Data Visualization from Scratch
Registration Cost: $225 - Register on the Main Conference Registration Page

The importance of communicating library value is widely accepted and understood- data visualization is a particularly powerful tool for doing just that. Using data visualization offers an opportunity to empower librarians, their users, and their stakeholders. Visualization is a way to create dynamic, engaging, and intuitive interactive resources which can serve as tools for education and outreach.

Leverage data in your library by developing powerful visualizations based on your institution’s collection data. In this hands-on, day-long session, participants will apply visualization to their own usage and holdings data.

Attendees will learn techniques to examine, select and interpret datasets for visualization. The speakers will highlight and emphasize techniques for cleaning and organizing data for visualization.

After receiving orientation and training on visualization tools and applications, including Tableau and NodeXL, participants will have the opportunity to collaborate with the speakers and their peers to create their own visualizations for future use and the opportunity to begin building a collection dashboard for their institution.

Predators, “Pirates” and Privacy: Educating Researchers on New Challenges in Publishing
Registration Cost: $140 - Register on the Main Conference Registration Page

Offered in collaboration with the Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP).

From the journals on Beall’s List to the controversy surrounding articles on sites such as SciHub, scholarly communication faces continuing challenges from a new set of players. Today’s researchers must publish to ensure their promotion and tenure, but the increasingly complex publishing space now leaves them in need of a new and different level of support. Librarians are in an ideal position to educate faculty and researchers about the information industry conversations taking place around predatory publishing practices,  “piracy,” and privacy, and how even seemingly innocuous actions (such as sharing a username and password)  can have negative implications for themselves and their universities.  As publishers look to new data privacy and authentication measures to protect user data and secure content, these trends will certainly affect their customers and ease of use for end-users.

Come learn about the multitude of ways that predatory publishers attempt to manipulate authors through fake journals, fictitious editorial boards, lack of peer review, and spurious article processing charges. Learn from publishers and library services professionals about the challenges of authentication and privacy along with new ways to ensure the integrity of scholarly communications. Starting with panel sessions and then moving to a roundtable discussion format, this practical session will provide you with concrete takeaways that you can use to educate and protect your patrons, along with information on what’s coming in terms of data and content protection.

As a CAE Approved Provider educational program related to the CAE exam content outline, this program may be applied for 4  credits toward your CAE application or renewal professional development requirements.

E-Resources Management
Registration Cost: $125 - Register on the Main Conference Registration Page

Libraries and librarians are being pressured to work smarter and more efficiently. How does one manage the library’s resources when we are adding new faculty, new courses, increasing numbers of students, users are shifting to e-resources, and we are told cut our materials budget? What are other institutions and publishers doing to help you?

Upgrade your experience by learning some approaches from a panel of three publishers and four librarians, and by sharing your experiences at this interactive session. We will focus on set up, access, technology, delivery, and organizational constraints. What works and what doesn’t work?

Legal Issues in Libraries
Registration Cost: $225 - Register on the Main Conference Registration Page

Librarians are faced with legal issues every day but, without knowing what to look for, it can be easy to miss or misunderstand them.  Conventional wisdom that offers easy answers can be tempting but may provide a false sense of security.  Even worse, by trying to follow rules we don’t really understand, we may unnecessarily impede the library’s ability to do good work.  Through a series of discussions and group activities, this day-long session will prepare librarians to make informed, thoughtful decisions in key legal areas that are becoming ever more crucial in institutional settings, including:

  1. Information Ownership and Mission.  Who owns instruction-centered materials (syllabi, online courses, student notes, etc.)?  What is the statutory baseline behind licenses?  How do institutional policies come into play?  What about intellectual property beyond (c) – patent, trademark, and tech transfer?  How should we think about what we have vs. what we own – repositories, research data, and meeting funder mandates?

  2. Security, Equal Treatment, and Liability in Libraries.   What are emerging legal standards for safety and freedom from harassment?  What is our employment liability?

  3. Privacy and Disclosure:  How can we come to a better understanding of FERPA, HIPAA, and other regulations?  What’s happening in the areas of confidentiality and data security?  What can libraries do to protect user privacy for library materials? How can libraries help users understand privacy rights and risks?

  4. Accessibility, Lawsuits, and VPATs.  Given ADA, OSHA, and disability requirements, how can we make physical spaces accessible?  How should we think about accessibility for websites and other online services?

  5. Horizon Issues and Uncharted Waters. What is on the horizon with makerspaces, data visualization, digital humanities, and other innovations?  How do you navigate and keep up with new guidelines, best practices, documents, and cases?  What are effective strategies for risk management?

The session will conclude with a summary of issues that will need further follow-up with professionals, and discussion of how that follow-up may be better achieved.

Exploring New Roles of Academic Libraries in a Changing Knowledge Landscape
Registration Cost: $125 - Register on the Main Conference Registration Page

This workshop explores the future roles of academic libraries, and what new library technologies might be needed to support them. The workshop is based on the insights gathered through the Collaboration between Index Data, EBSCO, and the Kuali-OLE libraries to build a new Open Source Library Service Platform (LSP). The project is very much conceived as an engine of change in the industry, and a means of facilitating conversations and collaboration around new kinds of library services.

During the workshop, several key members of the Collaboration will present an overview of key findings to date, and engage participants in a structured exchange of ideas around central themes which have been identified so far. This includes (but is not limited to) supporting knowledge productivity, ensuring an integrated delivery experience, engaging in shared efforts across libraries and not the least exploring new business models.

This workshop is not designed to be a sales pitch for any open source software or for the specific platform, but an earnest desire to engage in conversation around these themes and topics. This is a great chance to participate in a strategic and open minded conversation that can help shape the future of academic libraries.

The strategic workshop will be highly interactive. Participation will therefore be limited to 30 people.

Negotiating with Vendors
Registration Cost: $125 - Register on the Main Conference Registration Page

The introduction of digital content created a new link in the information chain: the license. 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 party’s 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.

You Can’t Preserve What You Don’t Have – Or Can You? Libraries as Infrastructure for Perpetual Access to Intellectual Output.
Since their existence, libraries have been responsible for preserving society’s records and intellectual output. This ancient and important role is under serious threat in the digital age. Even for scholarly journals, the issue of perpetual access has not been solved, other than by libraries buying access to archival materials. Recently, it became clear that the open access business model, with a focus on free access to new publications, introduces new problems for the archival role of libraries.

So if ownership is crucial for preservation, who will ensure future generations have access to scholarly journal content of past times? Who are the actors in this new environment and what opportunities can be identified to address this important issue?

Libraries as Convener, Enabler, Distributor, Advocate, and Archive in the Future Knowledge Economy
By 2026, there will be no information and services industry targeting products to the library marketplace. Content and applications will be directed to the consumer. Open resources for learning, research and recreation, and open source tools supporting innovation, and individual and organizational productivity, will be more prevalant in the global economy. Self-publishing and niche technology development will dominate. Information policy wars will dictate national and global legal and legislative debates. Libraries will be effectively integrated into the new creative environments.

Doin' the Charleston Walking Tour
Reservations Required; $20 per person

In the early 1900s, Charleston experienced a renaissance fueled by artists, writers, musicians, poets, and preservationists. Alice Ravenel Huger Smith, Elizabeth O’Neill Verner, and Alfred Hutty created lovely intimate scenes of the old city to sell to tourists. Charleston’s Poetry Society, one of the first of its kind, was formed in 1920. Dubose Heyward collaborated with George Gershwin to transform his novel Porgy into the opera “Porgy and Bess”. Jenkins Orphanage jazz bands played in the streets of Charleston, then New York and London. The arts brought much needed attention to the rather beleaguered city and lent support to the budding preservationist movement in Charleston. (2 hour tour, covering about a mile)

Lee Ann Bain and Carol Ezell-Gilson will be your guides for the tours. All tours are $20 per person and payment may be made in cash or check at tour time.  Reservations for all tours may be made at broadstreettours.com.  Tours must have a minimum of 6 people to go.

Cynthia Graham Hurd Memorial Scholarship Presentation
Cynthia Graham Hurd was a librarian for over 31 years in Charleston public and academic libraries.  She worked as the branch manager of the popular St. Andrews Regional Library, and as a part-time reference librarian at the College of Charleston. On June 17, 2015, her life ended when a lone gunman entered the historic Emanuel AME Church and killed nine people during a prayer meeting. Cynthia is remembered as a “tireless servant of the community who spent her life helping residents, making sure they had every opportunity for an education and personal growth.” 

Springer Nature is proud to honor the legacy of Cynthia Graham Hurd by awarding a scholarship to a librarian who has demonstrated an active interest in the profession, but has not had an opportunity to attend the Charleston Library Conference due to lack of institutional funding.

Building the Knowledge School
The rise of the information school movement has been seen as both a positive and negative reality in the preparation of librarians. Have undergraduate programs taken away resources and attention from the masters in library science? Has the growth of faculty with little or no understanding of libraries diluted the field? Lankes will lay out his thoughts for moving past the arguments to defining a knowledge school. A school focused on impact in communities and built upon the values of librarians, but serving the needs of a broader information infrastructure.

Rolling with the Punches... and Punching Back: The Millennial Librarian’s Approach to Library Budgets and Acquisitions
We work in libraries that are constantly evolving; collections are shifting formats, budgets are shrinking, and a new crop of millennial librarians are stepping up to lead through these changes. There is no single "right" way to manage a library budget or collection, but the perception of what makes a library great has changed as millennials have begun managing libraries in new and innovative ways. This session will present the budgeting and collection management approaches of several libraries (public, academic, and academic law) under the leadership of veteran library administrators through the eyes of new, millennial leaders. Attendees will then hear these millennial leaders' perspectives on how these strategies can be changed to better suit the libraries' current and future needs, including suggestions on how best to think strategically, with long-term goals in mind, and work with vendors, administration outside of the library (such as boards of directors or university administration), and library staff.

Working in Partnership to Support Quality Research
Helping to support the best quality research in all fields is a core mission of both publishers and librarians. So how do we collaborate to do this and how could we do more? This talk will explore the ways that we work together to support both the production of quality research and the dissemination of the findings. Support for authors includes providing access to content as well as tools to help the process of writing and publication. In today’s world the new author is faced with a bewildering array of options and a few pitfalls to avoid. How can we do more to help them navigate this complex landscape? And as the researcher becomes more and more specialized and overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the published literature, how can we both work toward a shared goal helping researchers find and use the information they need and ensure that their work is read by their peers? In addition to journal articles, this might include data and grey literature, eg conference papers. Search and discovery plays a major role and is a key area of current and potential future collaboration between publishers and librarians.

A New Open Source LSP? Oh My!
Recently, libraries learned of FOLIO - a new community collaboration to develop an open source library services platform (LSP). The collaboration of vendors and libraries is working to bring an LSP to market that includes traditional ILS functionality but also promises to innovate in dramatically new ways. The community - comprised of librarians and technologists, designers, service providers and vendors - has the potential to reshape the library technology space in ways we haven't seen before.

There's enormous possibility in this initiative, and as libraries it behooves us to explore further. What are our needs and wants when it comes to an open source LSP? How and when does open source become an option that allows for mass adoption? How should we as libraries innovate and how can we help shape the direction of the systems we rely on? And how, as a discipline, do we embrace change as we look towards the future of our technology space?

This panel will explore the new LSP initiative. We will look at our resource management needs, our need to align more closely with the broader academic institution, and the need for real innovation in library technology.

Author Identifiers in the Research Life-Cycle
This session will provide an overview of the role of author identifiers in scholarly communication, with a particular focus on ORCID and ResearcherID. Author identifiers help  solve the name disambiguation problem by providing researchers with a unique identifier that they can connect with their scholarly output, and use when submitting or creating future scholarly work. As an open identifier, ORCID is now embedded in hundreds of systems across all researcher workflows - funding, publishing, research institutions, scholarly associations, and more. ResearcherID, developed by Thomson Reuters (now Clarivate Analytics), is a proprietary author identifier that enables researchers to manage their publication lists, track their times cited counts and h-index, identify potential collaborators and avoid author misidentification; it’s also integrated with Web of Science and is ORCID compliant. After a brief overview of identifiers in the research infrastructure, there will be a short introduction to ORCID and ResearcherID, followed by strategies for librarians at colleges and research universities to encourage the use of author identifiers including ORCID and ResearcherID. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion of key opportunities and challenges, learning points and successes, including a mix of pre-prepared and audience questions.

Cutting the Cord: Learning to Live Without Comprehensive Journal Packages
Academic libraries have become increasingly dependent on large journal packages. Initially these “big deals” were a boon for libraries who needed to provide more online access to journal articles, but found it difficult to manage, much less pay, for these serials. Journal packages represented both convenient aggregated access and to some degree savings, but over time librarians started to question whether the “big deal” was really worth it. Article usage statistics were good overall, but were all of the titles being used enough to justify paying for them as part of a large online collection? Rising costs and lack of control over the exact content paid for are making some libraries question the real value of journal packages.

Using a case study with an anonymous publisher, this presentation will provide a review of the decision making process that ultimately led to the cancellation of an entire large journal package (over 1400 titles) at San Francisco State University’s J. Paul Leonard Library. The rationale behind this decision was based on a detailed cost/use analysis of the package. Another factor in the decision was the challenge of maintaining other resource commitments in an environment with a stagnant collections budget. Because of this the Library had to prioritize resources including journal packages. The presentation will include a summary of the data analysis involved. It will also provide a discussion of the impact the decision has had on the Library and the University as a whole. That impact included a need to communicate with stakeholders (and their reactions) as well as the desire to provide continued access to valued resources through other means, such as interlibrary services and “demand driven” models.

The “big deal” journal packages have become an important part of academic library collections in recent years, to the extent that they are often seen as indispensable, but the experience of J. Paul Leonard Library has shown that you can cut the cord and still survive.

Do We Approve? New Models for Assessing Approval Plans
Approval plans are an established method of acquiring library materials whereby a vendor selects material for a library based on profiles established by the Library. At Yale University, we allocate a significant percentage of our collections budget to monograph approval plans. While some academic libraries have reduced or eliminated book approval plans in favor of new acquisition models, like demand driven or evidence-based acquisitions, others, including Yale, continue to rely heavily on traditional approval plans for collection development.

Using fifteen years of Yale Library acquisitions and circulation data, we have developed models that allow for approval plan assessment by various facets, such as language, publication year, publisher, and approval vendor. We compare use of approval plan books, patron-requested purchases, and titles individually selected by librarians. We examine approval plan monographs in the context of resource sharing networks. We also examine approval plan acquisitions in the context of our growing collection of e-books, including licensed subscription models (Ebrary, Overdrive) and perpetual access e-book packages (e.g. Springer, Project Muse/UPCC). The goal is to create a viable model for ongoing assessment of our approval programs in the context of our overall collection development strategy.

Our findings have led to changes in Yale's approval plan profiles and have informed decisions about e-book acquisitions. Like all good analytics projects, the data also led us to ask more questions about community engagement with collections.

Attendees will learn about our assessment model and have the opportunity to pose questions about the data and user engagement.

This session is co-authored by Julie Linden, Associate Director of Collection Development, Yale University Library and Sarah Tudesco, Assessment Librarian, Yale University Library, who were unable to attend the conference.

From One to Many: Creating a Culture of Research Reputation Management
Faculty and the institutions they work for have increasingly strong needs to manage their research reputations. Syracuse University Libraries assists individuals and institutional offices in determining metrics such as the H index, citation counts, altmetrics, etc. and provides context to these metrics. The first presenter will illustrate how the Libraries provide assistance in managing one's individual research reputation using subscription based and freely available tools. The second presenter will outline how institutional wide reputation is being cultivated in cooperation with other campus units. Lastly, the third presenter will discuss the value of and how a subscription based vendor is vital to helping individual researchers and institutions increase their research reputation.

All three presenters will outline the resources needed to develop these tools and services - within the libraries, within the university, and while working with a subscription based vendor. They will discuss the challenges of capturing research output beyond traditional scholarly communication methods in these systems. Lastly they will share recommendations for developing research reputation management services at your own institution.

How Readers Discover Content in Scholarly Publications
The results of our large scale survey (n=40443) into researcher discovery behavior sheds a great deal of light on the adoption of library technologies by readers, by job role, sector, country, and region. They show the gulf between search resources used by librarians and those selected by their patrons in North America. In addition we can see to what extent institutional repositories are seen as a resource for scholars and can look forward to how recent changes in results display within Google Scholar may change the balance of where readers download journal articles.

If You Can't Beat 'Em, Join 'Em: Embracing Alternative Avenues of Discovery

In our information-rich world, students and faculty can easily find a wealth of content through a wide range of discovery tools, often bypassing the library entirely or only coming back to the library inadvertently as the result of a successful search. The 2015 Horizon Library report has continued to identify this "Competition from Alternative Avenues of Discovery" as a difficult challenge. Libraries can either cede their traditional role in facilitating discovery or can embrace the potential of these new tools. Building on a session at this year's ER&L Conference, this session will explore how libraries can broaden their approach to discovery by enhancing single-search discovery services to better compete with other tools while simultaneously embracing the potential of new tools and technology to allow users a range of discovery options. This program will explore ways in which library discovery services can be optimized to provide easy access to owned, subscribed, and curated content, whatever the source; how a publishers can study usage patterns to maximize discovery and access; and how libraries can take advantage of innovative new tools and approaches to discovery.

If You Ease the DRM, Will They Read?
This paper examines changes in readership of Canadian presses Ebooks due to the removal of restrictions by the publishers (DRM).

In 2013, the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) and 12 members of the Association of Canadian University Presses/Association Des Presses Universitaires Canadiennes (ACUP/APUC), in conjunction with eBOUND Canada, partnered to provide access via OCUL's Scholars Portal (SP) books platform. The license agreement included a section on Digital Rights Management (DRM) that asked SP to provide access control technologies to limit the use of content and devices. However, the license agreement also included a commitment by publishers to review DRM restrictions on an annual basis and gradually limit them.

Three years into the agreement and several publishers had already removed the restrictions for over two hundred titles. Titles that initially were loaded onto Adobe Content Server (ACS, the technology selected to enforce the DRM) and were limited to one user at a time, are now available with no restrictions.

Our paper will present the results of measuring use for titles that were moved out of the ACS and put onto the SP non-DRM platform. It will examine whether it is true to assume, as one often may, that DRM e-books do not encourage e-reading; has the use of titles no longer restricted by ACS really increased? Finally, it will discuss our strategy to overcome the difference in methods for measuring readership across platforms and technologies, in order to look at the use of specific titles.

Librarians, Publishers, and Aggregators - The New Collaborators
Librarians, publishers and aggregators are collaborating more today than ever before. As demand for streamlined approaches to licensing of content increases and content types evolve libraries, publishers and content aggregators have been working together to develop solutions for licensing content to enhance research and scholarly collaboration.

Consider eBooks and eJournals, fragmentation of content into individual articles, images, video and more. The advent of gray literature such as blogs and tweets as part of the research cycle. This ever-expanding need for content of all types has increased the need to develop tools to enhance research and discovery of the right content no matter the format. And of course there is copyright. Doesn't copyright always factor when licensing content?

This session will update us all on the latest and greatest licensing solutions and include an interactive discussion with the audience to hear what they are adopting, developing or hoping for!

