This work emerges after detailed revisions following peer-review and open consultation earlier in the year. Today's published version includes points for publishing organisations as well as those who purchase, or pay for, or invest in scholarly publishing. For those seeking a short version, pages 6 and 7 of the recommendations PDF gives a 2-page overview. Accompanying the release of OASPA's recommended practices is a summary of what we changed and why . Meanwhile, an enriched listing of inclusive OA practices has been published as a dedicated collection of examples . The release of these resources is not a destination, but a milestone along a journey. To discuss this work further, and help us formulate next steps, we invite you to an interactive feedback and Q&A session about these recommended practices on Weds, 15th January 2025. This is open to OASPA members and supporters - please *register for this online event here * . Do share this work widely, and let us know what you think. Comments are welcome - either on the blog , or feel free to email us with thoughts, criticisms, questions, as well as new types of examples of inclusive OA practices.

Join us for two days of interactive sessions addressing some of the biggest issues and trends in scholarly communications: - Research integrity is at the forefront of many of our minds as the community works to combat growing levels of fraud and the rapid spread of disinformation. At NISO Plus, speakers will explore how to better support research integrity, including verifying researcher identity, communicating retraction information to users, and the adoption of research stacks. - User access, privacy, and cybersecurity are covered in sessions on Seamless Access, upcoming browser changes, protecting patron privacy, and maintaining the delicate balance between ensuring broad access and keeping systems and data secure. - Open research and open access remain topics for discussion and debate in sessions covering OA models (and how best to evaluate them) and user metrics for OA content. The program also features sessions on open data repositories and the global community?s need for more equitable OA models and structures. - Artificial intelligence?its use and impact as well as related ethical concerns?will also figure prominently in the NISO Plus Baltimore program. Speakers will share highlights from a report on how generative AI technology is currently used in higher education, explore best practices for transparency in the use of AI, and provide case studies on using AI to enhance metadata and discoverability. - In the tradition of NISO Plus, participants can also attend our NISO standards updates, in which they?ll hear the latest from NISO committee members on current projects like Open Access Business Processes and Accessibility Remediation Metadata. Additional program highlights include an opening keynote from Cindy Hohl , director of operations and policy analysis at the Kansas City Library and president of the American Library Association, on ?The Human Standard: Equal Library Access for All.? Our annual awards luncheon will recognize outstanding service to the information community and introduce participants to the 2025 NISO Scholarship Awards cohort. Finally, the February 10 pre-conference program includes a pre-conference on AI tools and use cases and a workshop on developing best practices and guidelines for assessing the performance of OA eBooks. And for the first time, JATS-Con, the user conference for the Journal Article Tag Suite standard, will also be held as a full-day pre-conference. Discounts are available for NISO members and groups , and thanks to our generous sponsors?Bowker , CHORUS , EBSCO , OpenAthens , Project MUSE , and Silverchair ?deeper discounts are available for retirees, students, and anyone currently unemployed. Remember to register by January 10 for early bird rates, and book your hotel room soon!

He has the concrete print book loan stats, instruction stats, and gate counts so far, and would like something similar for the electronic resources. I told him that usage numbers are a little different for the electronic resources, because during those years, we had various factors. JSTOR offered free COVID access to their resources, EBSCO started to offer COUNTER stats (so I switched from their in-house to COUNTER), also we have access to many databases through our consortium. Some of the journals changed from P to E during those years. OverDrive books don't even use COUNTER. Have any of you had experience with something like this? What numbers (or criteria) do you include? What measures do you consider for an overview? Thank you in advance, Chris -- H.

I used to report site searches but that is hard to define and I only track that internally now and stopped reporting that up. So those are 4 big numbers that I like to see as a director. I label the stats: ebook chapters read, Downloads of full text articles, Multimedia or POC tools used [POC=point of care], and Views of managed library web pages. When I was a ERL, I would also report any databases that were low producing (low use, high cost per use, etc) that should be on a watch list or publicized to increase use.

However, I was wondering if you submit ACRL or IPEDS annual statistics? If so, the ACRL lines: 60A: Total E-book and E-media Usage and 61B: E-Serials Usage, could be used from every year: 2020-2024. Note that "database" usage is not collected (Abstract & Index only, as one example). Even with ACRL or IPEDS, the usage data depends entirely on the resources and changes over those years. I let everyone know that usage data is useful in the aggregate, not in specificity (unless we are looking at a specific title's renewal). If you do not report ACRL or IPEDS annual data, I recommend that you choose from the usage data you have collected for 2020-2024 and show trends. As Hal Bright recommended, break it down into big areas (databases, ejournals, ebooks, streaming media) and get a number for each. I think reporting at a journal package, title or lower level would be very hard. You'd spend a lot of time explaining why (like you mentioned: COVID years free resources) usage changed for a particular vendor, package or database.

