic in acquiring resources; only online resources will be purchased. How did this happen and what does it mean for the future of the library? More importantly, what may this suggest for other libraries?

What does this mean for the future of publishers and vendors? If the library is not going to buy any print books, then the rationale of current models is seriously challenged if not entirely inadequate. Publishers and libraries operate under fiscal and physical conditions that drive them further and further from mutually beneficial arrangements towards ones which are not sustainable nor good for either side.

Gone are the days when we thought first and foremost about a quality item that would stand the test of time on our shelves. Instead, we are interested only in our immediate value and extracting value from others in the Information Supply Chain or circle as many would argue. Is it really possible for libraries to maintain control of their content, spend less money in the process and provide open access to all? For many years commercial publishers have controlled what and how content was published and the terms under which it was offered to libraries and their patrons.

As an example, in the area of special collections, publishers have long offered to digitize important collections held by libraries at no cost to the institution. While the libraries receive back the digitized content, the digital rights remain with the publisher and the source library is restricted in what they can do with their own content. The collections become locked away forever behind expensive pay walls. While expedient, this model does not always align with the mission of libraries to advance scholarship by preserving and providing wide access to content to all who are interested.

The open access movement sprang to life in response to this and other commercial publishing models. The movement toward open access began with scholarly journals and has now pushed into monographs and special collections. At the same time, crowd-funding has proven to be an effective model for pooling resources to bring worthy projects to life. Reveal Digital is combining the concepts of open-access and crowd-funding to create a sustainable model for broadening access to library special collections.

Monday , November 3. Introduction to Data Curation Slides. This includes not only acquiring and managing data but also engagement with data creators and facilitating new forms of research through data use. This workshop will provide participants with an introduction to the primary opportunities, challenges, principles and strategies for addressing data curation within the context of libraries and archives.

It will be an interactive event, include a combination of lecture, discussion and practical exercises. As assistant director, Crabtree completely revamped Monday November 3, 9: Tuesday , November 4. Tuesday November 4, 9: Number of participants limited to Room permitting, reservations will be accepted the week of the conference. Payment by cash or check will be collected at time of tour. Tour will begin and end at Washington Park, on the northeast corner of Broad and Meeting.

Washington Park is approximately 1 mile from the Francis Marion Hotel. A minimum of 6 people needed for tour to go. Tuesday November 4, 3: Tour will begin and end at the stairs of the Library Society located at King Street. Tuesday November 4, 6: Wednesday , November 5. This session will cover the format transitions for current collecting as well as collections management, especially for monographs and other books. Participants will be encouraged to bring their own data pertaining to their college or university, such as collections usage, survey findings, and budget documents, for group discussion.

The workshop format will include the following components: An overview of national-level data that help to contextualize this issue and frame some of the key issues that individual institutions may wish to consider; Group discussion of strategies for incorporating evidence most effectively into institutional decision-making on these topics; Group review of participants' institution-level data, including what is useful and what is missing; and Time to begin formulating institutional plans for structuring evidence-based decision-making processes on these issues.

Participants will benefit from this workshop by improving their ability to incorporate evidence into decision-making processes about collections and collecting. There, he leads strategic consulting, surveys, and other research projects, designed for academic libraries, publishers, and scholarly societies. Previously, Roger was a research associate at The Andrew W. Wednesday November 5, 9: Using journal cancellations as a workplace scenario, the presenters will provide attendees with step-by-step instructions for organizing data and completing basic calculations with Excel.

Participants will learn how to import and export data, combine and compare data from different sources, and formatting data to communicate more effectively. The presenters will demonstrate how to use several advanced Excel functions including filtering data, conditional formatting, and select formulas like vlookup. The session will be held in a classroom with computers Addlestone Library Room , so attendees will be able to follow along by downloading an Excel file with sample data specifically created for this hands-on workshop.

However, these tools are limited by the very limited number of databases they compare and by their inability to combine content of the same vendor to analyze it against content provided by another vendor. In a series of tightly focused tutorials, this pre-conference will instruct participants in creating an MS Access database from start to finish using actual vendor title and holdings lists and in designing the appropriate queries to compare title and holdings content of multiple vendors. The focus will be on merging content offered by the same vendor and on holdings coverage and overlap, and an example will be made of alumni access databases offered by three different vendors whose content had to be analyzed to make a purchase decision.

Participants are asked to bring laptops installed with MS Office , as they will be supplied with the appropriate title lists and create their own Access database for content analysis during the tutorials. What do these growing areas mean for libraries? Do librarians have a role in such activities, and if so, in what way? This session will feature four case studies by librarians whose institutions have been involved in MOOCs and other online learning venues.