Topics include:





  • How publishers, libraries and aggregators are jointly developing unique content sets that best target the needs of the academic and research community



  • How non-traditional content, like blogs and tweets, are used by library researchers that otherwise would be difficult to discover and collect.



  • The opportunities to license fragments of content including images and video and the value they bring to content creators and consumers



  • The role of copyright-how all this activity can be done legally and easily

Open Access and Open Data, Rolling with the Times: Case Studies of Librarians Helping Authors and Institutions Comply
As mandates for open access expand beyond publications into open data, librarians continue to play a central role. This panel will include representative case studies around the variety of roles librarians assume in helping both the authors and their institution remain in compliance. Librarian contributions include interpreting funder policies and publisher offerings, researching and/or making available financial resources to support open efforts, advocacy, ensuring authors make the right choice to meet their funders' requirements, overseeing payments, and handling deposition to institutional and funder required repositories. Through key exemplar cases, this panel seeks to provide a common understanding of the variety of roles librarians have come to play in an open world, to identify challenges they continue to face in their efforts, and to share solutions to those problems.

Reimagining the Library: Relationships between Library Collections, Space and Public Services
What defines the library - the collections or the services? How do libraries stay relevant and respond to users' needs? Ask any group of users and one can expect an equally diverse response based on the premise of what the need of the moment is. Increasingly, academic and public libraries are creating new service points to help users develop fresh or different skills. As the diversity of communities increase due to immigration, social change, demographic shifts, the role of the library increases, too. The Makerspace and Gaming Studios, technical writing and resume labs, outdoor reading spaces and collaborative work spaces, in addition to the range of public events and exhibitions taking place in libraries expands the scope and reach of both campus and community services. Equally important, these service areas bridge the role libraries have with other academic and civic units and businesses within the community. Being responsive at the time of need is among the challenges libraries face in the planning and execution of new services that build on collection strengths and directions. Digital natives have different needs and expectations of libraries and using social media to increasingly connect with users has seen profound advantages. Many successful marketing and communications strategies and examples that promote libraries and their collections and services will be shared by creative staff from the Rotterdam Public Library and the University of California, Irvine Libraries that will showcase the links between the discovery of collections and services and the diverse communities they serve.

Shotgun Session: Collection Development Analysis and Assessment Thread
These short “pecha kucha-like” sessions will feature 5 PowerPoint presentations of 6 minutes and 40 seconds each. We will have time at the end of the session intended for Q&A for all presenters. Come for a lively, rapid-fire group of talks.

1. Setting our "sites" on a tiered collection: One major health care system's rapid expansion (Laura Schimming)

Institutional mergers and affiliation changes occur rapidly, especially in health care, and librarians should be equipped to respond to these changes in library collections, user populations, and budgets.  When Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai combined with a health network of four large teaching hospitals in 2014, Mount Sinai's Levy Library was suddenly charged with providing library access for four new hospital sites, including a huge increase in the number of faculty, nurses, and resident physicians.  

This presentation will discuss institutional affiliation changes from the library's perspective, including the Levy Library's process of building library access for a greatly expanded user base and additional hospital sites "from the ground up."  This project included efforts to extend existing library subscriptions to additional sites, remove duplicate spending, negotiate with vendors to leverage current spend levels, manage 5 different budgets, and communicate with stakeholders.  This presentation will also examine the library's ultimate decision to create a two-tiered library collection, including one tier for academic users and one for hospital users.
 
2. The Stratigraphy of Subject Liaison Work: Using Data Visualization as the Bedrock for Faculty-informed Collection Development (Stephanie Hess)
 
As subject liaisons, we frequently gather input from faculty members in our assigned departments to help inform collection development decisions. Faculty expertise paired with the cost data and usage statistics harvested by librarians offers us a better overall picture of the true value and impact of a particular journal title or database when managing our print and digital subscriptions. However, engaging faculty members in such conversations can be quite challenging. 

Data visualization can help drum up dialogues about collections, particularly in disciplines which rely heavily on modelling. For example, upon inheriting the environmental studies, geology, and map subjects at Binghamton University, I received a lengthy Excel spreadsheet of journals ranked by the faculty that included pricing, fund codes, and usage statistics from 2003-2008.  After adding missing years of data, I uploaded the revised file to our electronic resource management system which acts as the central repository for recording commentary by librarians and faculty.

This approach created a rich, multi-layered data deposit, ready to be excavated in order to build interactive models to share with geology faculty when discussing collections decisions. Ideally, presenting data in more exciting formats will help facilitate the annual review of library resources purchased with geology funds and assist with budget justifications as necessary. Possessing a limited science background, I hope to garner new faculty input so as to better assess and expand our extant geology collection, thereby ensuring that the Binghamton University Libraries continues to meet the ongoing research needs of its geology faculty and students. 
 
3. Create Impact with Data Visualization (Kathleen Bauer) 

Making an effective argument about the library collection and its use is key to winning backing for the collection budget, but it can difficult to attract and hold people's interest when giving them a lot of information about a collection. This challenge is complicated by the complex, large amount of data that are used to describe the collection and its use.  Data that need to be communicated include pricing, size, rate of growth, and use. These data need to be further explored by subject and format. Conveying this information can require many dense tables of data, which most people do not have the desire or time to read and digest. Charts can also be used, but traditional charts are static and do not allow the user to select data to explore in depth.  People are more interested when data are presented in attractive ways that are meaningful to them. Used well, data visualization is a great tool that can make it possible to present complex data in a concise and understandable manner.  Tableau, a web-based data visualization software, can be used to create a small number of charts with high impact that bring together many types of data. Because charts created in Tableau are web-based and interactive, they can be designed to give a single, high-level view of data, while also letting the individual viewer select more granular, detailed views.  This talk will show Tableau charts used by one academic library to successfully argue for budget increases. 

4. Designing Adaptable Tools for In-House User Studies (Alison Bradley, Rachael Winterling)

This session will provide a brief update on the work of the Charlotte Initiative's User Experience research team, comprised of 15 members representing 11 institutions, who are researching the ways libraries and publishers evaluate user experience with eBook collections in academic libraries. During summer 2016, the group is designing user studies and focus groups to conduct in-person assessments of user experience with eBooks in academic library settings. After testing the materials at multiple institutions, the group hopes to openly share replicable materials like task lists and question prompts that will allow individuals at other institutions to develop their own customized studies. The goal of this project is to develop a toolkit that institutions can utilize to conduct assessments of eBook platforms with a multitude of user groups.The session will provide updates on the first round of user tests, and give advice on collaborating across institutions as well as on designing and adapting appropriate criteria for user studies in-house. A complete update on the results of the project will be provided at an open conference in Charlotte in Spring 2017, and the toolkit will be made publicly available at that time as well.
 
5) Adding and Slashing Serials (Zeb Evelhoch)

This presentation will be two-fold and discuss how during a time of stagnating budgets and raising journal costs, Central Washington University Brooks Library evaluated and added popular print magazines and worked with faculty to eliminate redundant and low use journals. The process of identifying the need, researching, evaluating and gaining student input for popular magazines to be added to a recently opened coffee shop will be the first topic covered. Secondly, this presentation will cover how the library identified journal titles received in multiple formats and low use/high cost titles, then worked with faculty to change access models to realize a net savings. Participants can gain insight on how to identify low use and repetitive titles as well as how to gain feedback from students for creating a popular magazine collection and work with faculty on access changes.

Supporting Research Information Management in the Research University: Partnerships, Challenges, and Possibilities
Research universities are increasingly engaging in complex efforts to collect and synthesize information about an institution's research footprint. The collection, updating, and sharing of the campus' bibliographic research outputs is an increasingly important part of this effort, as institutions seek to develop external profiling systems and enable collaborator discovery and to also increasingly internally understand the research strengths and synergies of an institution for planning and assessment. Institutions are adopting a variety of tools to support research information management (RIM), faculty activity reporting (FAR), and researcher collaboration and discovery on campus. In this presentation, we will talk about the complex and enterprise wide institutional environment in which this research information management effort is taking place, including an overview of the multiple stakeholders: libraries, research offices, colleges and departments, provosts, and many others. The University of Illinois and Virginia Tech University will provide in-depth case studies about their own campus efforts, talking specifically about campus partnerships, RIM products, bibliographic data sources and gaps, implementation challenges, and faculty engagement. We will conclude with a discussion about the opportunities for greater interoperability between siloed campus systems that collect bibliographic metadata, and the important and evolving role of the library in this emerging and poorly defined community of practice.

The Big Picture: A Holistic Viewpoint of E-book Acquisitions
This presentation details the complete process map of e-book acquisitions at Loyola Marymount University's William H. Hannon Library. In this presentation, we extend and update the model used by Beisler & Kurt (2012) for current workflow considerations. In particular, we will highlight an expansion of the paths that an e-book can take, discuss the improvement of discoverability through cataloging services and review, and look at quality control techniques such as access and link checking. 

Objective of the session: While most literature focuses on certain aspects of e-book workflow, this presentation attempts to portray a holistic viewpoint of e-book acquisitions. By capturing the complexities of the process and visualizing it from the perspective of the big picture, it serves as a guide when writing more detailed procedures, helps us recognize appropriate staffing to perform a task, and it shows how different people interact with one another as part of the process. 

What attendees can expect to learn: Attendees will engage with a complete workflow procedure for the different paths of e-book acquisitions. By attending this presentation, participants may identify a component of this workflow they could implement at their own institutions to improve user satisfaction with e-books. Through audience participation, we hope to create a wider discussion to learn what others in the room are doing with their own e-book acquisitions workflow.

The Right Stuff at the Right Cost and for the Right Reasons
As libraries look to surface unique special collections, or preserve/replace deteriorating print resources with more durable and functional digital surrogates, it is important to come to grips with the pros and cons of a variety of available strategies for achieving library goals. The default strategy has been to let commercial interests take the lead in developing and managing this content; libraries then deciding to buy or not buy based on perceived local interest.  Increasingly, though, we're seeing experimentation with other models that give the library community greater control over selection decisions, standards for digitization, long-term archiving, and terms for accessibility.  The following business models will be considered with an eye to building a higher degree of support for library and user friendly strategies for building significant digital corpora:


  • Locally funded and maintained digitization with post-hoc aggregation of metadata in initiatives like DPLA

  • Library-led and communally funded initiatives like the Text Creation Partnership

  • Agency partnerships with entities like Reveal Digital that can help prioritize, fund, digitize, and aggregate open-access digital resources.  



These and related business models speak to the aspiration of many libraries to find more sustainable approaches to making archival resources more globally visible, accessible and useful.  Participating panelists will speak to the relative merits and limitations of emerging strategies for curating library special collections.

Understanding the Wider Impact of Scholarly Research with New Metrics
The last six years have seen an enormous explosion both in the availability of new metrics, and in the interest in emergent types of scholarly output. Altmetrics, socio-economic indicators and many other indicators are vying for your attention; funders and policy-makers are increasingly considering how to use metrics in their decision-making.

Are altmetrics are at risk of becoming just another number that faculty shoehorn into their tenure dossiers, selecting the numbers that make them look the best?

Our four speakers will present new ideas and approaches understanding issues of wider impact, which will be followed by a question and answer session.

We'll Do It Live: Building Access to Video Content Based on Freedoms of Use
Film collections in academic libraries, including streaming video and DVDs, serve a variety of user populations and needs. Videos are used by faculty as part of instruction, by student clubs or other groups as part of public programming, and by individuals for personal study or entertainment. These various use situations are addressed by the Copyright Act and license agreements that accompany video purchases. To maximize use of video collections (and by extension, funds expended on video collections), libraries need to fully understand their rights under the law, track video licenses, and build access around freedoms to stream and publicly display videos. The George A. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida undertook a project to identify videos acquired with public performance or streaming licenses and better communicate the existence and meaning of these licenses to users. This project included new workflows for cataloging and acquisitions, training for library faculty and staff on uses of video allowed under the Copyright Act and when a license should be obtained, and development of a front-end search and browsing discovery interface for users to find video content by public performance and streaming rights. Audience members will learn how to acquire, catalog, and build access to video content based on freedoms of use.

The Evolution of Ebook Collection Development: Why DDA & Access-To-Own Are Here to Stay (Sponsored by ProQuest)
Registration Required

Given shifting budgets, a return to the days of using approval plans or a single way to purchase ebooks is not an option. In fact, 70% of librarians recently surveyed report that they rely upon multiple acquisition models in their collection development strategy.

ProQuest is at the forefront of creating and delivering Demand Driven Acquisition (DDA) models to help libraries meet user needs within budget. We invite you to a luncheon to celebrate the launch of Access-To-Own (ATO), a new model built in collaboration with librarians and publishers as a way to apply short-term spend toward ebook ownership.

Featured speaker Tony Davies, of Australia’s Swinburne University of Technology, is a longtime DDA user. “For us it is a way to provide access to a much wider pool of titles than we could if we only looked at major publishers and aggregators,” he says. Tony joins other librarians at this luncheon to talk about the advantages of combining DDA and ATO to provide robust collections full of diverse content.

FOLIO: A New Open Source Library Services Platform (Sponsored by EBSCO)
RSVP Required - Lunch provided at 39 Rue de Jean

Traditionally, the library services platform (LSP) has focused on providing a comprehensive, all-in-one solution for the management of library operations. Yet, at the same time, the traditional LSP has not been able to fulfill all needs. Indeed, as one size does not fit all, libraries increasingly look at adopting tools that provide much desired functionality underserved by the LSP. These tools run the gamut from stand-alone discovery, to integration with learning environments, support for financials, integration of institutional repositories, deployment of self-check systems, and much more.

This presentation will discuss FOLIO, a new library and vendor collaboration that has been developing a new open source library services platform. The presenter will discuss the principles of extensibility, allowing any library or developer to readily develop and deploy applications. And the presenter will look at the ideas behind ‘supported open source’ in which multiple service providers will provide end-to-end services for the open source FOLIO platform.

ATG Special Issue Roundtable: Content for Courses
Building on the articles in the November ATG Special Issue Content for Courses, this roundtable discussion will dive deeper into the special role that libraries play in content supporting curricula in higher education. Today's content needs can range widely from the traditional articles or textbooks to multimedia events and MakerSpaces. While US libraries have traditionally not held textbooks for student use, they have long played a central role in ensuring that subscriptions support teaching and learning, providing extensive e-reserves, and even participating in course-pack creation. From OER to Alternative textbooks, instructors have more options than ever before - and more questions for their librarians. Many types of publishers and vendors are experimenting with new business models to support classroom use of content, from e-textbooks to course materials solutions. If you assist faculty in acquiring or managing content to support teaching and learning, then this is the session for you!

Budgeting in an Academic Library
Are you always seeking to improve budgeting in your academic library? Are you fascinated by the challenge of predicting costs for subscriptions? I went on an "Academic Library Budgeting Roadshow," and had discussions with peers at seven other institutions. In this session, I will present a summary of my findings, then pose the same questions to the group. We'll discuss everything from the budget process and timeline, to allocating funds, to predicting subscription costs, to what you do if you go over or under budget, to flexibility, to deposit accounts, to Zero-Based Budgeting, to the biggest challenges we each face. Let's share our collective wisdom and brainstorm ideas for best practices in a world of tight budgets, new services, merging vendors, unpredictable cost increases, and rapidly changing purchase and delivery models. Additional questions to be discussed at the group's discretion as time allows.

Objective: Sharing budgeting practices with a goal of finding ways to improve our own.

Learning Expectation: Expect to learn more about other libraries' budgeting practices, and gain new perspective on your own.

Creative, Evolving, Relevant - Communicating the Library's Value
Sharing the results of T&F library focus groups, surveys, interviews and other research from 2016, this practical session will look at innovative ways libraries are communicating their value to a range of stakeholders. With concrete, low cost examples the audience can take back to their own institutions, the session introduces a shifted perspective on communicating value that goes beyond simply marketing new book titles or databases.

Hear stories from librarians who are finding ways to keep their libraries relevant by getting creative and leveraging resources they already have. Some of these stories include inviting alumni to library events, providing students with exclusive after-hours library access, involving adjunct faculty in collection management and using library catalogues to track more than just books.

Finding a fresh take on library value propositions begins with viewing the patron as a customer. Customers have choices and the library should always be a top choice for students and faculty alike. Our panel will explore actionable tactics including key elements of email marketing, effective training for new faculty members, hosting successful events and finding the time to get creative with these tips and tricks by using lean practices.

Publishers and libraries have a shared responsibility to connect the right content to the right reader; communicating the value of library services is essential to making that connection. Libraries are not only a collection of vital resources and research support, but the outward looking heart of an institution focused on students, faculty, and their wider goals.

Ebook Deselection and Weeding: A Practical Approach
Ebook acquisitions are ubiquitous, due to the increasing availability of ebook collections, individual purchases, acquisition/purchasing options, providers, platforms, and breadth of subject matter included. Additionally, the concept of permanent library ebook collections is no longer a novelty, which calls into question the quality of previous purchases.

Prompted by the tremendous increase of ebooks in our academic four-year institution library's collection, our ebooks-preferred acquisition policy, the complexities and constraints of ebooks use, and no obvious end in sight to the number of ebooks acquired, we investigated and recommended an ebook deselection policy to deal with these complex issues.

This project was taken on by two librarians, a subject liaison librarian and the electronic resources librarian, to combine their expertise to work on evaluating the collection for deselection. We developed criteria and methodology to identify and deselect ebooks. This weeding effort is an ongoing one. Initially, we decided to evaluate a percentage of the collection and look at the material where accuracy of information and timeliness matter the most. Some of the factors that affected our decisions include, usage, date of publication, currency of content (relative to subject matter), Digital Rights Management (DRM), availability of newer editions, relevancy to the collection, and the acquisition model (subscription, Demand Driven Acquisition (DDA), outright purchase).

This presentation will be a step-by-step guide to the process of starting your adventure in ebook weeding. It is important for libraries to maintain our evolving collections to meet our patrons' needs.

From Rivalry to Cooperation: Building Collaborative EBA
In September 2014, University of Florida, Florida State University, and Cambridge University Press embarked to implement a previously untested collaborative Evidence Based Acquisition model. Now two years later, with significant data to analyze, both the libraries and publisher can report on the program's successes and share lessons learned.  From the collaboration that first arose between UF and FSU to address a common problem to the publisher/library partnership that facilitated building a mutually beneficial program, this is essentially a story of adaptation which speaks to the Charleston Conference's annual theme: "Roll With the Times or the Times Will Roll Over You."  This session will focus on demystifying EBA and exploring the benefits of the Evidence Based Acquisition model for both library and publisher.

Gender and Negotiation: Practices and Strategies
In their groundbreaking work, Women Don't Ask: Negotiation and the Gender Divide, Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever (2003) cite an extensive body of research to establish the circumstances that make negotiation fundamentally more difficult for women than it is for men. [1] According to the authors, a significant factor in this discrepancy is that "before we decide to negotiate for something we must first be dissatisfied with what we have;" unfortunately, women are "satisfied with less." [2] What does this mean for a profession that is 83% female? [3] In this Lively Lunch, participants will be asked to both share positive and negative negotiation experiences and crowdsource successful strategies to ease the challenges of gender and negotiation.