I regularly collect usage stats for IPEDS and ACRL. Also I collect and track before the renewal time of databases and journals. I do COUNTER 5 total item investigation for databases (to include abstract databases). To track cost per usage, I collect unique item requests for journal titles. For resources that do not use COUNTER, I look up view and check out stats. However, my original question was specifically for the idea of ?snapshot? because our director wants one (single) number to include everything. I tried to explain how electronic resources usage number is different than other usage numbers, he insists. So I was wondering if other libraries were doing something similar, and how, if so.

She will receive her award and deliver the 2025 Miles Conrad Lecture virtually during the NISO Plus Baltimore conference at 3:15 pm EST on Wednesday, February 12, 2025. Prior to founding DAIR, Dr. Timnit Gebru was co-lead of the Ethical AI research team at Google, where she was fired in December 2020 after raising issues of discrimination in the workplace. Timnit also co-founded Black in AI , a nonprofit that works to increase the presence, inclusion, visibility and health of Black people in the field of AI, and is on the board of AddisCoder , a nonprofit dedicated to teaching algorithms and computer programming to Ethiopian and Jamaican high school students. She has received a number of accolades, including being named one of Nature?s Ten people who helped shape science and one of TIME 100?s most influential people . She is currently writing The View from Somewhere, a memoir + manifesto arguing for a technological future that serves our communities instead of one that is used for surveillance, warfare, and the centralization of power by Silicon Valley. Dr. Gebru holds a bachelor?s, master?s, and PhD in electrical engineering from Stanford University. ?We are honored to have Dr. Gebru deliver this year?s Miles Conrad Lecture,? said Jason Griffey, NISO?s Director of Strategic Initiatives. ?The award recognizes her critical work on the dangers of biases in AI as the information community grapples with ethics and rapidly advancing technologies. We look forward to hearing her views about the opportunities and risks inherent in the use of AI in an imperfect world.?

Hood www.acquisitionsinstitute.org Greetings! We're excited to announce the call for proposals for AITL 2025: our small, informal, and stimulating gathering in a convivial and glorious Pacific Northwest setting, focused on the methods and innovation of building and managing library collections. Additionally, to help attendees budget and plan for AITL 2025 we have updated the cost estimates on our website. Last year, the AITL organization operated at a financial loss to run the conference. While we wish we could maintain our pricing from previous years, inflation has increased the cost for all services related to the institute. We are increasing our registration rates to ensure that we are able to offer a high-quality institute for years to come. Please see the "Costs" section on our FAQ webpage for transparency of costs and ballpark costs for lodging. For the 2025 conference, registration (including all meals) is $675. Discounted presenter registration is $475. Cost saving strategies: * Book alternative lodging and travel to the Lodge each day. Although the "experience" of staying at the Lodge is unique and special, we take pride in the high quality of presentations as the major value of our conference. In the past, self-organized carpools have offered a positive experience for attendees not staying at the Timberline Lodge. Rates for the Best Western in Government Camp are generally lower than those at the Lodge. If you do choose to stay down the mountain at Government Camp, be prepared for the six-mile winding mountain road each way. * Conference room share. We understand the appeal of having your own room, but sharing lodging cuts costs, and we always try to match individuals looking for room shares. As always, we value the engagement and participation of our attendees and look forward to your continued interest! Please read on for the call for proposals. Proposals due December 30, 2024. 2025 proposal submission form WHAT IS The Acquisitions Institute? * Since 2000, the pre-eminent conference located in Western North America on acquisitions and collection development, held at Timberline Lodge. * A three-day conference focusing on the methods and innovation of building and managing library collections. * A small (capped at 80 attendees), informal and stimulating gathering in a convivial and glorious Pacific Northwest setting. WHAT TOPICS are we looking for? The planning committee is seeking submissions on all aspects of library acquisitions and collection management. Presenters are encouraged to engage the audience in discussion, whether the presentation leans more toward the practical "here's what we did" sessions or toward the more abstract "here's what we think" sessions. The committee may also seek to achieve balance in the program by bringing individual proposals together to form panels, or by recommending that a proposal be converted to a table talk. We invite you to indicate whether or not you'd be interested in these opportunities on the submission proposal form. Topics we and/or prior year's attendees are interested in include (in no particular order): * Assessment tools, methods, and projects (e.g., linking collections with learning outcomes; usage studies) * Collection strategies including new models for selection and managing liaison programs * Government, special, and academic library perspectives in acquisitions and collection development * Sustainable models for publishing/pricing * Effective management of collections with constrained resources * Vendor and publisher evaluation, including business skills to determine financial viability * Diversity, inclusion, representation, and social justice in acquisitions and collections * Negotiation skills and how to use them, including during library-vendor and library-publisher meetings * Innovative vendor-librarian relationships and/or partnerships * Staffing, training and development, and recruiting issues, challenges, successes (e.g., onboarding new acquisitions and/or collections staff) * Using data visualization techniques to tell our stories (e.g., budget, collections, staff successes, etc.) * Impacts of Open initiatives on acquisitions and collection development * Data curation, including Big Data, and management and other new roles for subject and technical services librarians * How Generative AI impacts our work The DEADLINE for submitting a proposal is December 30, 2024. NOTE: Maximum of three presenters per proposal. Please use our 2025 proposal submission form. COVID-19 Policy: In the interest of keeping everyone safe, the Institute will adhere to local, state, and federal health and safety protocols related to COVID-19.

