Call for Proposals! TERMS of Engagement: Managing Collections and Electronic Resources Lifecycles

What is it?

*         A free, one-day program hosted by ACRL New England Chapter's Collection Development Interest Group (CDIG) and Electronic Resources Management Interest Group (ERMIG)

*         Wednesday November 18, 2015, 10am-1pm, Sherrill Library, Lesley University, Cambridge, MA; free breakfast and registration 9:30-10am; optional dine-around lunch and networking 1-3pm



The 6 Techniques for Electronic Resource Management (TERMS) (https://library3.hud.ac.uk/blogs/terms/) give us a common language to share, explore, and evolve our work of acquiring and managing academic libraries' e-resource collections. Using TERMS as a program framework, ACRL NEC CDIG and ERMIG seek presentation topics of varying lengths around one or more of the 6 TERMS.

Possible presentation ideas include:


1.       Investigate Content for Purchase

*         Developing best practices for assessing the accessibility/usability of products

*         Tools for comparing similar products - overlap analyses, deciding between e-book platforms

*         Innovative ways to involve students and faculty in trials

2.       Acquiring New Content

*         Successes using SERU or the CRL model license

*         Getting OA or text-mining provisions into your license

*         Negotiation tips

3.       Implementation

*         New tricks to deal with access issues

*         Marketing ideas - spreading the word to different audiences

*         Getting the most out of trainers

4.       Ongoing Evaluation and Access

*         Impact factor projects

*         Tips for getting more out of COUNTER

*         Talking about downtime - how much, where, to who?

5.       Annual Review

*         Helping out the "at-risk" publications

*         Data visualization for usage stats and e-resource value

6.       Cancellation & Replacement Review

*         Breaking the news about a break-up to patrons, to vendors

*         Local hosting solutions to ensure post-cancellation access

We want your ideas about managing collections and electronic resources lifecycles.  We are looking for a wide range of presentations in length, format, and content.  You could propose a formal presentation of a project or workflow, or share preliminary sketches of a crazy idea you want feedback on.  Our goal is for this program to be a place for idea-sharing, for stories from the trenches, and for the fostering of future collaborations.