Giving and Taking: How We Each Contribute to the Scholarly and Scientific Journal Ecosystem
The scholarly communication world has been in turmoil recently, as some participants call for radical change, others defend existing practices and systems, and still others push for incremental improvements. One aspect of the current system that makes these discussions difficult is the degree of isolation that often exists between its participants - publishers who understand little about libraries, librarians who have never edited a journal, authors with no idea how much the journals in their field cost, etc. Members of these groups run in different circles, attend different industry meetings, and monitor different listservs. None of us can know everything about all of the ecosystems in which we function; however, in light of the current ferment and disruption we are seeing in scholarly communication, knowing more about all parts of that particular ecosystem might be helpful to everyone involved.

This panel discussion will feature five different participants in the ecosystem of scholarly journal publication: two authors (one from the STEM disciplines and one from HSS), a journal editor, a journal publisher, and an academic librarian. Each will be invited to answer the following three questions:

1. What costs do I incur - in terms of time, energy, money, etc. - when carrying out my work?

2. What value do I bring to our ecosystem with the work that I do?

3. Of the things my fellow panelists do within our ecosystem, which are of the most value to me?

Following the panelists' responses there will be general discussion with the audience.

Habits of Highly Effective Weeding Teams and their Role in the Circular Economy
As renovation and large scale weeding projects are on the rise, academic librarians are faced with planning these projects while navigating restrictive policies on the handling of discarded books. Join representatives from the Love Library at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the University Library at University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, and Better World Books as we outline specific innovative steps to streamline the process, decrease weeding fatigue and remove barriers such as "surplus only" policies to find a reuse option that has a more positive impact on society, the environment, and global literacy.

The session will include a brief overview from both libraries providing clever and unique solutions to challenges with budget cuts and internal process followed by an engaging discussion with the audience.
Session attendees will be offered a weeding planning tool as well as step-by-step instructions on approaches that worked for the libraries.

How in Sync Are We? What Academic and Public Libraries Can Learn From Each Other
Academic Libraries continue to strive to stay relevant to their educational communities composed of students, faculty and researchers while metropolitan or public libraries serve the needs of the general community composed of multi-generational and ethnically diverse scholars, students, professionals, recreational readers and gamers, who seek information in varied formats. The challenges today to respond to this range of service and collection needs is unsurpassed. Libraries have taken on the onus to be instrumental in fostering lifelong learning in a society that changes careers more often, has greater access to information online and more demands on their time and attention than ever before. How do our libraries respond to these changing and intensifying needs and what can we do to collaborate more between the academic and public sectors?

An exchange among four librarians representing both academic and public libraries will showcase how their libraries address these challenges, and offer insights in to programming and collection strengths that maximize what they can offer to their user base. Elevating this conversation are librarians from the Netherlands and the UK who will share how their constituencies require increasingly specialized services and resources that demand the use of diverse technologies, delivery mechanisms and help make the library a relevant and meaningful institution in their communities. Surprisingly, the differences that distinguish academic and public libraries in this digital era may be less significant than we think and the nature of the work and how it is conducted may tend to over-emphasize these differences.

Is Small Beautiful? The Position of Independent Scholarly Publishers in an Environment of Rapid Industry Consolidation
The publishing industry continues to consolidate, with large multinational publishers acquiring journals and other content from academic societies and independent publishers. This panel will provide candid insights into the challenges facing smaller publishers, including how/why they continue to exist in a business environment increasingly dominated by large companies. The discussion will also examine the advantages that smaller, independent publishers enjoy, and address their adaptation strategies, business planning (including open versus paid access models), strategic partnerships, technical infrastructure, production procedures, relationships with libraries, and the work needed to meet the evolving needs of library end users. The impact of industry consolidation on libraries, including that of the intermediaries between publishers and libraries, will also be discussed. The panel includes speakers from humanities, social science, and science publishers who can provide a range of perspectives from across the disciplines.

Audience members will take away a better understanding of the unique role that these presses play in the scholarly communications ecosystem. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and contribute to the group discussion after the panelists have shared their experiences.

Liaison Librarians in the Know: Methods for Discovering Faculty Research and Teaching Needs
At the 2014 Charleston Conference, a panel of faculty members spoke on "What Faculty Want Librarians to Know." This session will continue the conversation begun by the 2014 panel, seeking to highlight ways for librarians to discover what the faculty at their home institutions wish that the library knew about their research and teaching needs. Using a case study of a liaison re-envisioning project at a large, research-intensive public university as the framework for this session, we will discuss methods for determining the curriculum and research needs of faculty across disciplinary boundaries and ways for promoting library resources and services to departments across campus. We will bring the perspectives of a business librarian and a literature/special collections librarian to the discussion to highlight how standardized, library-wide methods can address discipline-specific needs.

The objectives of this session include exploring models and methods for promoting library resources and services to our faculty partners on campus, identifying alternate routes to support faculty needs in the face of lean collections budgets, finding techniques for working around institutionally-specific challenges for gathering data, and communicating these needs to vendors.

After attending this session, participants will be able to articulate methods and processes for gauging faculty needs of the library for research and instruction across different disciplines. The session will conclude with an interactive discussion of how participants could adapt the techniques described for use at their home institutions.

Some of the most amazing innovations have come out of science fiction writing. Doors that open authomatically! Ipads! Wireless phones! These were once seen as crazy, outlandish, pie-in-the-sky ideas, and now they're a reality of our everyday lives. Librarians constantly lament the limitations of money, space, personnel, and time. What if those limitations were to no longer exist? What kind of future could we imagine if we threw off the shackles of circumstance?

Do you have crazy ideas about the future of libraries? Do you want to HEAR about and discuss crazy ideas about the future of libraries? Come to this round table discussion to brainstorm and discuss wild concepts! Who know? Maybe the next BIG idea in librarianship will come out of this session!

Really Open, or Really Shut Away? How Do Researchers Discover that Elusive Open Access Content?
As the sheer volume of Open Access publications increases, one the most significant emergent challenges is discoverability. The OA content that publishers and authors create may well be free and available in theory, but how do readers find it?

Open Access content is everywhere - in institutional repositories, via OAPEN and DOAJ and on publisher's own websites - but researchers have a hard time locating exactly the quality-assured content are looking for, especially when it comes to relevant Gold Open Access content.

In this session, a distinguished panel of experts from across the scholarly publishing landscape will discuss the challenges brought about by the widespread shift to Open Access models, and the ways in which discoverability of appropriate peer-reviewed Open Access content can be addressed.

Reviews of eResources for Libraries: Relevant or Retro?
A lively lunch structured to stimulate the exchange of information and opinions on the value of reviews, their influence on the purchase (or de-accession) of e-resources, trends in selection of e-resources, and new collaborative reviewing efforts. A brief panel presentation will open the luncheon. Different perspectives will be offered:

Librarian perspective (academic and public):
How do librarians use reviews? How do they evaluate, select, and/or cancel e-products? Who is involved in selection process? What kinds of information in reviews are most helpful? Are reviews providing a meaningful means of discovery of databases for librarians, faculty, and other researchers? How is the profession trending in terms of evaluating new products? What is overall toolbox for the selection of e-resources?

Publisher perspective:
How important are reviews to publishers? Do they still carry the same weight in purchasing decisions? How do reviews affect marketing and the development of new products/subjects?

Community/collaborative perspective:
What efforts have been undertaken to create community/consortia-based or crowd-sourced analytic reviews of databases? What are the challenges in creating and sustaining collaborative ventures? How are review sources evolving to meet current needs?

The panel presentation will be followed by an open discussion and exchange of ideas/opinions among all panelists and luncheon attendees, with the goal of attaining a broader understanding of the relevance of electronic resource reviews to various stakeholders and the ways in which traditional review processes are evolving/should evolve to address current library needs and expectations. The panelists will actively seek feedback from luncheon attendees. This is meant to be an interactive discussion.

Rolling the Elephant Out of the Room: A Discussion of Academic Liaisons and Collection Development
For the past two years, we have led very lively lunchtime conversations about a topic on the minds of many academic librarians: the changing role of the liaison librarian in the 21st century, and the approaches taken by our various institutions to address these changes. This year, we'll continue the conversation by focusing on one of the thorniest aspects of this re-visioning: collection development. Participants will be invited to share their perspectives, and group comments will guide the conversation. Framing the discussion will be several questions. As liaison librarians shift their energies to more outward-facing engagement and focus on the development and delivery of new services, what has happened to their traditional roles as architects of collections? How successful are we in molding our collections to the contours of our libraries in light of the ever-changing horizon? How exactly do we define "collections as service" in this new landscape? What kinds of expertise are needed for today's liaison librarian? And what does it mean to be a subject specialist if the actual choice of materials is guided by outside forces? Join us to share perspectives on these and other questions as we continue to work together to explore, assess, and re-imagine the role of the academic liaison.

The Short-Term Loan Roller Coaster: The Impact of Publishers' Increasing Prices on Library DDA Programs, or, It's One Heck of a Ride!
Libraries have explored new acquisitions models in recent years, in particular the use of short-term loans (STLs) and demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) of eBooks. The reasons for embracing these options are diverse: shifting collection development practices, assuring use of purchased materials, coping with lower budgets, offering access to supplementary content, expanding library services, etc. Once a DDA/STL program is in place, it can be a winning situation for libraries and their users; libraries can offer access to larger eBook collections than they could buy outright and pay only when content is actually used. However, skyrocketing STL rates are now coupled with lengthy embargo periods - either for front-list titles or for all titles - and more publishers are walking away altogether.

Two years after their 2014 Charleston Presentation, "Earnestly Attempting to Roll with the Punches: The Impact of Publishers - Short-Term Loan Rate Increases on Library Acquisition Options," librarians from four small consortia will document the impact that changes in STL policies and rates have had on their programs over the past two years, what steps they've taken to control increasing costs, and whether they will tweak or continue their DDA programs over the next year. Join us for an open discussion about this overall situation and how it might play out in the long run.

The Whole Discovery Enchilada: How Close Are We to the Goal?
The 2016 edition of the PCG Library Budget Survey, a popular annual report that includes input from hundreds of libraries worldwide, added several new questions about indexed discovery services, and the replies were surprising:

Responses show that institutional search and discovery tools (which includes services such as Summon, Primo, EDS, etc.) have not yet reached "widespread" usage. While 76% of respondents are aware of institutional discovery tools, only 28% had already purchased such a service. Take-up is highest in the Academic sector (33%). Europe lags substantially behind North America in acquisition of discovery services.

This session will bring together participants from stakeholder communities - discovery service vendor, library, publisher, and standards developer - to discuss where we are in terms of reaching the goal of making all subscribed online content reliably discoverable from the library website. We will cover topics such as:

  • Are publishers providing the right content (i.e. metadata) to the discovery services? If not, what should they be doing?

  • Are the discovery services adding metadata reliably, quickly, and comprehensibly? If not, what should they be doing? 

  • Are librarians sufficiently aware of the consequences of how they configure their discovery service and how it can affect usage of their purchased subscription content?

  • How do discovery services owned by companies selling aggregated databases ensure against bias in their discovery systems? Is it enough? And usage stats from discovery services: who gets those? Who should get those? Are these usage stats configured to a standard so they can be accurately used?

What are Subject Liaisons When 'Collections' and 'Subjects' Don't Matter?
The traditional subject liaison role is evolving. Users increasingly require functional information support (e.g., for GIS or data mining) rather than simply domain-specific. At the same time, reports from the ARL Pilot Library Liaison Institute and others have noted self-conscious trends towards developing liaison roles that engage and support the full research life cycle, as opposed to traditional service models focused on building and promoting library collections as more or less fixed products. This session will outline and collaboratively address the future of these new roles, with participants exploring questions that include: What does it mean to be a "collections" librarian in this new world? What "new" skills do we need to develop? What "old" skills should we not lose? How do we adapt both our institutions (and our individual staff) without sacrificing our (or their) very identities?

Albatross: Rolling on a Sea of Data
In this session we will discuss the creation of a database for the purpose of pulling together journal usage data and cost data in a central environment where the data can be queried to use in return on investment analysis. Our database is named "Albatross" referencing The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, it is both an omen of good or bad luck and represents the challenges and triumphs our team experienced in development.

We will share some of the challenges encountered while designing the database structure and creating a working database from the design. We will then discuss issues related to normalizing the data and our processes for creating effective workflows. We will also discuss the skill sets of the individuals who contributed to the creation process.

In examining the design process, we will share and walk through our final entity relational diagram and the reasoning behind why it is structured as it is. We will also explore our method of automating workflows through scripting in SQL and Python. In addition, we will talk about the normalization of five years of COUNTER and non-standard journal usage data, standardizing titles, packages, publishers, and platforms.

Finally, we will discuss our plans for assessment, analysis, and visualization of data retrieved from our database. This will be a look at future plans for using LibInsight to publish and create access to this data while allowing the curated data to be further paired with other data for more in depth analysis.

Assessing Power Relations in the Global Internet: Reading The Intersectional Internet, by S.U. Noble and B.M. Tynes, eds
This book turns a critical lens on the impact of the global Internet, by challenging its capacity to not simply reflect, but define and structure uneven power relations and social values through rapidly evolving  digital technologies, platforms and infrastructures. The fourteen essays in the book, written by leading scholars from various fields of cultural studies allied to information sciences/Library/media studies and the social sciences, adopt an analytical approach and theoretical perspectives, linked to the multi-faceted concept of "intersectionality." This allows the authors to critically investigate the complexities of the multiple differences in the controlling ideologies, identities and outcomes embedded in their own fields of research. 

This presentation will invite librarians and other information specialists to explicitly identify, contextualize and critically assess the impact of these new lines of inquiry on their multi-dimensional work experiences: Internet studies, computer code, resource selection, reference interaction, bibliographic instruction and other research needs of users in an increasingly diverse environment.

E-books and Young Academic Users: What Do We Know?
Academic libraries in the U.S. have witnessed the impressive growth of acquiring e-books. While publishers, vendors, and librarians are still developing and exploring various models of e-book production, service, and acquisition, we approach issues surrounding e-book adoption, usage, and right restrictions by investigating their end users. In this session, we will report findings from a research project that studies undergraduate students' interests, attitudes, and expectations toward e-books accessible via an academic library website. This research includes a questionnaire survey with both closed and open-ended questions, which was administered to 279 undergraduate students (mostly freshmen and sophomore) in a large university in the South.

Attendees of the session can expect to learn about a range of user-related issues. For example, what functions and features of e-books do students consider most important? What are less important? What DRM restrictions are acceptable or unacceptable to these young college students? What are their experiences of and expectations for using e-books licensed by academic libraries? These issues are interesting to multiple audiences: academic librarians can understand their users better and learn new ways of educating users and promoting the usage of e-books; and publishers and vendors can gain a better knowledge of their end users, which may help them design, develop, and produce information products that are more appropriate for young academic users.

This session is co-authored by Kanchan Deosthali, Assistant Professor, College of Business, University of Mary Washington, and Devendra Potnis, Associate Professor, School of Information Sciences, University of Tennessee - Knoxville, and Rebecca McCusker, SIS Master's Studennt, University of Tennessee, who were unable to attend the conference.

Finding the Right Fit for Article Delivery: Using Resource Sharing Technology to Provide Enhanced Access Options
Libraries are struggling to maintain subscriptions to research materials, and must explore a variety of access options. There are few attractive options for libraries who want to provide access to research materials to users in a way that is cost effective and simple for users. Libraries are caught between subscriptions to large packages of content or article-level purchasing that is either not instant or must allow unmediated access. In the past, Resource Sharing and Interlibrary Loan has helped users gain access to research material far beyond what their libraries could afford as a single institution. Going forward, resource sharing can offer a variety of options for libraries to provide users access to research material in a way that is convenient yet cost effective. Using IDS Logic, a resource sharing software platform designed by SUNY Libraries that integrates with vendor web services, more options for access to research materials are available. IDS Logic automates verification of copyright limitations, determines the best price for purchase from article vendors, and creates user profiles and system configuration that will allow more refined and automated purchasing or borrowing of research articles and other content. IDS Logic connects with web services from OCLC, Reprints Desk, Copyright Clearance Center, Pubmed, and others to automate delivery decisions, and provide virtually instant access to needed articles. This creates another method for libraries to meet the research needs of its users and helps to ensure that the research is delivered in the most seamless and cost effective manner.

Getting Selector Buy-in Before the Wrecking Ball Comes
When a new classroom building was approved in late 2014 that would conjoin and extend into Auburn University's Draughon Library, 38,000 square feet of space had to be cleared in a very short time. 400,000 volumes needed to be withdrawn or moved to off-site storage, a move complicated by loss of space in closed stacks due to the installation of a new fire suppression system, promises of a remote storage facility which had yet to be built, no concrete deadlines, and the need to identify and retain materials included in consortial retention agreements.

Space clearing began with a project to remove unneeded duplicate copies which in turn uncovered a multitude of catalog and shelving problems and then evolved into several more projects. All these projects required an extensive time commitment from selectors primarily for input and decision-making skills on titles to be withdrawn or moved to off-site storage. Shifting thousands of books and journals also required manual labor from students, librarians, and staff. None of this would have been possible without buy-in from all library personnel. This presentation details the variety of methods used by Auburn's Collection Team to foster buy-in and keep the project moving toward completion.

Implications of BIBFRAME and Linked Data for Libraries & Publishers

While Linked Data is growing in interest in the library and publishing communities, its evolution and adoption is widespread in many industries. Academic libraries and vendors alike have numerous data silos, incapable of communicating effectively with other repositories and/or the broader web. The library community is rife with outdated business models, in part due to data formats and limitations. New ecosystems and integrations will be borne out of transforming these data silos into the broader and more accessible web of data.

BIBFRAME is the planned replacement for MARC, and while the framework is being evolved in working groups such as LD4P and LC, organizations are already beginning to experiment and deploy new business models around it.  Casalini Libri will share their foray into delivering BIBFRAME resources in addition to MARC records for customers. The transformation has begun.

 The Library.Link Network brings together libraries and their providers to inform the Web of their detailed, vetted and authoritative data about art, music, books/ebooks, special collections and more. MARC records are transformed into BIBFRAME resources, assets linked, and then published in a variety of vocabularies to the web for search engines and other applications to consume.  Users finding library resources on the web or other applications can be driven to the institution’s discovery layer for authentication and fulfillment. 

Due to the highly structured data in the library and publisher worlds, these organizations are well positioned to leverage existing data into the BIBFRAME and/or Linked Data realm.

Lifting All Boats: Fostering a Community of Practice for Student Publishers
Undergraduate and graduate students are increasingly being encouraged to work with faculty and researchers to generate traditional scholarship as well as other types of projects that feature original content. Through this process, students are more frequently taking on roles as researchers, authors, and publishers. Student scholarship and student-run publications are valuable to the scholarly record, representing the nascent activities of the next generation of scholars, but also serving as an academic playground for emergent forms of publishing and media. Furthermore, students who manage publications gain practical skills that transfer to a variety of careers in academia and private industry. However, student publications are often struggling and somewhat invisible. They face many of the same sustainability problems affecting the broader publishing industry and unique problems inherent in student publications. These groups frequently need (and often seek) a combination of professional mentorship and a forum for peer group interactions to advance their publishing goals.

At our respective institutions, we continue to be delighted and impressed by the variety and quality of student-generated media, ranging from traditional scholarly journals, to web-based peer-reviewed journals, newspapers, literary, cultural, and political magazines, and more. Libraries, library publishers, and university presses have the expertise and resources needed to help build a community of practice for student publications. Attendees will learn about models for student engagement and library-press collaboration as a librarian, two publishers, and a student editor share their recent experiences and future aspirations in working together to support the vibrant and diverse publications on their campuses.

