*Introduction of Project Management in Technical Services*
Anastasia (Nastia) Guimaraes, Project Management Librarian
University of Notre Dame
Work in Technical Services of an academic library can differ greatly from
very individualized to team-based. Regardless of the nature of the task,
project management is a highly valuable and necessary skill to have. If you
are interested in learning about simple project management tools and
techniques to help organize you and your team better, come hear a project
management librarian from the University of Notre Dame share her experience
with introducing project management at Hesburgh Libraries. Project Charter,
Responsibility Assignment Matrix, and Stakeholder Management Plan are some
of the tools that will be covered in this brief presentation.

*Managing your DDA Spend Through Record De-duplication and Deactivation*
Elizabeth Miraglia, Assistant Program Director and Head, Books and Serials
Metadata
University of California, San Diego
UC San Diego participates in multiple DDA programs, some of which have
duplicate content. After a platform migration and the implementation of
several new patron-driven acquisition programs, we found ourselves with a
lot of duplicated content that had the potential to trigger unwanted DDA
purchases. However, given the volume of titles we needed more automated
ways to identify unwanted content to report to our vendor. The Metadata
Services department developed a method using OpenRefine to identify
duplicated content across its platforms and worked with the Acquisitions
department to create a streamlined workflow for deactivating this content
in the vendor platform. We wound up deactivating around $50,000 of unwanted
content. This presentation will outline the problems we encountered, the
workflow that we eventually created, and potential future uses and
improvements.

*Can a Database be Too Popular?: Managing the high costs of a high-demand
PDA streaming video collection*
Mary Gilbert, AUL for Content Management
Rick Davis, Copyright & Scholarly Communications Librarian
Towson University
Ease of use and runaway popularity, when combined with the pay-as-you-go
nature of PDA, can have negative and unintended consequences. This
discussion will examine our experience introducing a very popular PDA
streaming video service to our users; analyze mistakes we made setting up
and managing the profile; outline our responses, both successful and
unsuccessful, to the high costs we incurred; and offer ways to manage such
a program more effectively. Running a high-cost, popular streaming video
PDA collection is not easy, and we do not have all the answers. Instead, we
intend this session to be interactive, more of a conversation or dialogue
than a presentation, with all participants given the opportunity to share
their own ideas, suggestions, and experiences.
