Re: Evaluating Digital Platforms

Ontario college libraries are working toward incorporating accessibility criteria into our procurement processes. In Ontario, we have legislation that requires that library eresources are made accessible by 2020. We have launched an initiative, the Library eResources Accessibility Project (LEAP), to develop a core set of criteria for our colleges to use for evaluation. Libraries can look to established standards like the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0<http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/> and Section 508<http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/communications-and-it/about-the-section-508-standards/section-508-standards>, or develop their own. We are hoping to make accessibility criteria a key part of platform evaluations.

If you have any feedback or questions, please let us know.

Thanks for sharing, Ann. The category, Availability and Access, leads me to another question (two, actually).

Does anyone have a list of criteria that you use when evaluating digital platforms? Long term availability and perpetual access rights is obviously a biggie, as would be compatibility with library ILS, use of interface, etc. We currently have OverDrive and 3M and will be comparing these with others on the market including Odilo, BilbioBoard, enki, Total Boox, and also Hoopla, Freegal (basically everything we don’t have).

And another question: Recently there was a discussion on one of these listservs regarding the migration of all digital content to one platform. Would the one who initially posed this question be willing to send me a summary of the responses you received?

Thanks much, and have a great week everyone!

Hi Bruce, and other ULC collection managers,
Here is what we’ve done at Ottawa PL.  This was put together by my predecessors and approved by our Board in April 2014, and is our guide through to 2016.
Hope it helps you formulate your own.
All the best,
Ann

Hi Everyone,

In 2002 KCLS put together a revised Collection Strategy and we are about to begin the process for revising it once again.  If any of you have a collection strategy document you are willing to share please send to the group.

Thanks.