Mapping the Free Ebook Supply Chain
Although still a small part of overall output, the number of open access (OA) books from scholarly publishers is growing rapidly. Traditional publishers are adding OA options (e.g., Luminos from University of California Press), libraries and funders are collaborating to make existing books OA (e.g., Knowledge Unlatched, NEH/Mellon Humanities Open Book Program), and high quality dedicated OA publishers are emerging (e.g., Lever Press, Open Book Publishers, Ubiquity Press). While many of these works are digital facsimiles of print, an increasing number are multimodal publications with extended functionality. Public availability of scholarly information promotes equity and inclusion and advances some key shared objectives of librarians. However, these titles also present challenges to an information supply chain that relies on commercial intermediaries: There is little incentive for jobbers, aggregators, or booksellers to promote books which have no price; it can be difficult for a library to defend spending collections money on publications that will end up freely available to the world; and new digital scholarship formats can be challenging to deliver to patrons and preserve. In this session, join a publisher, an aggregator of open content, and an expert in information retrieval in a journey past the many obstacles between production of an OA book, its discovery and use by a reader, and its long-term preservation. As well as learning about the issues in this emerging space, participants will be invited to suggest practical ways of overcoming barriers to universal and open access to knowledge.

Preservation of Digital Collections and Dark Archives
Long-term preservation of digital collections is a clear charter for libraries, but the path forward is often murky and daunting. Solutions vary due to collection composition, collection file structure, the technical expertise of the teams involved, and budget. Further, there are issues of stewardship, ownership and release of data in a usable form from dark archives. CLOCKSS, Portico and the Digital Preservation Network will come together at Charleston in a panel presentation to share insights into what it takes for libraries to tackle the issue of long-term preservation. We will discuss case studies and solutions that you can put to work. Come join us as we explore the dark side.

Quantifying the Impacts of Investment in Humanities Archives
Demonstrating the value of humanities research databases and special collections for researchers on teaching and research outcomes is a known challenge for libraries globally. There is an increasing need for libraries to understand and communicate the research and teaching value of investment in content, as well as the impacts the content can be shown to have on the quality and quantity of research outcomes.

This talk will share the methods, results and implications for libraries and humanities funding bodies of a joint research project recently commissioned by Jisc, the UK higher education, further education and skills sectors' not-for-profit organisation for digital services and solutions, and ProQuest. The presentation will share usage and citation data across a range of disciplines from long term investments in Early English Books Online (EEBO), the House of Commons Parliamentary Papers, and The New York Times.

Conference participants will also be provided with concrete advice on how to undertake similar studies into their own digital resources.

The Oxford Internet Institute (OII) carried out the work using the methodologies OII developed for the Jisc-funded Toolkit for the Impact of Digitised Scholarly Resources (TIDSR). Quantitative methods of analytics, bibliometrics, and an in-depth survey of researchers were used to build a detailed picture of the use and profile of these resources. This research was complemented by qualitative data gathered through focus groups and individual interviews.

Research in the Real World: Accessibility, Nurturing Usage, and Turning Theory into Practice
Academic research—in every field from business and management to medicine and even librarianship—frequently discovers crucial ways to improve efficacy and efficiency. But that only helps if those findings get applied in practice. The research agenda today is increasingly driven by theory at the expense of practical relevance, while employers need the students they recruit to possess a greater blend of skills. The result instead is content published in a form that fails to resonate with practitioners, students, policy makers, and the wider public who want to understand the ROI of the research investment.

In this session, find out how best to get your existing collections used, not just for study, but to inform the real-world decisions of current and former students; how to acquire and market the right resources to get new actionable research into the hands of those who need it; and how to help your faculty get their scholarly publications noticed by the practitioners, consultants, and other influencers who can ensure their discoveries are widely used and understood.

Combining the perspectives of a global publisher leading the way in practitioner-generated content, a university librarian on the front lines of scholarly communication and discovery, and a business school academic with experience in the field, we will create a foundation for extending the reach and impact of novel, new and ground-breaking research into practical application in the real world.

Seeing that Students Succeed: Rising Expectations and the Library's Role in Teaching and Learning
"Interest in supporting students and their competencies and learning outcomes shows signs of surging." This was one of the most significant findings of Ithaka S+R's latest US Faculty Survey. Other research has found that library directors agree almost unanimously about the importance of their library supporting teaching and learning. In recent years, expectations have increased not only for the library to demonstrate its impact on students but for universities to increase retention, progression, graduation, and later-life outcomes. Ebsco's User Research Group has studied student research practices and the challenges they face, as well as the kinds of librarian-faculty partnerships that are effective in supporting students. This session will share research findings principally from the US, but also from the UK and China, to address the strategic engagements that libraries can make today to contribute directly to student success.

Shotgun Session: Collection Development - Demand Driven Acquisition and E-Book Threads
These short “pecha kucha-like” sessions will feature 5 PowerPoint presentations of 6 minutes and 40 seconds each. We will have time at the end of the session intended for Q&A for all presenters. Come for a lively, rapid-fire group of talks.

1. We used DDA to help build a new engineering collection; you won't believe what happened next 
(Aaron Lupton)

Engineering students want up to date, highly technical information delivered to their devices immediately, so a highly specialized eBook collection is vital for any engineering library. But, engineering eBooks are expensive so "just in case" collection building is not an ideal solution, particularly when building a brand new collection. The introduction of new engineering programs at York University meant new challenges and opportunities for the Libraries, namely building a new collection for these new programs. We started with general eBook packages as well as engineering publisher packages then turned to Demand Driven Acquisition (DDA), Short-Term Loan,  and Evidence Based Selection to fill in the gaps in our current licensed eBook collections. Our goal was to build a quality engineering collection while avoiding the purchase of large numbers of "just in case" print or eBook titles. 

This session will describe how York executed its new Engineering DDA, STL, and Evidence Based Selection programs; how successful these tools were in building a quality collection, as well as the Return on Investment (ROI) of the eBooks selected. The presenters will offer recommendations on how these tools are most effectively integrated with other collection building tools. Just as important, this session will include a discussion on the role of DDA in the traditional collection building process, taking into account that not all eBooks are available via this method, and how DDA can be used to augment a librarian's deeper integration into the engineering curriculum. 
 
2. Rolling with PDA & DDA: How Academic Libraries can use Patron Driven and Demand Driven Acquisition Techniques to Build Library Collections with a Minimal Management & Budget (Kerry Falloon) 

Patron Driven and Demand Driven Acquisitions has been utilized for some time in academic libraries but some university libraries are still new to the process. With changes in the last couple of years regarding short-term monograph loans becoming cost-ineffective, the popularity of streaming video PDA, and library budgets increasingly being cut, the conundrum of successfully implementing a PDA program and how to evaluate its effectiveness, is a question many still library's face. In the Fall of 2015, the College of Staten Island Library-CUNY, implemented a small DDA monograph pilot program with YBP/ EBSCO e-books to build its collections in academic areas new to the college. The goal was to offer patrons immediate "on demand" selections in areas that might need additional collection building in depth and breath, but this will take some to accomplish by collection development librarians. The results of this DDA pilot project, as well as the implementation by the Fall of 2016, of a PDA streaming video program with Kanopy, will be discussed. Both pilot projects were completed with a total budget of $5,000 committed to each. With budget cuts of over a hundred thousand in the year proceeding the implementation of these projects, this poster will discuss "small budget and manageable" PDA and DDA programs, which was in direct contrast to a larger scale CUNY DDA project, which the College of Staten Island (CSI) benefitted from in 2014. The shortfalls of the PDA/ DDA pilot projects, lessons learned, and future prospects at CSI’s library considered will also be discussed.              

3. What's On Demand?: Analyzing Demand-Driven Acquisition of eBooks (Paolo Gujilde, Jessica Minihan)

What happens to DDA ebooks after their initial use? Will they be used again? Does it represent the library collection? The landscape of acquisition models in which libraries negotiate are changing with the times to accommodate the reality of budgetary concerns and providing a traditionally balanced library collection. Academic libraries like ours, Zach S. Henderson Library (Georgia Southern University), which employs demand-driven acquisition must find an equilibrium between needs and wants. The "needs" of funding and the "wants" of having it all just in case. Henderson Library implemented subject-specific DDA electronic books program in 2011 to support online education programs and to supplement the traditional automatic approval plan. Then, in 2015, the Library fully expanded the DDA program to all subject areas as well as print format. These changes marked the move from the traditional automatic approval plan to DDA plan. 

In this presentation, we will trace the Library's DDA ebook usage statistics and generate trends that reveal effectiveness, or lack thereof, of the DDA program specifically as it pertains to electronic books. Attendees of this session will leave with better understanding of issues of collection development and acquisitions as it relates to DDA.  

4. Post-Acquisition Management and the Issue of Inaccessibility (Beth Caruso) 

Though advocates are calling for publishers to develop born-accessible eBooks to comply with ADA and DAISY standards and the EPUB 3.0 measures now backed by the Society for Disability Studies, the realistic timespan for this achievement to become standard practice is far from ideal. To equitably serve users who are differently able, stronger technology and a mindset toward accessibility must become the standard in electronic collections. Librarians are expected to have a strong working knowledge of the library's collections but receive little training in best practices for assisting patrons who are differently able. We cannot wait for the eBook landscape to change on its own, as responses to inaccessibility have largely been that the technology simply was not applied to the desired text. In the meantime, we must recognize  how to develop usable collections for all and how to respond to those whose access has been limited.This research is the product of both current research and earlier findings of the User Experience Research Team from the Mellon-funded Charlotte Initiative project. Though a quick overview of the team's findings thus far will be provided, this session will focus on the accessible eBook landscape and provide librarians with tools to better assist users working independently in discovery systems as they interact with the library's current acquisitions. Additionally, librarians will acquire techniques for responding to users who cannot use the texts they wish and understand how such a mindset can help us develop stronger collections of use to all. 

5.  Open Access, open access, how does your catalog grow? With selection, access, and usage all in a virtual row (David Schuster, Susan Martin)

Much of the Open Access focus and discussion has been on journals (think Glossa). But, the open access monograph has come fully into its own. University and scholarly publishers are providing high quality books, often in areas that rely on long-form scholarship. However, open access monographs present a challenge to libraries of all sizes. How do they fit into the traditional models of selection, acquisition, cataloging, and tracking usage?  

This session will present the open access monograph workflow from selection to usage assessment used at the Texas Woman's University Libraries.  Attendees will learn how a small university library implemented and normalized the workflow for the selection, processing, and usage assessment of open access monographs.

The Odd Couple: University Libraries and Book Stores Team Up to Reduce Textbook Costs for Students
Since 2012, The University of Arizona (UA) Libraries have partnered with the UA BookStores to identify and make available eBook versions of required course materials, accessible through the campus course management system and the BookStores' website. These eBooks have multi- or unlimited use licenses and are available at no cost to students. In advance of each semester, these two stakeholder groups work in partnership to acquire, make discoverable, and promote this service to faculty and students in a variety of ways.

With the maturity of our partnership and of this service to faculty and students, the UA Libraries are investigating our current environment and working with the UA BookStores to develop a new model that will improve our workflows, processes, and service to our end users, most notably by inserting the Libraries at an earlier stage in the textbook adoption process.

This presentation will focus on both our current process and how we got to this point as well as on our future strategic plans for developing and implementing a new model in collaboration with campus stakeholders.

Our presentation will be useful to both libraries who are thinking of developing a programmatic and collaborative approach to delivering required course materials on their campuses as well as for those who already have a service in place and are looking for fresh ideas and a forum to discuss next steps. We'll present on both external considerations and internal library acquisition processes so that our audience has a full picture of workflows and collaborations.

Worth a Thousand Words: Using Visualizations to Examine Collections Usage
This presentation will explore how the University of Wisconsin-Madison is using tools like Tableau to facilitate the manipulation of large data sets and to develop visualizations that assist in the description and analysis of collections. In this presentation we will discuss how UW has used visualizations to easily tell the story of collections usage to library and campus audiences and how UW is developing tools to assist librarians with collection management decisions. We will trace our process beginning with the assumptions library staff and campus stakeholders make about the use of collections through the formulation of concrete questions, identifying and mapping data points for answering those questions and the subsequent exploration of data sets. The presentation will describe our iterative process for developing and refining visualizations and provide an overview of data processing techniques and tools used. We will also discuss the reaction we have received from inside and outside the library as we shared the presentation of library data.

Assessing the Books We Didn't Buy (The Sequel)
Three universities (Santa Clara University, the University of San Francisco, Loyola Marymount University) are leveraging patron-initiated borrowing data to inform collection development. Expanding on a pilot project, we have been looking at five years of borrowing data, along with five years of spending data and five years of circulation data of local collections, to help us define what a "normal" level of borrowing looks like as well as identify gaps in local collections. We are also using the data to strengthen the meta-collection of our consortium (LINK+) through the intentional and coordinated diversification of approval plan profiles. We will discuss both methodology and findings to date: how this data is being gathered, analyzed, and then used on our campuses to inform collection development decisions.

Best Practices for Building Data Collections
Is your library asked to buy data? The conversation around Research Data Management largely focuses on preserving researchers' data output, but libraries also have an important role to play earlier in the data life cycle to help researchers discover and acquire data of all kinds. Many data sets are available for purchase and the library provides a service to the organization by purchasing and making data available to support research.

In this presentation an E-acquisitions Librarian, a Data Librarian and a Social Sciences Subject Librarian will offer best practices for developing data collections in libraries, considering questions of scope, use, hosting, access, and licensing. Time and money are limited, making it important to make data collection development decisions wisely. There are different types of data that libraries can buy, including geospatial, numeric, qualitative, and social media, to name a few. Each type requires thought and planning to make available to researchers. Licensing commercially available data sets can be particularly challenging and we will share what we have learned over the years as we built our data collections and initiated a patron demand driven data program. We will also discuss the ongoing debate over who should build data collections: the subject specialist or data librarian?

Developing eBook Purchasing Guidelines
In 2014, Cooperating Libraries in Consortium (CLIC), a consortium of seven libraries in the Twin Cities, tasked its Collection Development Committee with starting concerted efforts to cooperatively acquire ebooks for the consortium. To that end, the group developed a philosophy and a set of purchasing and renewal review guidelines that have so far proven very helpful to fairly and fully evaluate possible purchases and make efficient purchasing decisions. The group conducted considerable research on other consortium models, as well as the myriad purchase model options available from various vendors.

Our proposed presentation would detail our efforts so that other libraries can learn from our research as well as consider using our selection and evaluation model for their own library or consortium. While we would speak to the consortium-specific aspects of ebook acquisition, we would also talk at some length about factors that are relevant for both consortia and individual libraries. Outcomes of this project included detailed checklists for acquiring new ebook packages and evaluating existing ones, which we would describe and make available to other libraries.

The four presenters would cover the goals of our project, as charged from our consortium board, challenges we faced adapting our processes from the print to the electronic realm, the many vendor models that we evaluated, and the criteria we developed to make purchasing decisions. We will also cover how we aligned our consortium members in order to purchase ebooks cooperatively, and offer advice to others on how to handle this process with colleagues at their library or consortium.

Extreme Makeover: How We Decreased our Collection by 40% and Increased it by 50% in 10 Months
How We Decreased our Collection by 40% and Simultaneously Increased it by 50% in 10 Months!
(What?! How is that possible?!)

The Brennan Library at Lasell College had not conducted a systematic weeding in over 20 years. With space in demand, and the increase in online courses, desperate times called for drastic measures. Over a 10-month period the Library withdrew 40% of it's tangible collections. Simultaneously, the staff's focus shifted to promoting e-resources, and adopting the EBSCO EDS discovery layer. Using a weighted collection development allocation formula, the Librarians overhauled the materials budget and designed a departmental liaison program. Factoring in new e-book and streaming video collections, the Library's collection increased by 50% in spite of the massive withdrawals. This session aims to tell an encouraging story of a small academic library with limited funds and staffing that made extreme changes and saved itself from negative perceptions and imposing threats. Attendees will learn about practical ways to crunch numbers and visualize data in order to impress stakeholders. The Brennan Library added seating, zoned areas, and in-demand e-resources for a growing distance-learner population. By changing the collection development policy from "just in case" to "just in time," the Library now provides access to more items than ever before in the college's history. The endeavor involved creative thinking, and attendees may seek advice on how to strategize and make major changes in their own organizations. An access over ownership model gives small libraries the best bang for the buck and a recipe for success, provided that significant changes are communicated in a positive, exciting manner, and the Brennan Library's "makeover" proves it.

Improving Student Success: Arkansas State's Partnership with Credo and Regional High Schools
Are new students coming to your university ready to succeed or are they being overwhelmed by the college experience? Do faculty complain that they spend more time, with increasing frustration, providing basic research instruction to new students? Is your institution being challenged to increase 1st and 2nd year retention rates? In this "Out of the Box" session, two librarians from Arkansas State University (A-State) and Credo's Chief Content Officer will discuss their innovative collaboration in which A-State and Credo are working together to bring information literacy resources and instruction to local high schools in support of college readiness.

This session will cover a number of issues, including how the library engaged and garnered administration support, the challenge in establishing meaningful partnerships with local high schools, and developing and tracking the right metrics to validate progress. Topics of discussion will include ways in which the library can do more to enhance its strategic importance relative to administration goals; an overview of the established goals and how success will be tracked in areas including college preparedness, retention, graduation rates, GPA, and recruiting; and why this matters to the A-State Library. Participants of the session who have in place, or are trying to develop, similar programs will be encouraged to share their experiences and everyone is welcomed to provide feedback on the established goals.
Participants will gain new ideas on how to deepen faculty, administration, and community engagement while preparing students for college success, even before they arrive on a college campus.

Making Visible Changing Scholarship in the Humanities
Scholars in the digital humanities produce work that breaks the constraints of the printed page--the monograph's traditional form--and University Presses and University Libraries are adapting their practices to meet the changing publication needs of these scholars and their research. Encouraged by the Mellon Foundation, in particular, Presses and Libraries are experimenting with various ways to meet the needs of these scholars. Anthony Watkinson, Honorary Lecturer in the Department of Information Studies at University College London will set the scene. Rebecca Welzenbach, Director of Strategic Integration and Partnerships at Michigan Publishing, will describe efforts underway at Michigan Publishing to ensure that new forms of digital scholarship are discoverable, durable, and recognizable as high-quality scholarship alongside more traditional products, focusing on initiatives including Lever Press, the Mellon-funded Fulcrum publishing platform, and the Mellon-funded Mapping the Free eBook Supply Chain research project. Susan Doerr, Assistant Director and Digital Publishing and Operations Director at the University of Minnesota Press, will turn our perspective inside a university press with a discussion of Minnesota's efforts, in collaboration with CUNY's Graduate Center Digital Scholarship Lab, to makes visible the process of a book's creation though Manifold, a Mellon-funded iterative publishing platform that seeks to transform monographs from static print forms into web-based dynamic digital publications. Our intention is to reach out to publishers and librarians in the context of considerable international interest, for example in UNESCO, in recognising the validity of non-traditional scholarly outputs. It is an area where these speakers and their institutions are at the cutting edge.