The goal of the session is to provide information, generate discussion, and spark ideas about how your own library might be part of this dynamic virtual environment. We welcome participation and ideas from others who have experience in such work, apart from the speakers themselves.

In response to a cut to our materials budget, we have developed a method that condenses a large amount of information into a few select criteria.

In this day-long workshop, we will walk through the process using the Decision Grid process developed by at the University of Maryland at College Park Foudy and McManus as a starting point. The workshop leaders will first demonstrate each step of our process, and then the participants will work in small groups using their own experiences and a sample data set of their own. The steps covered will include selecting and defining the criteria, gathering and analyzing the data, and determining how to make final decisions. We will cover some technical aspects of gathering and analyzing data, including using Excel functions.

We will also include discussions about the criteria and ways of eliciting honest and useful feedback from librarians and patrons. The participants will receive a flash drive with Excel templates that include formulas, as well as completed sheets with sample data, and the presentation files.

Wednesday November 5, 1: Many academic libraries have been relatively slow to build eBook collections for the long term, relying instead on leasing content, purchasing limited use titles and often quietly relegating selection to library users thus implementing short term selection modalities predominantly in lieu of long term collection building.

Libraries may be abdicating a professional role in selection and collection development by using these limited view approaches. It is right for our profession, right for the long term support of scholarly monographs, and right for our users. Present several approaches and basic principles for building eBook collections for the long term, Present overviews of the current state of the eBook industry, Describe library wide support facilitating multi-modal approaches to eBook collection building, Report on the immediate impact of eBook collection building on a typical university campus, Describe the roles, reactions, and involvement of students, faculty, and the campus bookstore, Analyze use data and use patterns as well as cost effectiveness metrics.

In addition to a variety of library staff, we will be joined by professionals who work with libraries and eBook publishers directly.

Almost every librarian responsible for arranging electronic access to information has had to review or negotiate not just prices but contractual terms, adding hours — sometimes frustrating hours at that — to the process of buying materials.

But few have legal training, and most non-sales people haven't spent a lot of time thinking about what underpins successful negotiations. Negotiating with Vendors brings together librarians and vendors to help you prepare for these discussions. You'll come away with a better understanding of what is involved in negotiating, why licenses matter, and how to use them to safeguard your rights and ensure that both parties' obligations are made clear. Some of the dizzying legalese will come into focus, and armed with fresh insights you'll be able to approach license discussions with less anxiety and doubt.

The workshop will include group participation and will share real-world examples, illustrated by case studies of digital projects that really worked …or didn't. Libraries, scholarly societies, and other cultural heritage organizations today are building digital resources that are valuable for community engagement, teaching, and scholarship, including multi-format educational projects to digitized collections to born-digital works and innovative software tools.

While some may be experiments and are valuable for the experience they offer or the capacity they build within an institution, others create collections of content, dynamic websites, or other resources that are intended to continue well beyond their initial creation. As these projects and resources continue, their creators often face the challenge of identifying financial and non-financial resources that will permit them to maintain their value over time.

This session encourages project leaders to define the intended impact of a digital project, assess its current or potential audience and the wider environment in which it operates, and consider sources of financial and non-financial support, using tools developed with feedback from hundreds of project leaders worldwide.

Stratigos co-founded Outsell, Inc. From Course Reserves…to Course Reversed? Yet beyond the course reserve desk, libraries have traditionally played a relatively small role on campus for the most common form of content in higher education, textbooks. Today, everything about textbooks and other course content is changing quickly. Spiraling costs have made textbooks a political issue in some states, while at the same time traditional textbook publishers experience economic pressures both from the growth of the used and rental markets and from new technological demands from the professors who assign their online books as well as from the students who use them.

Librarians have begun to take notice, reversing course on the traditional library view of textbooks. A number of libraries are looking for more affordable ways for students to access textbooks. Many are leveraging open educational resources OER as alternatives to expensive, commercially-published textbooks. Other libraries have themselves become textbook publishers. This changed course has led librarians sometimes into new alliances and sometimes into degrees of conflict with other organizations, such as bookstores, commercial publishers, university presses, and aggregators.

If search engines are optimized to provide the best results, regardless of the source of the content, or the resource from which a record originated, the focus is on the full-text linking. How and why did the link appear? What is the user experience? Do users want to see multiple links to full text or do they just want to see the article? How effective accurate, simple is the link resolver experience for your users? How can it be optimized? How can usage via the link resolver be tracked back to the source? What are the emerging standards? This session explores fears of bias, the approaches to take control of your discovery service through customization, and ways to maximize the user experience.

