*Electronic Peer Analysis in Collection DevelopmentPresenter: Jennifer
Matthews, Collection Strategy Librarian, Rowan UniversityAcademic libraries
need to consider how to evaluate their resources when comparing to peer and
aspirant institutions as more and more library resources are moving to a
strictly electronic realm. The tools available for print title comparisons
are not available for the same electronic study, making such a study labor
intensive. As budgets continue to be strictly maintained, and resources
continue to move to e-format, other methods of evaluation besides usage
statistics and cost-per-use analysis will need to be considered. Thought
must be given to how one electronic collection compares to another just as
it did with the print collection titles. As such, methods to develop these
tools, and support their creation, should be explored. This is one
e-primary institution’s journey to resolve this dilemma.From Just-in-Case
(JIC) to Research-Interest-Driven (RID) Collection Development in
International and Area Studies Collections in Research LibrariesPresenters:
Osman Celik, International Acquisitions Coordinator, The UCLA
LibraryRoxanne Peck, Head, Acquisitions Services, Penn State University
LibrariesGiven library-physical space, stewardship costs, and budgetary
constraints, it is imperative to find a sustainable collection development
method for international and area studies if research libraries continue to
further improve breadth and depth of such collections. Based on the
analysis of usage statistics of area studies collections, this study argues
that collection strategies for research libraries necessitate a critical
departure Just-in case - conventionally based on broader subject parameters
and profiles on various global regions - to a more user-centered approach.
The empirical testing and evaluation of the argument is designed to include
cataloging metadata, acquisitions, and access-related data at a research
library scale. In particular, the research design involves bibliographic
metadata of print monographs, acquisitions, and various usage statistics of
several area studies collections such as African, Eastern European/Slavic,
Middle East, Latin American, and Western European studies collections
acquired by the UCLA library between 2005-2016.*