Project Management Office to the Rescue: Aligning Workforce and Resources with Library Vision and Delivering Results
Many libraries today are inundated with increasing number of tasks, projects, and initiatives through which they hope to achieve their mission and strategic vision only to find themselves losing focus and drowning in the volume of work. Hesburgh Libraries at the University of Notre Dame struggled with absorbing an exponentially growing number of projects and aligning them with institutional strategic initiatives and goals. The increasing number of projects and the relatively stable size of the workforce significantly impacted the institution's ability to complete projects in a timely fashion and within the budgetary allocation.

In October 2015, the Project Management Office (PMO) was formed. Four dedicated employees were reassigned from their previous responsibilities to manage PMO portfolios and help the Libraries lead and complete projects, as well as assist with prioritization of continuously incoming project requests. PMO's objectives include coordination of projects in the areas of IT, Technical Services and fostering of selected library strategic initiatives. Since PMO's formation, the Libraries have seen meaningful transformation in stewardship of resources and increase in accountability for delivering results.

This presentation will describe the idea behind PMO formation; our internal process for vetting and prioritizing project requests; approaches and tools we use to organize, manage, and document approved projects; and our goals for the future as PMO continues to mature and develop.

Rolling On or Getting Rolled Over? Introducing New Functional Specializations in Academic Libraries
In 2000, Wilder identified the most significant shift in the hiring practices of Association of Research Libraries (ARL) as "the growth of the job category 'functional specialist' (p. 4), defined by ARL as 'media specialists or...experts in management fields such as personnel, fiscal matters, systems, preservation, etc." (ibid.) This trend continues today. According to Sierra's (2012) review of jobs posted by ARL member libraries in 2011, two thirds of functional specialist positions were newly created or redefined.

Functional specialist librarians confront unique challenges. These positions are often "one-person shops" in which the function in question is performed by a very small staff, limiting in-house training and mentoring opportunities. Furthermore, the work of individual functional specialist positions differs significantly from specialization to specialization. While a newly-minted Cataloging Librarian would likely have the opportunity to be trained and guided by another professional librarian in their home library, a Digital Humanities specialist's work and training, for example, differs significantly from that of an Assessment Librarian. How, then, do individual functional specializations develop as sub-professions of academic librarianship?
This presentation will discuss and compare findings from large-scale surveys of librarians in two areas of specialization: Electronic Resources Management and Assessment. Attendees will learn about similarities and differences in the practices and concerns of librarians in the two groups, and how members of each group acquired the skills and knowledge required of their specializations. Attendees will be asked to share their own experiences as functional specialists to inform each other and future research efforts.

Rolling Out the Shared Print Collection: Technology, Policy, Logistics, History
Shared collections promise access to more diverse and comprehensive holdings at a more sustainable cost as well as better documentation and preservation support for the volumes in the collection. Achieving the goals of shared collections requires new approaches to the discovery, storage, bibliographic documentation, and delivery of library materials. Panelists are key voices in projects that seek to realize the potential for a more nationally unified structure for collections and the resource-sharing, preservation, and digitization services related to them. They will describe:



  • new technologies and operations management strategies that enable libraries to transform their user services and reduce the costs of collection management;

  • recent studies on the potential costs of establishing a national repository system for print materials;

  • the roles and requirements of service and archival monograph collections; and

  • how the experience of the Center for Research Libraries and the Print Archive Network (PAN) can guide the development of a nationally integrated collection.



This session brings together an impressive range of experience—from major research libraries (ReCAP) and regional partnerships (WEST), to the nation-wide HathiTrust print monograph program and the collectively built and maintained collections led by the Center for Research Libraries, to global operations and innovative business practices (Iron Mountain). Informed by the work of OCLC Research and 10 years of Print Archive Network forums, these projects seek to radically transform our collective ability to provide access to truly comprehensive research collections.

Shotgun Session: End Users/Use Statistics and Technology/Trends Threads

These short “pecha kucha-like” sessions will feature 5 PowerPoint presentations of 6 minutes and 40 seconds each. We will have time at the end of the session intended for Q&A for all presenters. Come for a lively, rapid-fire group of talks. 

1. Usage Analysis of Print Serials: Are They Worth the Investment? (Rob Kairis)

Although part of a larger 8-campus university library system and a member of OhioLINK, a large consortium of academic libraries in Ohio, the Stark Campus Library of Kent State University maintains a modest collection of print serial subscriptions. The library has analyzed usage of both current and bound issues for many years. Cost per use analysis for each subscription suggests the overall collection is not worth the investment. The presentation will include a description of how usage of the collection is collected and measured. Participants are encouraged to share their experiences as more and more content becomes available electronically. Staffing issues (the library's Serials Librarian retired last year and was not replaced) along with political challenges will also be introduced; The Stark Campus contracts for library services with a collocated community college and manages its print serials collection. Due to the need for more classroom space on campus, print serials have been impacted more than any other library collection, making the storage of print serials an on-going problem. Alternate methods to maintaining a print serials collection, such as an online-only collection or sole reliance on on-demand document delivery, will be discussed. Based on conclusions drawn from this analysis, a comprehensive new model for continuing to subscribe to print serials will be introduced. 

2. Faculty Are Doin' It for Themselves: Librarians Show Them How (CJ Ivory)

The battle over textbook affordability continues to be waged on college campuses across the nation and in state legislatures.  Florida has even passed legislation requiring colleges and universities to reduce the costs of textbooks. University of Central Florida College of Business preemptively introduced the new Integrated Business program. This new program has nine core classes that uses a flipped classroom approach. One of the mandates of the program is to develop a curriculum with minimal additional costs to the students. The solution was to design courses without using traditional textbooks as the basis for the curriculum. I saw this as an opportunity to market library resources and promote our new role as course content curators. I worked with faculty to integrate library resources as they developed new courses. After two semesters of instruction, I surveyed the faculty to learn how satisfied they were with the available resources and how I can improve my services as content curator for their courses. During this presentation, I will share the results of the survey and provide tips on how to help faculty build courses that are rigorous as well as affordable using library resources. I will also discuss how this new role has affected my choices as a subject selector.  

3. The 5 C's Related to Rolling Out an Effective Scientific Authoring & Publishing Platform: Collaboration, Creativity, Customization, Centralization, & Compliance (Shelly Miller)

Today’s global collaborative scientific research developments offer libraries the opportunity to create a scientific authoring and publishing platform that reflects the nature and needs of the campus community. To effectively support authorship best practices and facilitate knowledge sharing, this presentation aims to inspire collaboration and offer insight regarding the challenges and opportunities encountered by libraries as they work to roll out new technologies and solutions that support, accelerate and improve the quality of research publications while minimizing the management footprint.

The Caltech Library has responded to such challenges and opportunities with an ‘Author Carpentry’ initiative that provides customized, centralized access to authoring tools and services, high quality training and user support for their researchers, students, faculty and staff. Overleaf has collaborated with The Caltech Library to develop a customized LaTeX scientific authoring portal that supports the entire campus community and is an essential component of the Caltech Author Carpentry program. This presentation will highlight the main components of an effective roll-out and current use of the innovative Overleaf-Caltech scientific authoring portal, including: easy sign-up, teaching tools, enhanced thesis templates with Caltech-approved information, featured journal templates and real-time administrative dashboard for the library to monitor data and analytics.

4. Scholars Trust Cooperative Journal Retention Update (Lars Meyer)

The Association of Southeastern Research Libraries (ASERL) launched its shared print journal program in 2010 with 15 libraries participating.  In January 2013, the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) signed an agreement to combine their print journal archives with ASERL under a single retention and access agreement called "Scholars Trust." The Florida Academic Repository (FLARE), a statewide shared collection, is also now participating in the program.  A total of 38 libraries are contributing content to Scholars Trust for a combined collection of circa 20,000 unique ISSNs representing over 300,000 volumes.  The participating libraries and consortia are collaborating to maintain legacy print collections into the future, allowing for the possibility of deduplicating local collections.  I will provide an overview of governance and participation; benefits to libraries, including a priority reciprocal ILL program; libraries' use of the Journal Retention and Needs Listing (JRNL) database and Local Holdings Records to share information, especially for identifying gaps; and how Scholars Trust relates to similar print preservation efforts in North America, such as the CIC Shared Print Repository and the Western Regional Storage Trust.  I will conclude with some thoughts about why libraries should consider participating in consortial print preservation efforts.

Stay Calm and Cover Your ASSessment: Creating a Culture of Assessment on a Shoestring
One of the academic initiatives of our time is student success; therefore, a library mission that contributes to the academic success of students is a necessity. While academic libraries routinely engage in assessment for a variety of reasons such as improving processes, responding to customer needs, and reporting accreditation requirements, many academic libraries are being required to prove the value of the library to the institution by contributing to the academic success of its students.
Assessment is no longer a choice for libraries, it has become an expectation. Although most libraries are already doing some assessment, there is little effort to build a culture of assessment where staff understand and fully engage in the process. In many organizations, assessment is often initiated and driven by library administration. Despite good intentions, many initiatives ultimately fail due to lack of staff buy-in.
How can assessment become a library-wide initiative in which everyone participates with shared, common goals? What strategies can be used to promote a culture of assessment?
By the end of this session attendees will be able to formulate ideas of how to develop a library-wide culture of assessment and create a toolkit that supports the development of essential skill sets required to support this initiative. Poll Everywhere, Q & A, and discussion will engage attendees.

Technological, Organizational, and Cultural Transformation of Technical Services and Collection Development
West Virginia University Libraries migrated to a new ILS and reorganized technical services during FY 2015-16. These technological and organizational changes transformed technical service operations, especially ordering receiving workflows, which led to cultural changes throughout technical services and in collection development activities.

In addition to the myriad incremental changes that normal tech service operations face, WVU experienced the technological and organizational transformation that arose out of moving to a next gen ILS in a networked community system, resulting in the merging of copy cataloging activities with acquisitions. This had a significant impact on print ordering and receiving operations. Additionally, loading of MARC records for electronic resources was replaced by simply maintaining the new knowledge base, which is fully integrated with the new discovery system.

Following on the heels of these changes, cultural changes have filtered throughout the unit and collaborations with subject liaisons. The new organizational structure, reporting lines and duties in a new system have led to more participation, collaboration, and accountability within technical services. External to the unit, collection development has shifted to allocations by college and subject, allowing librarians to have larger input to resources in their areas.

The objectives of this session are to increase attendees' understanding of: 


  1. the difference between incremental and transformational change 

  2. the various drivers for transformational change, and 

  3. how to prepare for, continue through, and move past large changes that affect technology, organization, and culture. 


Audience will participate in polls in order to compare with other organizations.

The Future of Discovery - Hyperknowledge
The volume of data and different formats (text, video, images) today is overwhelming, and traditional search, while brilliant for 'known item searching', does not perform well around 'conceptual search'
In this presentation we will explain how next generation technology can help deal with fragmented information in multiple formats and to help make sense of this for researchers, and more importantly, how it can help people find connections that they didn't even know to look for
The audience will be invited to review some real case studies across different areas of how the new technology (hyperknowledge) has helped drive research forward in various domains and also how it's driving up standards in teaching environments
The audience will learn about the potential of this groundbreaking new technology which changes how research is conducted, and how research communities and individuals can engage and work together.

The Librarian's Survival Guide to the 'Big Deal': Tools for Unbundling
In 2016, the Canadian loonie fell to 77% of the U.S. dollar, creating unexpected financial challenges for collections management. Examining usage statistics was the clear first place to start when evaluating resources for cancellation - but would data-driven decisions based purely on cost per use be adequate?

In this joint presentation by Western University and EBSCO Information Services, we will look beyond cost per use, and focus on how Western built on the "big deal" analysis work initiated by the University de Montreal, adding a journal overlap analysis and home-grown method of performing citation analysis using Web of Science and Scopus to determine where university researchers and their collaborators are publishing. Early results from selected publisher packages show that Western is able to save nearly half the "big deal" sticker price with minimal impact to researchers and students.

We will also discuss our collaborative work with other Canadian universities through the Ontario Council of University Libraries (OCUL) and the Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN). EBSCO Information Services will demonstrate how they helped inform this process by providing title cost and usage data.

The interactive session will involve the audience through discussions about their own collection assessment challenges and triumphs. Attendees will leave with new ideas, questions to consider, and practical tools to help experiment with unbundling their own "big deals."

This session was co-authored by Alie Visser, Research & Instructional Services Librarian, Western University, who was unable to attend the conference.

The Road Ahead? Patron-Driven Acquisition Might Become...
Library patrons make use of many forms of content: journals, ebooks, videos, audio tracks, archival documents, musical scores, etc. Each of these content types is amenable to PDA and the technology certainly exists to deliver each of these content types in PDA. So what stands in the way? We consider the prospects for a future-state of PDA that is multimedia, universal in its publisher/provider inclusion and delivered in an "e-commerce," if you will, environment where the content providers and the library can engage in negotiated agreement on item subscription charges and the trigger to purchase, rather than these being set by the aggregator.

In this panel we will explore three trends propelling us toward this future state and three trends hindering this future state, and will solicit feedback from participants as to other trends we may have missed.

Propelling:
1. Continually tightening library budgets
2. Gradual emergence of affordable, patron-driven models like ReadCube
3. Decreasing demonstrable value of "commodity collections," especially in print and especially in research libraries, moving us towards digitization of rare and unique collections for consumption on demand

Hindering:
1. The emergence of a standard for a platform
2. Flexible terms on triggers and prices
3. Strong cultur of "institutional ownership" and collection building in libraries

We're on a Roll: Transforming E-Book Acquisitions in a Shifting Budget Landscape
In response to the challenging budget landscape in 2015/16, the University of British Columbia Library took a new approach to e-book acquisitions. The Associate University Librarian, Collections, established a working group with a mandate to develop and implement a strategy for library-wide e-book purchasing. Members of the group were drawn from both campuses and represented public and technical services and a broad spectrum of disciplines.

In this presentation, we will briefly review the factors that led to the formation of the working group, then discuss the steps taken in the analysis, selection, and purchase of e-books. The committee's two-pronged approach - the purchase of large ebook packages and participation in evidence-based acquisitions programs with Cambridge, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, and CRC Press - will be explored in depth.

We will highlight the benefits of cross-unit collaboration, the vendor and publisher relations, and the effective use of limited funds. We will discuss the many challenges around discovery and access, evaluation and decision-making, and transitioning the program into the current fiscal year.

We expect that our presentation will contribute to the broader picture of how large academic libraries can address rising costs, limited budgets, and the variety of publisher e-book offers.

Why We Blog - Reshaping Research, Captivating Tales from Academic Bloggers
Hear firsthand from ACI Scholarly Blog Index authors, leading academics in their field, on why they blog and the value and importance blogging plays in their academic role and scholarly communication. Blogging and microblogging enable new forms of interaction between authors and their readers. The next generation of college students are Internet savvy, but not all are information literate. How do faculty and librarians bridge students' information gaps and teach them information skills, beyond tweeting and texting, to think critically and be successful? Scholarly blogs are part of the solution and an aid to reshaping approaches to research. Panelists share background stories and insights on academic blogging.

Access to Freely Available Journal Articles: Gold, Green and Rogue Open Access across the Disciplines
A recent bibliometrics study found that 54% of 4.6 million scientific papers from peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus during the years 2011-2013 could be downloaded for free on the internet in April of 2014 (Archambault, et al. 2014). As time rolls on, authors and researchers are increasingly using more-and-less legal scholarly article sharing services to "take back the literature," or even just to access it more conveniently (Bohannon, 2016). The objective of this study was to evaluate a manageable sample of journal articles across the sciences, social sciences and humanities for their availability in gold, green and rogue open access forms, including ResearchGate and Sci-Hub. Attendees will gain a greater appreciation of the extent of open access availability through Google Scholar, Google and commercial discovery systems, and will be challenged to roll with the times by expanding the role of libraries in broadening access to the freely available literature.

The Devil is in the Details: Challenges of Collaborative Collecting

There is an old African saying:  “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” The Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida (UF) are active participants in a number of collaborative collection development initiatives that provide significant benefits to us, to our partners, and to others who benefit from the results of our efforts. Each of these initiatives requires a significant effort to establish and sustain trust and to maintain the value to the collaborators. Each step often takes longer to plan and to execute because a number of people have to be consulted and have their preferences and concerns addressed. But UF continues to invest in these initiatives and to seek additional opportunities for deep collaboration, because in the end, they take us much farther than we can go alone. 

Examples of these collaborations, and the details that challenged us, include the ASERL Collaborative Federal Depository Program; the Digital Library of the Carribean (dLOC); the Florida Academic Repository (FLARE) and Scholar’s Trust, two shared print archiving projects in which Florida has a lead or significant role; a somewhat controversial collaboration with Elsevier, recently expended to include other publishers through CHORUS; and a new partnership with the Biblioteca Nacional “José Martí” de Cuba, (BNJM) to establish a Cuban Heritage collection for worldwide public access by collaborating with other research libraries to digitize monographs, journals, newspapers, and government documents from and about Cuba produced primarily before the 20th Century.

As we all know, the advent of the ebook have had a profound impact on libraries. What started as very tentative steps with NetLibrary at the turn of the millennium – this seems like a lifetime ago! - has rapidly evolved with the integration of digital content and services in libraries. The evolution from print to online has been a rocky and complicated journey, unlike the relatively smooth transition from print to online format for journals. Much has been written and said about the challenges and opportunities resulting from the ebook. Major challenges include ownership, preservation, discovery, accessibility, licensing and acquisition models, and usability. It’s time to take a step back and look at the remarkable evolution of the ebook – where have we come from, where are we today, and most importantly, where do we want the adoption or integration of ebooks to lead us? What does this mean for the iconic role of the monograph in libraries and in particular for the success of our students and faculty? Looking back can help us better understand the odyssey of the road ahead. What are the main drivers, challenges, and opportunities? Our panelists have significant and varying experiences with ebooks in libraries and they will bring us their insights and analyses.  They will address various issues and challenges, guided by the questions below.

A Tale of Two Liaison Programs: University of Central Florida Libraries & Louisiana State University Libraries Partnering for Subject Librarian Excellence
Are you considering establishing a new or re-invigorated Subject Liaison program in your library but don't know how to begin? Why not partner with an established liaison program at another library?

In spring 2015, key public service managers at Louisiana State University Libraries visited University of Central Florida Libraries to learn about UCF's three-year-old reimagined Subject Liaison program.  LSU managers liked what they saw at UCF and returned home with a to-do list that included: working with their Collection Development Department to fine-tune academic program assignments for LSU liaisons; creating a liaison training program that focused on academic program profiling, faculty profiling, curriculum mapping, curriculum integrated instruction, and increased  liaison visibility and accessibility; proactive outreach to faculty and students to market library services and resources.

Sample liaison training documents, collegial advice, and progress reports traveled back and forth between UCF and LSU throughout summer and fall 2015, leading to the UCF- RIS Head traveling to LSU in January 2016 for face-to-face training sessions with LSU Liaisons. Fast forward to fall 2016 and now LSU liaisons are participating in bi-weekly training meetings that incorporate topics from curriculum mapping to licensing of electronic databases.
 