Thursday November 6, Digital distribution of content provides clear advantages to all stakeholders in scholarly communications, but it also introduces new complexities and challenges. The exercise of control is a significant one. Is media — whether for scholarly or for entertainment purposes— going to be more open, instead of closed? Does stringent digital rights management DRM help or hinder the development and use of content?

Do devices which enable broader and more immediate access to content affect pricing and control? How do librarians and publishers protect their interests, and ensure that content can be purchased, owned, and used most effectively?

I've now realised for the first time in my life the vital Importance of being Earnest. As politicians, education reformers, and social critics point out relentlessly, STEM literacy is crucial to the nation's well-being, not simply as an economic driver but because average citizens must increasingly grapple with the practical and ethical impacts of new science and technologies in their lives.

This is not a formula for success. Some science communicators, particularly those in the general media, recognize this problem and try a lighter approach to explaining science. The danger there, however, is that they can flirt with triviality. They may succeed in making science seem appealing, but at the risk of portraying science as a carnival of disjointed fun facts.

Neither extreme does justice to conveying the real vitality and substance of science, and neither does much to help students and others find careers or otherwise prosper in a STEM-dominated future. John Rennie, editorial director of McGraw-Hill Education's AccessScience, a recipient of the Carl Sagan Award for Public Understanding of Science, and a former editor in chief of Scientific American , will discuss better ways to communicate science both meaningfully and appealingly. With examples drawn from his decades of experience working in print, online, and television, he will explore the significance of accuracy and what that really means , relevance, context, credibility and authority, as well as the importance of earnestly!

In response to this deluge of potential innovation, lightning talks, shotgun sessions and elevator pitches designed to help us understand these technologies have become a mainstay of publishing and library conferences alike. Despite this, it is very difficult for libraries and publishers alike to not only keep up with it all, but to understand which technologies will truly help them meet their specific needs and goals as well as serving academics at every stage of the research cycle. This session will offer an overview of this complex, shifting landscape, and to explore the ways in which we might think about the role of technology in the scholarly landscape.

The Compensation Solution: How to Develop an Employee-Driven Rewards System

Just as particular architectural design features make it possible, or impossible, for people with certain disabilities to move about independently, so does the design of the electronic environment, which includes all the library e-resources, creates either enabling or disabling conditions. Recent research indicates that when librarians make decisions about the selection of specific online resources, such as e-books and article databases, the needs of people with disabilities are rarely on their radar screen.

Collection development policies requiring conformance to established accessibility standards, Section and WCAG 2. Also, books on collection development, often used as textbooks to train the next generation of librarians, do not cover the issue adequately, if they address it at all. This program, which brings together the perspectives of three speakers—a researcher, a university administrator with expertise in accessibility issues, and a major database vendor representative—is particularly tailored towards librarians involved in selecting e-resources for their institutions.

The presentations will take up 45 minutes, with additional time for discussion. At the end of this program, attendees will more knowledgeable about how collection development decisions impact the accessibility of e-resources to people with disabilities, be informed about California State University's approach to accessibility and library e-learning resources, better understand the vendor's perspective on this issue, and be encouraged to develop effective strategies to make the online environment at their own libraries more inclusive.

Many are revisiting their allocation procedures to see if there are better methods of distributing funds to each subject area. Arkansas State University makes annual collection development allocations to academic departments and units using a weighted allocation formula. The use of weights applied to each formula factor is key to the success of this formula. Factors include the number of students majoring in each degree program, departmental semester credit hour production at various levels, the number of faculty in each department, and the average costs of books and journals in each discipline.

The presenters will discuss how the formula is constructed, factors used and why each was selected, and the assigning of weights to each factor. The basic formula will be demonstrated live during the session and attendees will be able to see how seemingly small changes in one part of the formula can lead to major changes in the results. Participants will take away an understanding of the process of creating a collection development allocation formula and leave with access to the basic version of a working allocation formula they can modify for use at their library.

Earnestly Seeking Greater Flexibility: This presentation sheds light on a relatively new phenomenon that needs more earnest consideration from all kinds of libraries: The presenters, one from a corporate library background and one from an academic background, have extensive experience in utilizing PPV.

They plan to detail pros and cons of PPV and how it allows for greater access for users with more financial flexibility for acquisitions budgets. Discussions among acquisitions and collection development librarians in recent years have focused on demand-driven acquisitions DDA for e-books. The presenters believe that PPV for journals is in the same vein but even more far-reaching and beneficial. Marija Markovic holds M.

This session will provide an overview of how library catalogs, link resolvers and discovery systems work and will present case studies of how publisher metadata embedded in these systems supports the discovery experience for academic library users. Examples from several publishers will be highlighted to illustrate different approaches that publishers can take in providing metadata to libraries and library service providers. Attendees will also learn about existing metadata standards that address metadata quality and formats.