Public Service heads from UCF and LSU will discuss how their liaison programs are the same and how they differ; what the challenges are in their current programs and what the future may hold. Lessons learned by UCF and LSU will provide insight for other academic libraries wishing to create liaison programs designed to support student and faculty success at their own institutions. Attendees will be encouraged to ask questions and share ideas from their own liaison program perspectives. After participating in this program, attendees will be able to develop winning liaison program strategies for their own institution.

Against the Numbers: Usage Statistics and Critical Library Instruction
Librarians may not typically consider consulting usage statistics when preparing for an instructional session. However, doing so may allow them to take a critical approach to instruction and faculty collaborations. Usage statistics, though imperfect, allow librarians to pinpoint underutilized electronic resources and, when combined with qualitative data, may help librarians determine what subject-specific resources are overlooked by students. Learn how librarians may partner with faculty to proactively promote library resources through instructional sessions, instructional tools, and assignment design. Such collaborations may improve use of library resources and encourage students to incorporate marginalized resources, works, and voices into their course work.

An Electronic Resources Workflow is Worth a Thousand Words
The processes involved in managing electronic resources are complex. They are becoming even more so with the addition of streaming media, DDA, evidence-based subscriptions, weeding, and unanticipated changes. Rowan University's electronic resources group recently documented its electronic resource management workflows in order to a) communicate complex processes to a diverse group of library stakeholders such as reference and instruction librarians, collection development professionals, acquisitions and technology and systems staff; b) provide guidelines to train new employees; and c) establish a record of current processes, for future reference, evaluation, and revision of workflows. This poster session shows how one academic library has customized workflows to accommodate the needs of its users, and how sharing these workflows has positively contributed to the library.

This poster was co-authored by Lauren Orner, Electronic Resources and Serials Program Assistant, Rowan University, who was unable to attend the conference.

An Exploration of Bibliometric Network Visualizations and their Role in the Library
Visualizations based on bibliometric data can be used to map the the output of a faculty, department, or institution's impact and their collaborations with one another. As metrics of impact become more important, especially as grant funding agencies mandate the measurement of research impact and other similar outcomes, libraries and librarians face an opportune moment to develop services, skills, and relationships with university faculty and administrators using bibliometrics and visualizations.

This poster will demonstrate how North Carolina State University (NCSU) has recently developed capabilities in bibliometric network visualizations. Librarians at NCSU have worked with faculty and administrators to develop network graphs of scholarly output and collaboration of departments and institutes on campus. Some of the uses of the network graphs were to track the development and growth of a grant funded institute at NCSU and to determine the structure of a college's departments.

Attendees will learn how to use bibliometric data gathered from databases such as Web of Science and how to process and visualize this data using open source network visualization software such as Sci2 and Gephi. Different visualizations will also be demonstrated in order to compare and contrast the effectiveness of presenting such complex information. Lastly, attendees will learn how the visualization of bibliometric data can be applied to the context of the library, both in terms of the upskilling of librarians and the relationships built with faculty and administrators from providing this service.

Consumer Health for College Students
At Michigan State University (MSU), the health of our students is important. College brings up many issues for students such as depression, anxiety and more. According to a subset of results for MSU from the 2014 National College Health Assessment, 84% of students reported feeling overwhelmed at least once in the last year and 28% reported it affected their academic performance. These statistics are on par with national averages. Although many campuses have accessible health services, they are not used to their full potential. One study shows that of students who are diagnosed with depression, only 24% are actively receiving treatment. Presumably, many students are trying to cope with these health issues on their own.

We decided to start a pilot program establishing a small consumer health book collection aimed at issues students are facing. We have found reports of child- or adult-focused consumer health collections but few devoted to college students. We hope to reach students with health information that may go into more depth than they are able to find online. We are placing the books in our browsing collection which is a high profile location and includes popular works of fiction and non-fiction.

To help with choosing materials in subjects of high need, we collaborated with several organizations across the campus, including the health center, the Student Health Advisory Council, and local health education experts. Through this we can position the library as a partner in the wellbeing of our students.

Embracing the Future While Preserving the Past: Libraries Find Common Ground at the Joint Library Facility
It is not a new trend that libraries are being forced to reduce their print collections in order to repurpose space for their students and faculty. Indeed, it has become more the norm than the exception here in the United States. It is not a new trend that more US libraries are sharing facilities to store print materials, but the stability and successful continuity of these collaborations varies widely across the country.

The Joint Library Facility in Bryan, Texas, has been a successful collaboration between Texas A&M University and the University of Texas in Austin since 2013. The first 18,000 square foot warehouse built in 2012 can hold 1 million volumes and is now three-quarters full. A second warehouse is breaking ground just a few feet away to hold another 1 million volumes. The enormous success of this unlikely partnership was built on a strategic plan to hold one copy of each unique item, and allow free Interlibrary Loan services for any Texas library in need. Academic and medical libraries alike have benefitted from this unique common ground. The Texas Medical Center Library is just one of many that secured access to a print collection lost in a library re-design, by partnering with the JLF. Meanwhile, the JLF is acquiring new spaces and new roles in preserving the past while embracing the future.

Failure and Success: A Materials Budget Case Study at Connecticut College

This poster session will outline the strategy Connecticut College librarians used in an attempt to secure funds to offset inflationary cost increases for serials and e-resources and the strategy used to eliminate subscriptions when that request for funding was denied. One half of the poster, "Failure," will share the activities and data used to educate the College community about the crisis in the materials budget and to convince budget planners that additional funds were needed to prevent the elimination of resources.

As new funds were not forthcoming, the second half of the poster, "Success," will share the process used for faculty and library staff to determine together which resources would be eliminated and thus ensure the retention of more important titles. The Collections Advisory Task Force, including faculty with a history of heavy library use and librarians, identified $100,000 worth of titles for elimination. The Task Force meetings, though initially contentious, were effective in establishing process and trust, and eventually members agreed on titles for cancellation. The list was presented to the College faculty in May 2016. 

This poster session will be of interest to those who face the same kind of pressure to reduce subscriptions due to flat or decreasing materials budgets. Others will find interesting the strategies to convince campus stakeholders of the problem, and to manage the situation when funding is not approved. We hope viewers will come away with insight to improve their own strategies to secure funding or, alternatively, manage subscription elimination decisions effectively.

Four Years of E-book Purchasing: What Are We Buying and Is It Getting Used?
This poster describes a project we undertook to review how our purchasing patterns have changed since we set up licenses with e-book vendors through GOBI four years ago. While we knew which liaisons were initially most interested in purchasing e-books, after setting up the licenses we had not gathered any follow up data about what selection decisions liaisons were making. We wanted to see what data we could compile on this, and we were particularly interested in identifying subject areas in which a real mix of e-books and print were being purchased which we could examine to compare print circulation and e-book usage of purchased titles. The objective of the poster is to show what data we were able to gather, what aspects of this study proved more challenging than initially expected, and how we're hoping to use our findings to shape internal conversations about e-book purchasing.

Linked Data and SHARE
ARL's SHARE project (http://www.share-research.org) "is building a free, open, data set about research and scholarly activities across their life cycle." Working with SHARE, the Center for Open Science (COS) has harvested and organized a wealth of metadata from various institutional repositories and other sources such as open data repositories. While COS has already provided a search function, there remains a need for other mechanisms to discover, search and visualize content within SHARE. With funding from the Sloan Foundation, the Sheridan Libraries at Johns Hopkins University, Portico and IEEE have developed RMap (http://rmap-project.info/rmap/), which features a method for building and displaying linked data information graphs.

Using the RMap protocol for aggregations known as DiSCO, which is based on the OAI-ORE protocol, and a set of REST APIs, the RMap team has worked with COS to develop a data model for SHARE and harmonize the SHARE metadata into a set of linked data information graphs. These linked data graphs represent a useful resource and lens for making new connections between content within the SHARE network, identifying gaps in SHARE metadata and visualizing the SHARE network as a linked data framework. The COS has expressed an interest for additional work with RMap and SHARE.

The RMap team has also generated linked data information graphs from all of the journal content from IEEE and additional content from ACM, NCBI and Portico, all of which was used to infer connections within the SHARE network.

Metrics, Meaning, and Context: Librarian Roles in Reporting Faculty Impact and Author Profile Curation
Citation analysis can be used as a tool to report activity and impact for departmental annual reports, faculty promotion and tenure dossiers, campus-wide visibility initiatives, and beyond. At a STEM focused doctoral granting institution, librarians analyze citation metrics annually, gathering h-index numbers, citation numbers at varying intervals, and highest cited papers for each individual. Comparing three available citation tools, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar, librarians noticed many inconsistencies and variations. I plan to walk participants through this analysis process, highlight efficiencies, and point out problem areas.

Newer tools such as ResearchGate, Kudos, and Altmetrics are bringing more to the conversation about truly measuring impact, in addition to tools like SciVal, Pure, and Converis. There is a common problem of maintenance of effort and author identification. ORCiD has made great strides in many author identification areas, but there is more to be done to engage the faculty to populate their individual profiles.

Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes: Three User-Centered Collection Development Practices at Carleton University Library
From 2014-2016, Carleton University Library has been super-adding to the traditional ways it practices collection development. In addition to the subject liaison firm order selection model, the past two years the Library has added three successful new user-centred ways to acquire material for the Library. In the Collections department, we ended the approval plan and instead used its selection framework to create a DDA plan. In the Reserves department, we started a textbook purchasing program. And in the Interlibrary Loans department, we instituted print purchase on demand procedures.

We propose a triptych with three easy-to-read sections, dedicated to each of the preceding three initiatives. Each section will provide a concise but substantial overview of the initiative; set-up challenges and parameters of operation; data visualization of circulation statistics compared to the industry average; strengths and weaknesses; and key takeaways.

This poster may be of interest to librarians who would like to consider adopting one or more of these user-centred collection development initiatives, and to vendors who might like to hear about why user- centred models resonate well in the current academic climate of accountability and good financial stewardship.

Open and Collaborative: Building the Big Ten Academic Alliance Geoportal Abstract
Ten member institutions of the Big Ten Academic Alliance, formerly the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) worked together to create the Big Ten Academic Alliance Geoportal, a discovery interface to facilitate access, and to connect scholars to geospatial data resources. Ten of the member institutions are participating in the project, including the University of Illinois at Urbana­-Champaign, Indiana University, the University of Iowa, the University of Maryland, the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, the University of Minnesota, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University, and the University of Wisconsin-­Madison. The institutions worked together to identify openly available data sets to make searchable in the interface. The project then organized the collaborative creation and aggregation of discovery-focused metadata describing geospatial data resources and made those resources discoverable via an open source portal built in Geoblacklight. The collectively supported project provides the staffing and technical infrastructure to host and develop the services. The poster will show the organization of this collaborative project and the established processes for collaborative geospatial metadata creation and portal development. It will also outline upcoming work for the project, including interface assessment and plans to include licensed data in the discovery interface.

Ordering E-Books from a Print Book Vendor
The University of Southern Mississippi recently began ordering e-books through their primary book vendor, Midwest Library Service. This is a new service offered by Midwest beginning in 2016. The University of Southern Mississippi had previously ordered e-books with another book vendor, but within the last two years had switched to ordering directly with the e-book vendors - Ebook Library and Ebrary. Jennifer Culley, Collection Management and Acquisitions Librarian at The University of Southern Mississippi, will discuss the process for adding this new service, issues along the way, any possible benefits or costs, and also discuss changes to work flows for the Acquisitions department. Cindy Human, Regional Manager with Midwest Library Service, will explain the software changes and steps taken to make this new service work for The University of Southern Mississippi. This presentation will describe the collaborative process between The University of Southern Mississippi Libraries and Midwest Library Service in setting up the new e-book service and will be informative for the audience who may be considering adding a similar feature with their book vendors, or give participants who want to discuss their issues or experiences a forum to do so.

Rolling with a Direction in Mind: Implementing a DRM-free DDA Program and Understanding User Behavior
Demand-driven acquisitions has been part of the University of Washington's ebook purchasing strategy since 2011, via local and consortial DDA programs with EBL. While this aligns with the University Libraries' commitment to user-driven collection development, it has not advanced its more recently affirmed strategy of increasing the amount of DRM-free content provided to patrons. A DDA program begun with JSTOR in May, 2015, unites these two strategies and also aligns with the University Libraries' desire to support university presses and other not-for-profit scholarly publishing.

Information on the University of Washington's implementation experience will be shared, including budgeting, duplication control, and assessment, along with comparative usage data with other local ebook collections.

The University of Washington experience will be put into a broader context by JSTOR, especially as it relates to acquisition methods, discovery, and usage. There will be a detailed overview of post-purchase usage across libraries for DRM-free ebooks acquired via JSTOR's DDA model and those purchased as individual titles from YBP or direct from JSTOR. This will be compared to the usage seen from the University of Washington.

Understanding how users are finding and using DRM-free ebooks is also important to libraries wanting to promote this type of DRM-free content. JSTOR will provide an overview of how ebooks are first being discovered before chapters are used on the JSTOR p[latform from various sources such as Google, indexed discovery services, JSTOR, and library websites. The University of Washington experience will be analyzed to illustrate these findings.

Self-Directed Training Programs: What Have We Gotten Ourselves Into!
In response to an Old Dominion University Library Administration initiative, the Acquisitions & Preservation Services and Reference Departments participated in a self-directed training pilot project over a six month period from October 2015 through March 2016. Administrators looked to the departments to inform them of the viability of implementing such a program system-wide and to develop a blueprint for other units in the library to follow in case of implementation.

Department members were charged with completing two programs per month in any of eighteen subject areas. In addition, participants were asked to keep a log of programs attended, to write a synopsis of those programs, and to explain how the sessions impacted their work performance. Webinars, formal training modules, in-library programs, on-campus training sessions - about any delivery format and forum were acceptable options.

Visuals will provide an overview of the initiative, charts of training sessions attended, and challenges faced by participants. Perhaps, most importantly, takeaways and recommendations will be represented including insights into whether self-directed training is a feasible option for meeting individual and library training needs. An example of an effective and efficient self-directed training model will be featured.

University Press DDA and EBA Acquisition Pilots at UIUC
The University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign has been exploring options to obtain the best academic content from University Presses in the format and on the platform users find fits their needs. The Library works with a number of vendors to cover the purchase of new academic content from these publishers. Funding comes from a central pool for new titles as well as the bibliographers' subject allocations. Users had not been happy with platforms with DRM that limit easy use or with the sheer number of ebook interfaces. The poster covers new initiatives designed to enhance access to ebooks while not replacing the print access many faculty still want. Metrics from two large DDA/EBA pilots completed in FY2016 that allowed for online access to new and archival ebook content will be presented. The implementation of the programs as well as patterns of use will provided.

Will Weed DDA for Money: DDA Collection Management Decisions in an Economic Crisis
2015 was not just a tough year for the mining sector in Canada. The drastic drop in the value of the Canadian dollar resulted in a fiscal crisis that left Western University Libraries with an unprecedented and unpredictable 25 percent decrease in purchasing power. With a large, successful DDA program to maintain, Western was faced with an economic crisis of their own.

The likelihood of a continued weak Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar led Western to determine that rolling with the fiscal times would be the only option. As a cornerstone of their acquisition strategy, the DDA would have to be revamped to ensure minimal impact on both stakeholders and the collection while working within the current fiscal realities.

This joint session shares the Western experience in working with ProQuest to develop a collection management plan that would transform a challenge into an opportunity by using a budget crisis to spur the creation of a replicable and repeatable DDA collection clean-up process. We will share the step-by-step project timeline, describe problems and outline how we worked together to develop solutions.

Are Print Books REALLY Dead?: Exploring the Relationship between the Technology Acceptance Model and the Use of E-books at a Large Research University
Recent research suggests that digital natives still prefer to read print or hard copy books. However, a study that applied the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to faculty acceptance of e-books found one group, those who feel they are easier to use, do use them. Researchers plan to survey current students who are library users about their usage of e-books in relation to TAM. The research seeks to examine the following questions: How does perceived usefulness affect e-book usage by library users? How does perceived ease of use affect e-book usage by library users? Is there a difference in the effect of perceived usefulness between online and in person library users? Is there a difference in the effect of perceived ease of use between online and in person library users? Building on models from psychology recent studies explored the possible relationships between TAM and usability testing found a correlation between perceived ease of use and usability attributes. An extensive e-book collection provides support to advance educational excellence. However, this cannot happen if these resources are not used. We hope to be able to share information about e-books, usability, and user acceptance to help librarians make more informed choices when selecting e-book vendors or ordering titles.

Deciphering eBook Vendors, Models, and Access Rules: Using Catalog Records to Aid Subject Selectors
Managing eBooks in the library catalog, as part of a package or on an individual title basis, involves a variety of purchase or subscription models, vendor platforms, and access rules. From the subject selector perspective, it can be challenging to identify when an eBook title is owned, leased, or simply loaded in the catalog awaiting a potential evidence based selection or demand driven acquisition when making collection development decisions. At Randall Library we have added information to certain fields in eBook catalog records in order to aid liaison librarians in selection decisions, but without confusing patrons. This process, which we also apply to streaming video records, helps to distinguish the different access and ownership status, whether it is an evidence based selection, demand driven acquisition, owned, a subscription from our institution, or a subscription from the statewide consortium NC LIVE.

Head in the Clouds: Will a Next Generation Library Management System Bring Clear Vision?
Libraries are constantly looking for efficient ways to manage print and electronic resources through entire lifecycles and uphold their commitment to be responsible stewards of university assets. The cloud is one way for libraries to achieve these goals. Cloud computing allows storing and accessing of data and programs over the Internet instead of on a computer's hard drive. In 2011, Virginia Commonwealth University Libraries decided to look at cloud-based library management systems to replace the legacy system they had for ten years. They were looking for ways to improve workflows, unify job functions and improve staff success. After researching a number of systems and finding an attractive prospect, the VCU Libraries was invited to become an "Early Adopter" and implemented Ex Libris' Alma.  As an adopter of the cloud for four years, they are examining their decision. 

This poster will describe the Libraries' journey from "Go Live" in 2012 up until the four year anniversary on October 24, 2016 and share successes, challenges and downright failures. The audience will learn if the cloud really brought simplified workflows, a connected environment and staff success.

Housing Diversity in Children's Literature
Several studies have examined diversity in children's literature, such as gender diversity and racial diversity. This concurrent session focuses on an often-overlooked issue in children's literature...housing diversity.  Renting and apartment-living are increasingly popular housing options. Many families with children live in something other than an owned single-family detached house. In the stories they read and the accompanying images, children need to see individuals portrayed positively in a variety of housing environments. 

Due to the limited research in this field, a pilot study was conducted to evaluate the "housing message" in children's literature.  This poster will address the limited research in this field. Then, using both positive and negative examples, the poster will display a variety of children's books to evaluate the words and images that are used in these stories to describe the housing structures, the neighborhood, the residents, and the staff.

Metadata Maker for Digital Publication
As many academic and research libraries are considering or have already started developing digital scholarly publishing programs, these programs need to find a proper way to create metadata for access to these new publications. However, metadata for digital publications has its own challenges in two areas: metadata schemas and controlled vocabularies. For example, metadata for digital publications requires a specific set of metadata elements that are different from traditional print resources. Also, in order for scholarly digital publications to be managed and discovered with other books that are published by established publishing houses, the application of subject headings should be described using controlled vocabularies that are standard in the publishing community, such as BISAC (https://www.bisg.org/bisac/bisac-subject-codes), and represented in the ONIX format in addition to MARC and MODS, metadata schemas used in the library domain. Furthermore, as libraries are moving forward towards the semantic web and linked data, metadata should also include linked data components that would increase the discoverability of resources on the web.

This poster introduces a metadata creation tool for electronic resources including digital publications, Metadata Maker for E-books (http://quest.library.illinois.edu/marcmaker/ebooks/) created to support these needs. The tool utilizes two subject headings: FAST for traditional library description, and BISAC subject codes and terms for publishers. Metadata Maker provides users, who may have minimal metadata knowledge and experience, a tool to create metadata in five different formats: MARC, MARCXML, MODS, schema.org embedded HTML, and ONIX for Books, depending on their needs.

The Dreaded Cold Call
Every subject librarian has had a lukewarm relationship with a department or two at different points in their career. Many academic librarians and libraries accept this as the status-quo or the cost of doing business.  However there is another option, the dreaded Cold Call. Cold calling is a business technique where a salesperson contacts individuals who have not expressed an interest in their services or products. While this is a sales focused business technique the same concepts are transferable to academic libraries. 

The poster will cover literature, theory, and best practices in connecting with faculty in departments that are historically under represented through library services. The presenters own experience with cold calling, salesmanship, and how this relates to subject librarianship will be analyzed and discussed through case study, data analysis, and measurable outcomes.

To Buy or Not to Buy: Rolling into the Future with ILLiad
This poster will showcase our new method for receiving purchase requests from faculty, staff, and students. ILLiad software is typically used for Interlibrary Loan activities only, but a special addon [produced by the IDS Project at SUNY] can be added and used for acquisitions and collection development activities/analysis. The poster will include the process of implementation and results of this new service. Discussion of OCLC's Collection Evaluation will also be included as a part of our collection analysis process. 

The objective of the session is to show how other libraries can leave the past behind and roll into the future by ditching paper request forms and embracing technology to help build collections. Attendees will learn about the technical process and why it might work well for their own purposes.

Using Technology to Facilitate Pre-Acquisition Workflows for Electronic Resources
Investigation of new e-resource requests before a purchase decision is made can be very complex, potentially involving gathering information from various parties (publishers/vendors, library stakeholders), setting up a trial, gathering trial feedback, and making sure stakeholders are notified in a timely manner throughout of the investigation process.    The University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) Libraries approached this management challenge by creating a dynamic online form.  With its front end originated in InfoPath and its backend database & workflow controlled in SharePoint, this form allows an automated process covering request submission, product evaluation, collection development review, trial setup, and selection decision.  All the information regarding a specific request is gathered into this form, with automated email notifications to stakeholders at each major step of the process.  The front end of the form is designed to be very simple and user-friendly, requiring only three pieces of information from liaison librarians: purchase request title, reason for request, and college with interest. 

Since the form was launched in July 2015, 73 requests have been submitted.  This new form has saved a lot of staff time in managing and communicating about e-journal/e-resource requests, which translates to improved services to liaison librarians and library users.
The posterr will address the challenge of managing pre-acquisition activities, discuss UNR's homegrown solution, and encourage attendees to share their experiences.

Where Is the Library Budget Going?: Using the Fund Code Structure in Your ILS to Demonstrate Fiscal Accountabilty and Track Format Migration
Our collections continue to migrate to an online environment, but often administrators outside the library (or even in it) are tied to fiscal concepts that do not reflect new formats and modes of access.  Administrators look at electronic resource expenditures and don't always understand that they are not just for databases, but also for ejournals and ebooks that can be subscribed to or owned.  Fund code structures that are built into our ILS systems can be used to demonstrate how resource budgets are expended by format and subject, which can then be tied into more formal assessment and analysis of each type of resource. The fund code properties of III's Sierra will be used to demonstrate how to build a structure to track expenditures by subject and format and that can be modified with the addition of new codes as modes of access and ownership evolve.

Reimagining Our World At Planetary Scale: The Big Data Future Of Our Libraries
What happens when massive computing power brings together an ever-growing cross-section of the world’s information in realtime, from news media to social media, books to academic literature, the world’s libraries to the web itself, machine translates all of that material as it arrives, and applies a vast array of algorithms to identify the events and emotions, actors and narratives and their myriad connections that define the planet to create a living silicon replica of global society? The GDELT Project (http://gdeltproject.org/), supported by Google Zigsaw, is the largest open data initiative in the world focusing on cataloging and modeling global human society, offering a first glimpse at what this emerging “big data” understanding of society looks like.  Operating the world’s largest open deployments of streaming machine translation, sentiment analysis, geocoding, image analysis and event identification, coupled with perhaps the world’s largest program to catalog local media, the GDELT Project monitors worldwide news media, emphasizing small local outlets, live machine translating all coverage it monitors in 65 languages, flagging mentions of people and organizations, cataloging relevant imagery, video, and social posts, converting textual mentions of location to mappable geographic coordinates, identifying millions of themes and thousands of emotions, extracting over 300 categories of physical events, collaborating with the Internet Archive to preserve online news and making all of this available in a free open data firehose of human society.  This is coupled with a massive socio-cultural contextualization dataset codified from more than 21 billion words of academic literature spanning most unclassified US Government publications, the open web, and more than 2,200 journals representing the majority of humanities and social sciences research on Africa and the Middle East over the last half century. The world’s largest open deep learning image cataloging initiative, totaling more than 150 million images, inventories the world’s news imagery in realtime, identifying the objects, activities, locations, words and emotions defining the world’s myriad visual narratives and allowing them for the first time to be explored alongside traditional textual narratives. Used by governments, NGOs, scholars, journalists, and ordinary citizens across the world to identify breaking situations, map evolving conflicts, model the undercurrents of unrest, explore the flow of ideas and narratives across borders, and even forecast future unrest, the GDELT Project constructs a realtime global catalog of behavior and beliefs across every country, connecting the world’s information into a single massive ever-evolving realtime network capturing what's happening around the world, what its context is and who's involved, and how the world is feeling about it, every single day. Here’s what it looks like to conduct data analytics at a truly planetary scale and the incredible new insights we gain about the daily heartbeat of our global world and what we can learn about the role of libraries in our big data future.

A Running Start: A Crowd-Sourced Database of Due Diligence to Invoke Section 108
Starting in the late 1970s academic libraries built collections of VHS titles with an emphasis on supporting classroom teaching. On average academic libraries have more than 3000 VHS tapes.

Eclipsed by robust and rapid adoption of DVDs, the VHS era is now over. But a crisis is welling for libraries. Of the hundreds of thousands of VHS recordings commercially released, a substantial number never were released on DVD or in streaming format. To compound matters, industry experts estimate that various forces converge against VHS (age of tapes, irreparable and irreplaceable equipment, retirement of VHS technicians) ultimately making the format inaccessible by 2027.

Under Section 108 of US Copyright law libraries have an available remedy to this problem. The law allows duplication of content that is lost, damaged, stolen, deteriorating, or in an obsolete format. A library, however, cannot simply begin digitizing all their VHS tapes. Section 108 requires that, prior to duplication, a reasonable search be conducted to determine that an unused copy of the title is not available at a fair price, and evidence of that search should be kept.

This session presents a cooperative database, established to capture the search efforts for current distribution of VHS video titles, and to identify titles eligible for duplication under Section 108.

The crowd-sourced database is available now for others to jump start their own preservation efforts but others are invited to contribute. The metadata available through the database can serve as a foundation for coordinated digitization efforts.

A Tale of Two Serials Cancellations
Beginning in 2016, both WWU and GWU found that they needed to make significant and similar reductions in continuations costs over the next five years. In response, this past year, both institutions took independent, significant steps toward these ends, developing systematic, sustainable procedures for addressing these reductions. The approaches taken by the two institutions will be compared and contrasted in this presentation, particularly with respect to the following questions, which both libraries encountered:
• What defines a ‘successful’ cancellation process in 2016?
• What are the most effective approaches to cancelling serials?
• When do cancellations do 'least harm' to students and faculty? After cancellations, how is access to content affected to the smallest degree possible?
• Did the cancellation process have the appearance of fairness to stakeholders? How does a library foster university buy-in?
• What do successful negotiations with publishers look like?

Members of the team will discuss:
• criteria for possible retention or cancellation
• different assessment methods utilized
• communication with subject liaisons and disciplinary teams
• outreach to and response from faculty
The panel will also address lessons learned from their efforts, as well as future plans in a continuing flat budget scenario.

Big Data 2.0: Critical Roles for Libraries and Librarians
Big Data is a live issue in e-commerce and market intelligence, e-government and politics, national security, and smart healthcare; a key feature of digital scholarship and open science; and an emergent concern for education and the cultural heritage sectors. Big Data 2.0 raises the stakes: the convergence of e-science with business intelligence, crowdsourcing, data analytics, social media, and Web2.0 technologies allows broader and deeper applications, involving cooperative processing of structured and unstructured data. Hype around the "data talent gap" highlights a shortage of candidates for data science jobs with the requisite computational and analytical skills, but informed observers point to an equally critical need for competence in digital curation to ensure proper stewardship of data, best done by institutions with preservation know-how. Libraries already provide data literacy education, research data services, data mining support, and open linked data, but should now engage with the Big Data initiatives launched in the US and globally as collaborative, interdisciplinary, cross-sector endeavors predicated on large-scale community participation. The session will explain how data-intensive research is moving to new levels of technical and organizational complexity, promising advances in human knowledge for the benefit of society, but raising critical issues for institutions and individuals relevant to information professionals. It will describe salient characteristics of Big Data megaprojects and explore opportunities for library involvement. Participants will be invited to share experiences of Big Data and consider potential responses to the challenges presented. They will gain fuller understanding of large-scale big data projects and their implications for libraries.

Book Usage is Rollin' Down: Multifaceted Assessment of Monograph Collection Performance to Optimize Purchase Decisions
Georgia State University's print circulation has declined over 50% since 2010. Collection development librarians made several small-scale adjustments to address this trend, yet the drop off in use continued unabated. We had to totally rethink the book budget. In order to make changes strategically and responsibly, we needed answers to a variety of questions: Who is using the books? Are there disciplines that do not need firm order allocations, or even monographs? Does format matter? Does it matter how the titles are acquired (approval vs. firm order vs. DDA)?

This session will discuss the multifaceted data-driven analysis we developed in order to provide a detailed and holistic picture of monograph collection performance and buying patterns. For example, we analyzed use of the monograph collection broken down by spending categories, format, and LC class, but also compared usage of the entire collection to the performance of the recently acquired titles. A more qualitative component of the project involved recording the decisions underlying the subject librarians' FY16 purchases. We will share how we developed our analysis, what our data has revealed, surprises within the project, and the action items generated by our activities. We hope to generate a discussion among audience members about how others have approached and addressed the problem of declining print circulation.

Collection Development Environmental Scan: A Strategy for Informed Decision Making
The researchers conducted an environmental scan of thirteen of Washington State University Libraries' peer institutions. The set of chosen libraries were similar to WSU in size and scope (e.g., a similar land-grant mission, or a veterinary school without a law school or a medical school). The libraries surveyed were drawn from members of the Association of American Universities (AAU), the Washington State Legislative Peer Set, and WSU's Global Challenge State Peers.

Surveys and follow-up interviews covered a broad range of collection development issues including details about administration, policies and procedures, the place of Interlibrary Loans in collection development, Big Deals, open access, textbooks, and open educational resources. Questions regarding collection funding sources, fees, and storage facilities were also covered.

This session will report on the surveys and interviews collected and show how they can inform collection managers' decision-making and collections strategy during a period of rapid change and tight budget times by providing details about how other academic libraries are handling assessments, Big Deal conversations, and journal cancellations.

Current Collection Development Strategies for Video
Collecting video content today poses challenges for the academic library. Diverse missions lead to very different collection development needs across academic libraries. Large research institutions may desire to collect for perpetuity, while smaller collections are often more curriculum-focused. Video collection strategies vary based on mission, budget, technological infrastructure, and other factors. Acquiring video content is complicated by the variety of formats and licensing options the academic librarian must take into consideration. In this panel, academic librarians who collect video content will discuss collecting to support research now and in the future, collecting to support curricular needs, and collaboration between institutions for cooperative collection decisions. We will discuss our strategies for maximizing budgets and address the philosophy of access versus ownership. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide additional ideas for ways that librarians can enhance and improve video acquisition.

Digital Research Practices: The Real User Experience: A Collaborative Library/Publisher Initiative
The last decade has seen rapid growth in the amount of information available online. For the academic community, this explosion of content has significantly changed the way students and researchers alike find and use information. Having access to digital information - and understanding how best to use that information - is particularly crucial to postgraduate students starting new research projects.

In order to better understand how students use information in their research, Loughborough University and Taylor & Francis Group undertook a joint project to capture the PhD research student's User Experience (UX). Over the course of 12 months, 10 research students from Loughborough University kept diaries and attended focus groups where their views, experiences, and approaches to using information were captured. Their experience with scholarly communication was a significant focus of these activities, along with evaluating different publisher platforms and reflecting on how Open Access and social media channels could be used to meet their research needs.

During this session, Graham Walton, Assistant Director for Academic and User Services at Loughborough University Library, and Stacy Stanislaw, Library Communications Manager at Taylor & Francis Group, will provide an overview of this collaborative project, discussing the idea that academic libraries and publishers can help improve the researcher experience in discovering and navigating online content. The session will also look at the process behind and results of this project, along with lessons learned and insights gathered into the real User eXperience. Finally, the presentation will include time for questions and feedback from the audience on the project.

From the Concept to Results: A Case Study on the Collection Development for the ODC - Opening Day Collection at Qatar National Library
"A library collection should fit the mission for which it is created. The number of books it holds does not determine its worth." (E. J. Loveland, 2000)

If so, how do we create a National Library and how do we build its collection from scratch? Since 2012, when the plans for the new national library were announced, Qatar National Library (QNL) envisioned as carrying out its mission to: "spread knowledge, nurture imagination, cultivate creativity, and preserve the nation's heritage for future generations."

This presentation will focus on the 3 years' experience of selection, acquisition, and processing of library materials, in a perspective of achieving the Opening Day Collection. We would like to share a preliminary outcome of building a library collection in Arabic, English, and other languages in record time; facing challenges in negotiations (long-term vendors and single sources), logistics (building a library collection without a building), and business culture (visions, working style in a Middle East Business culture/context). We will discuss our various acquisition methods (i.e., blanket and firm orders, donations, gifts and exchanges, Spot purchases from Book Fairs, personal contacts, etc.), highlighting both the challenges and the rewards. General statistics and timelines will be provided to elucidate the intended target and achievements to date. The systems used to support this mission are also highlighted with details enough but not to compromise aspects necessary for future significant milestone reports of QNL. It is expected that the QNL acquisitions program will more than meet its intended targets for the ODC.

Attendees should come away with an understanding of the issues and processes related to the acquisitions of international materials. In addition, we hope to generate a discussion with the audience about alternative experiences and processes in creating a library collection from the scratch.

Moving Altmetrics Mainstream: How to Bring Recommended Practice into Reality
The National Information Standards Organization (NISO) has published final recommendations regarding alternative metrics that have been developed over the past two years. Publishing these recommendations is only the beginning of the process. To be truly successful, these recommendations need to be adopted into practice. During this talk, Todd will discuss those definitions, the recommendations, and the new altmetrics data quality code of conduct. These publications serve as a point to push forward adoption and next steps to further advance acceptance of new forms of metrics and assessment of new forms of communicating information. Finally, consideration will be given in areas of work that the community still has before us, and audience input will be solicited to create further discussion.

Shotgun Sessions: Collection Development Analysis & Assessment and Discovery of Collections Threads
These short “pecha kucha-like” sessions will feature 5 PowerPoint presentations of 6 minutes and 40 seconds each. We will have time at the end of the session intended for Q&A for all presenters. Come for a lively, rapid-fire group of talks.

1. Retention Modeling for the Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST) (Anna Perrici)

How do you get 40 diverse libraries to agree on a model for shared print retention in 8 weeks? This lively overview will demonstrate the process of forming and refining such a model for retention of monographs, using collection analysis and visualization software. The Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust (EAST) is a partnership of 48 academic libraries, 40 of which are committing to retain titles on behalf of all EAST members for a minimum of 15 years.  EAST seeks to maintain access to the scholarly record through sustained cooperation between partner libraries.  

Hear how the project team worked with partner libraries, the vendor for collection analysis software (Sustainable Collection Services), working group members and EAST governance to refine and adopt a model for retaining over 6 million scholarly monographs. The key elements of the final model will be covered as well major lessons learned.

When this proposal was written the collection analysis project had just transitioned to the retention allocation and commitment phase.  More details and specifics on lessons learned will be available by the time this shotgun sessions occurs.

2. The Past is Prologue:   What 50 Years of History can tell us about the Future of Collection Development (David Sharp) 

This shotgun session will handpick a collection of eighteen of the most informative, peculiar, and self-evident insights that I learned during my sabbatical leave.  I reviewed five decades worth of collection development history, data and practice at Carleton University Library (Ottawa, Canada).  In the process,  I discovered things about both the distant and recent past that might help prepare us for some of the challenges of the future.     

Topics of discussion will include inflation, exchange rates, staffing, the perception and reality of tough economic times, why you should care about furniture budget, austerity versus fiscal stimulus, the unabated growth of e-resources, transparency and assessment, user-centered collection development models, audits, and more.  

The presentation will combine easy-to-interpret visuals with clear talking points to covey its information.  It will be of interest to library staff, who can generalize from Carleton's history and can import the lessons to be had to their own institutions; and of interest to vendors and publishers, who can take in a six minute "long view" of a university library and the challenges it has and will continue to face.
 
3. Validation Sample Study for Shared Print Collection - Is It There? (Gwen Verkuilen-Chevalier)

The Eastern Academic Scholars' Trust Shared Print project conducted a Validation Study in the spring of 2016 to determine an "availability metric" and average condition of circulating print materials in the 40 retention partner libraries.  This talk will cover the methodology and results of this validation study, how it played into the retention model being used by EAST, and touch on how Google App Scripts was used to create a front end to Google Sheets for a live data collection tool and administrative dashboard. 

4. Know Your Collections! : Rebuilding a Discovery Service and an Open URL Resolver (Judith Nagata) 

Building and maintaining a library collection is only valuable if the students, faculty, and staff can find and use those resources. Therefore, maintenance of discovery services is an integral part of the daily workflow of acquisitions, collection maintenance, and assessment. Access to collections is lost when either collection or discovery services management falters.  This session will demonstrate how a medium-sized academic library with limited library staff rebuilt both their discovery service and their open url resolver. Discussion will include the importance of both selecting appropriate search and retrieval metadata as well as including the correct collections (at a title level) for full text access. It also will provide information on the decision making process that made the project manageable and possible to complete in seven months. 

5. Everything I want to say about Open Access in 6 minutes 40 seconds (John Dove) 

In June of last year I jumped head-long into the world of Open Access. I've watched from the sidelines these past several decades. I come from a family with three generations of academics across STEM, Social Sciences and Humanities. I have real passion for seeing the results of scholarship be freely available to all of society without limitations. In 6 minutes and 40 seconds I'm going to share with you what I've learned about the current state of Open Access and what I think the path forward is to accomplishing some of the benefits of open access in my lifetime.

Social Scholarship?: Academic Communications in the Digital Age
Scholars and scientists today are urged to build online identities, to promote their work on social media, and to track its impact via altmetrics. So too is academic writing seen as a social location, or a place for interaction on work at its different stages (as in "versioning," or the public composition of an article or book). Indeed, new projects for the design of innovative digital publishing formats, including those sponsored by the Mellon Foundation, are promoting such a social, collaborative, or participatory approach to complement the introduction of multi-media into scholarly monographs. But not all scholars and scientists, however much they welcome open access publishing and opportunities for networking, are enthusiastic about social scholarship. Some favor the durability of traditional academic habits and others note the limits of interest, particularly in science, for online conversation about research across many platforms. And there is anxiety too about the role of social media in faculty evaluation. This session will offer first an account of competing positions on social scholarship, aimed at helping participants see different views of our digital situation and future. Participants will then be invited to consider the extent to which scholarship can be fruitfully social, and the meanings of social scholarship for academic libraries, in these and other activities: designing and managing institutional repositories, guiding the faculty in the uses of bibliographic management software and altmetrics, evaluating emerging e-publishing initiatives featuring their social dimensions, and exploring prospects for library publishing itself.

Wrangling Services Contracts in Libraries
When librarians speak of negotiating contracts, they usually are referring to licensed electronic resources, negotiating terms as advised in the Center for Research Libraries' LibLicense Model and other best practices. Comparatively overlooked in librarians' conversations about licensing are memberships and service agreements. The objective of this session is to tackle an essential but often overlooked element of collections management: wrangling contracted services, be they consortial memberships, hosting agreements, outsourced work, proxy solutions, or any of the myriad other services that libraries may contract out to support collections and discovery. Service agreements pose a dramatically different set of concerns and priorities from the usual concerns, such as perpetual access and ILL rights, which dominate library literature about licensing. Few of us would think to reduce liability by striking "membership" and writing "participation agreement" in its place. Even fewer would think to steer clear of allusions to "consortium," as the term has legal meaning distinct from its use in library parlance. Attendees will engage with the presenter and with one another not only through Q&A but also through extemporaneous workshopping of key questions about best practices. Attendees will leave this session with a clearer understanding of how to maximize value on investment and limit jeopardy on contracted services delivered to their organizations.

You Set the Scene: Three Faculty-centered Approaches to Digital Publishing from Mellon's 2014-2015 Scholarly Communications Initiative
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's 2014-2015 Scholarly Communications Initiative funded more than 13 projects of various sizes and orientations as part of an effort to strengthen the scholarly monograph publishing ecosystem in a time of increasing disruption. It has not always been obvious to onlookers if or how the projects funded by this experiment will ultimately connect, but a recent report from Simon Fraser University ("Reassembling Scholarly Communications: An Evaluation of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's Monograph Initiative," May 2016) helps to clarify points of thematic alignment, overlap, and divergence among them. While many of the funded projects are explicitly based in university presses (with the goal of either enhancing existing monograph programs or developing digital capacity where little or none exists), three projects (those at Brown, the University of Connecticut, and the University of Illinois) are instead focused on developing digital publication capacity for faculty outside of the traditional press framework. The "You Set the Scene" session brings together members from each of these three projects to investigate unique and complementary dimensions of their work. The audience will learn about developing project outcomes and encouraged to participate in discussion related to large-scale shifts in structural and cultural approaches to faculty-led digital scholarship production and publication.

She will provide a few general remarks and will highlight why this year’s three presentations are all relevant to this year’s conference theme. Time will be left for lively discussion between speakers and session attendees.

After a few words of greeting by the hosts, Rittenhouse Book Distributors, Inc., Ramune Kubilius will provide a brief (traditional) annual update of interesting and noteworthy trends in the health publishing and health information sectors that occurred or were noticed since the 2015 conference.

David Parker and Taney Shondel of Alexander Street will share some insights on providing online medical / health video content, including some inherent challenges and opportunities provided by this medium.

A few years ago, it could be argued that “more is better”, but in times of tightened collection budgeting, libraries often need to make strategic collection decisions. G. Randall Watts will share highlights of “Life After “The Big Deal” (first presented in a 2016 Medical Library Association (MLA) conference poster presentation).

Health professional education is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary. How can libraries anticipate and address the information and resource needs for the curricula of these programs? Elizabeth Hinton and Susan Clark will share highlights of “Designing a Library Resource Module for an Interprofessional Curriculum” (highlighting their experience, first described in a 2016 MLA conference poster).

'Rolling With the Times' Together: The Consortium in Today's Libraries
The leaders of the Western NC Library Network (WNCLN), comprised of Appalachian State University, Western Carolina University and the University of NC at Asheville, recently received an LSTA grant from the State Library of NC to conduct strategic planning to explore the future of their consortial arrangement. WNCLN has the opportunity to explore some of the overarching questions that consortia face in order to strengthen and improve its 30-year collaboration.

As part of that planning process, WNCLN leaders will lead a discussion and invite audience input of best practices, big ideas, national trends, and future directions in academic library consortia.

Some topics they will address are:

  • Libraries have long ago established that more can be achieved by working together than alone. How can this core value be sustained in today's environment of rapid change in higher education, libraries, the publishing industry, and technology? 

  • How can consortia enable libraries to develop long-term strategies for managing print across institutional boundaries and to leverage digital resources collectively? 

  • How are consortia collaborate most effectively over the wide spectrum of library services (acquisition, licensing, organization, storage, publication, digitization, discovery, creation, expertise, access and more)? With so many opportunities to collaborate, how does a consortium go about establishing its priorities?

  • In an environment of so many national, regional, and local consortia, how can so many collaborations successfully co-exist? How can we create environment of connections rather than competition?

  • How can effective consortial agreements be achieved with vendors in an environment where common goals are harder to establish and sustain?

Beyond Usage: Measuring the Value of Library Resources
Libraries and publishers rely more and more on usage data to evaluate content. However, there are other considerations beyond raw data; context is vital, and format and subject matter will be reflected in the numbers. This panel will present a range of perspectives and findings dealing with the challenges of usage analysis from a librarian at a large state university, a librarian from a small private university, a streaming video publisher, and a humanities aggregator. In libraries, COUNTER statistics reports play an important role in decisions but we'll also hear about the frustrations all libraries face in data analysis and the factors beyond just usage data that drive collection decisions. Libraries rely heavily on their discovery systems, but how can one measure the impact---good or bad---that a discovery system has on e-resource usage? How do existing metrics stack up for usage of non-traditional formats, and what are additional ways to consider the value of visual resources? How can publishers reconcile their goal of providing the best possible user experience with that of driving usage? This panel will encourage libraries and publishers to engage in a broader dialogue about measures of value. Bring your questions, tips, and experiences with usage data and join the conversation.

Bridging the Divide: Collaborating Across Departments to Improve Communication and Collections
Flat budgets, rising subscription rates, and the need to communicate the (bad) news to librarians and faculty are part of the academic library landscape. Additionally, our institution recently implemented Incentive Based Budgeting requiring financial transparency and demonstration of value to community stakeholders. Directors overseeing liaison librarians and collection management will share their perspectives on increasing collaborations across their respective departments in order to build a line of communication between their departments. This presentation and discussion will focus on the venues and mechanisms that facilitate a culture of librarians sharing information across departments about financial realities within the libraries and university and promote cooperative decision-making in challenging times. At the authors’ institution the increased communication has resulted in:

• liaison librarians better understanding budget constraints, usage statistics and collection challenges such as weeding for growth;
• collections/acquisitions librarians respecting their liaisons librarian colleagues’ subject expertise and relationship with faculty;
• data-driven decision-making tempered by knowledge of disciplines and faculty needs.

Attendees will learn the approaches that worked to foster communication and collaboration between the departments and the challenges the presenters faced as they worked to build trust and respect between the two groups. Audience members will also be asked to answer the following questions and share their experiences and departmental structures so that participants may learn of other successful collaborations:

• What methods have you used to facilitate interdepartmental communications between subject liaisons and collection management?
• Can you share examples of interdepartmental decision-making for collection-related decisions?

Creating Subject Profiles: Combining the University's Academic Landscape with the Library Collection to Begin Conversations and Inform Future Based Decision Making
This presentation identifies the challenges faced and the strategies used to create this hybrid style document. By taking the concept of a traditional or standard collection development policy/statement in a different direction and enriching it with data curated from relevant sources, this subject profile style allows for interpreting the collection with a broader perspective. As a new Collection Strategist, collaborating with Subject Liaisons was part of this project. Preparing these documents was also a teachable moment for me, creating an opportunity for a deep dive into subject areas, collections and the users they serve. The content of these profiles was also intended to inform future decisions by the Collection Strategies Department and Library administration. A brief and concise subject profile could be the basis for conversations regarding materials selection as well being a point of departure for discussions regarding budgets, stakeholder needs and plans for physical library spaces.

How a New Library System Changed the Way We Think about Acquisitions and Collection Development
Franklin & Marshall College is a small undergraduate institution with a FTE of approximately 2,400 students. In the Summer of 2016 the library migrated to OCLC's Worldshare Management System (WMS). This change to a cloud-based library system gave us an opportunity to consider new ways of doing cataloging, circulation, and acquisitions. This presentation will primarily discuss the changes that were implemented to the allocation of funds for ordering materials and the impact of those changes, including the way we now approach collection development. Some Items that will be discussed:

Before WMS
  • The way materials had been ordered: 76 funds just for book purchases; departmental allocations with monthly budget reports; funds for librarians; a midyear reallocation of unspent funds; approval plans; and DDA for ebooks.

After WMS
  • The changes to the allocation structure will be discussed in detail: a smaller number of funds (16); no individual departmental allocations; 3 large book funds; one large fund for librarians; no midyear reallocation of funds; no monthly budget reports for departments.

We will also talk about the process that led us to consider these changes: new eyes looking at the acquisition process and the opportunity presented to us by WMS.

Initial assessment of the changes:
  • Feedback from faculty, librarians, staff (this was a radical change for some of our staff and users)
  • Is the new fund structure working?
  • Have the changes been beneficial to acquisitions workflows?
  • What's next?
  • Even fewer funds?
  • More subject-based approval plans?
  • More DDA or EBS plans for ebooks?

Discussion:
  • Sharing experiences with allocations, acquisitions workflows, and migration to new systems

How Do Libraries Make a Long Term, Substantial Commitment to Support OA Publishing?
Linked to "Rolling the Dice or Calculating a Bet? How to decide which OA project(s) to support," this session workshops a couple of related questions that bear on library operations in a possible future environment where most publications are open: 1) how do we model the transition of library budgets from purchasing content to supporting OA Publishing, and 2) OA as a collection development strategy--the practices of library collection development and management and the jobs associated with them and what they look like when most publications are OA. To prepare for the session, please see "Curating Collective Collections — Open Sesame: Collection Development at the Network Level", which appeared in the September 2016  (28:4, p. 87)  issue of Against the Grain.

How to Play a More Active Role in Digital Humanities Research
In this session, we will discuss some of the difficulties and opportunities ahead of libraries seeking to provide robust tools and data to support text data mining and the growing number of courses that focus on or utilize Digital Humanities tools in the course of research.

Digital Humanities as a discipline is growing and evolving - even while many institutions struggle to define what the field actually means in a general sense and to them directly. The potential for deepening and increasing the amount of scholarly research and publishing through Digital Humanities programs is incalculable, and yet the starting point for institutionalizing this practice on campus is often elusive.

Providing the means and methods for interrogating available content and datasets - including locally sourced content - continues to be challenging, not only from the practical standpoint but from the process standpoint, too. What part can and do libraries play in helping drive the evolution and adoption of Digital Humanities across a campus? Where do the lines of intersection between library and lecture hall exist? In what ways can the library represent even stronger institutional value through the provision of rich historical constant and the resources with which to dissect them in more contextual and scientific ways?

Attendees will leave with an idea of how other libraries are actively supporting digital scholarship in the humanities as well as inspiration for how they can play a more active role in DH research at their own institution.

Journey to the Center of a Digital Project: A Tour of Three New Tools for Next-Generation Digital Scholarship
As scholarship continues to go "digital," the urge to create new formats and broaden access has begun to trigger a series of changes to the bedrock of publishing business and infrastructure that will be needed to support this brave new world. How will authors and publishers understand their respective rights and responsibilities? How can publishers understand and communicate the costs associated with publishing long-form digital scholarship, often also made available Open Access, as well as traditional monographs? What platforms will be able to handle multi-modal works that may include a range of forms of media in addition to more traditional narrative forms?

In this interactive session, we will take the example of one new work of digital scholarship, A Mid-Republican House from Gabii, and use it as a case study to demonstrate these new tools in action from project initiation, through the process of forming it into a product ready for publication, considering its financial sustainability, and the final presentation format it will take.

The tools we will share, funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, include
the Model Publishing Contract for Digital Scholarship (Emory and Michigan), the AAUP Digital Monograph P+L Tool, and Fulcrum, a publishing platform built on the Hydra/Fedora framework to support source materials for monographs (University of Michigan Press).

Authors, digital scholarship librarians, and publishers, join us! In the session, we will welcome and encourage discussion and feedback on ways to make these tools most useful as new use cases continue to emerge.

Marketing Your Collections: Which Strategies Actually Work?
Having licensed or purchased those expensive electronic resources, you want to make sure that your students & faculty know about them -- but what's the best way to do so? Three similar-sized universities (Santa Clara University, the University of San Francisco, Loyola Marymount University) took on a comparative study with Springer Nature to explore the impact of proactive (having an event staffed by an expert from the vendor) versus indirect (email campaigns & digital signage) campaigns for a suite of Springer Nature products, with the third university changing nothing to act as a control group. We will discuss idea development, methodology, and findings to date - how use of the targeted Springer Nature products has been impacted by different kinds of marketing campaigns - as well as implications for marketing other kinds of electronic resources based on this prototype.

Moving from Reclaiming to Reclaimed: The Big Picture and a Case Study of a Trending Initiative
66% — that’s how many libraries claim space reclamation as a priority according to the early findings of a recent ProQuest survey. 55% of these libraries have spent the last five years or more focusing on space reclamation, putting our industry at an interesting crossroads: while many of our peers are in the planning stage, many others are in the thick of the redevelopment stage.

During this lively lunch, we’ll explore all aspects of this trending initiative, discussing the big picture presented by the findings of ProQuest’s survey, the specifics of what made space reclamation projects work—or not work—for a few individual libraries and what all of this means for users’ evolving expectations of the virtual experiences offered by their libraries. Through informal surveys and open-ended discussion questions inspired by the aforementioned survey's findings, we’ll facilitate continuation of a conversation that many librarians are having on a smaller scale. Attendees will leave with a better idea of how to introduce—or continue to strategically support—this space reclamation initiatives at their own libraries. Participation will be encouraged through online polls and surveys throughout the presentation.

Moving the Library: Bringing Resources to Students

In keeping with the theme of roll with the times, I propose a panel session describing the need to move the library by bringing library resources, and access to a librarian, into course management systems. I propose a panel session format. A community college librarian will speak on her experience as an embedded librarian, the creator of a one credit online course on information literacy, and marketing library resources in the CMS. A representative from Gale will speak on how to promote and market the library’s online resources in the CMS. A university librarian will speak on creating an online community in Blackboard and mention an online site that integrates library instruction materials into Canvas courses. Topics discussed will include LibGuides, links to streaming video collections, embedded librarian programs, creating online courses on information literacy, and developing a suite of online information literacy modules. The audience will be asked to share examples of ways they move the library’s resources to students. Participants will be asked to share responses to various questions via texting to an online poll.

Peer Review of Longform Scholarship, Now and Into the Future
This Lively Lunch Discussion will focus on the current and future state of peer review for long form scholarship in the humanities and social sciences. The launching off point for the discussion will be the recent publication of the Best Practices in Peer Review handbook, released this year by the Association of American University Presses (AAUP), which gives a snapshot of university press standards. After a presentation of the handbook and the role it can serve for current and newly developing presses, including those emerging from within university libraries, the panel will move on to discuss the value of this process in an ever-changing scholarly publishing eco-system. Donna Dixon will discuss how peer review has worked at the growing “open textbook” programs at universities, while Becky Brasington Clark will present on efforts to conduct peer review more openly.

Questions considered include: how do libraries see peer review? How might peer review change to accommodate new forms of scholarship, digital and otherwise? How can we best denote when a rigorous peer review process is in place?

Releasing Subject Liaisons into the Wild: Designing a Holistic Collection Development Approach
Library literature is replete with recommendations and examples of engaging subject liaisons in the research and curricular process by freeing them from traditional library collection-building duties. At the University of Virginia Library, a recent reorganization has resulted in the formation of a Collections Management Team to create a holistic, agile, and balanced approach to collections-related activities. This new approach to collection development and management was designed with the intent to reimagine and redirect a large number of "siloed" approval plans, re-envision interdisciplinary collection support, streamline "slip" plans through the development of new print and e-book PDA plans, and redesign the allocation models to maintain these new initiatives.

This session will provide insight into the processes and stages of designing a new approach to collection management at the University of Virginia Library. Presenters will discuss the process of creating new, interdisciplinary plans, planning for the financial allocations to support the new approaches, and perspectives from the Library's vendor collections consultant (ProQuest/Coutts). The presenters will share experiences and lessons-learned from the first year of this initiative and make suggestions for others considering similar changes to their collection management strategies as academic libraries design new approaches to roll with the times.

Audience members will be invited to participate and discuss their experiences and priorities related to changing approaches to collection management.

Rolling the Dice: Betting on the Necessary KSA for Future Collection Development Librarians
Collection Development is a standard course taught in LIS programs across the country but without any real "standards" of what we should be teaching. This lunch discussion section will be facilitated by LIS educators and trainers who want to engage the audience in a thoughtful conversation about how we need to prepare librarians (through LIS programs and continuing education) to navigate the shifting landscape that is collection development. As new issues emerge in the field (ownership vs access, standing orders vs Evidence-Based Acquisitions models, etc), we need to re-evaluate the curriculum and decide what should stay and what should go. All stakeholders from content creators and providers to future librarians have a vested interest in making sure librarians are prepared to develop and maintain collections.

During the discussion audience members will be given notecards with collection development topics currently addressed in LIS education as well as blank notecards for the participants to add topics. After quickly touching on some of the issues, needs, and constraints we face as educators we will ask the participants to work at their tables on prioritizing content areas and then opening those up to discussion by the larger group. The attendees will be able to identify and prioritize which knowledge, skills, and abilities collection development librarians need. Their feedback will be incorporated into the curriculum used by the presenters and shared with other LIS educators in the hope of collaboratively shaping the future of LIS education.

Straight to the Source: A Student Panel on Ebook Usage
In 2008, we started tracking ebook usage trends via a global student survey designed to help us better understand how students use their library's resources. We ran the survey again in 2011 and most recently in 2016, receiving over 15,150 total responses. Now, armed with the survey findings and a panel of students ready to talk about their experience with ebooks, we're ready to discuss the trends we found in our data and what they mean for your library,

During this panel discussion, we'll not only share our survey results but talk straight with the source - the undergraduate and graduate students who come to you for research guidance - about their own experiences with ebooks and how that compares with our findings. Your questions will be answered, your assumptions will be confirmed - or disproved - and you'll leave with actionable insight that will guide your ebook acquisition strategy and the services you offer your users.