Core Web Course: Fundamentals of Cataloging This 6-week online course is a basic primer for library cataloging concepts and practices. It covers: - principles underlying cataloging practice; - examples illustrating the principles in practice; - tools used in cataloging practice such as AACR2, RDA, Library of Congress Subject Headings, Library of Congress Classification, MARC, OCLC, BIBFRAME; - processes used by catalogers in creating bibliographic records. Fundamentals of Cataloging (FOC) begins with a discussion of how cataloging assists users in finding resources and of the value of standardization of practice. These foundations are then given practical grounding in the work of creating bibliographic descriptions, the process of subject analysis, and summarizing content utilizing classification. Standards such as MARC bibliographic and authority formats, Library of Congress Subject Headings and Library of Congress Classification are discussed. The shift in focus from format-based cataloging to entity-relationship model cataloging is taken from the FRBR foundation to the RDA practical application, with a final look at RDF triples and BIBFRAME. In all areas, the value of standards is illustrated and discussed. There is a heavy reliance on examples from actual practice throughout the course content. 2025 Sessions: This course is offered by Core several times each year.

Now, I take my phone off the wifi and test on my phone for "off campus" and after work, when I go home I test on a laptop off campus. ?Emily Ray Electronic Resources Librarian Thomas G.

What if there were a document out there that librarians could refer to or that had example language for explaining to folks who don't do ERM work why it's necessary, and summarizing ways this can be accomplished using the *institution's* resources?

We started using Mozilla VPN this year, which allows for up to five devices-enough to cover our whole staff-and is paid annually. The first year cost us $30 using a promotional code. Here?s the link for more details: Mozilla VPN. The service is browser-agnostic, so it doesn?t require using Firefox. Previously, we relied on free VPNs available in the Chrome Web Store and similar platforms. However, we found those to be slow, unreliable, and they raised some security concerns. So far, Mozilla VPN has worked very well for our needs. Best regards, Cody W.

(But I'm interested in learning about the capabilities of SmartBear and similar technologies to address this and other tasks!) My institution's robust telecommuting policy means that I don't currently feel obligated to use personal resources (beyond standard telework personal resources, e.g., Internet access) to test off-campus access because, as others have noted, even when I'm on campus, there are off-campus colleagues I can call on to help troubleshoot. I'll note, I do think that telecommuting is something to include in a hypothetical document outlining a variety of ways to make sure that ERLs can reasonably use company resources to test off-campus access! Even prior to the ongoing pandemic, I remember listserv conversations in which testing off-campus access was discussed as being something that supports e-resources librarians' work being suited to a schedule with telecommuting in it.

I am very intrigued! I can't help but notice that so many of the methods mentioned (which I also use!) involve using our own personal devices, money, and/or off-hours time. At least for me, it feels hard to articulate to others (i.e., higher ups) why regular access to a device with a *non*-campus IP address is an ongoing necessity of e-resources management. What if there were a document out there that librarians could refer to or that had example language for explaining to folks who don't do ERM work why it's necessary, and summarizing ways this can be accomplished using the *institution's* resources? Do folks think that could be useful in getting their institutions to help implement better solutions to this problem?

Years ago that solution was suggested by someone in our IT department, but he was talking about assigning that IP to the machine I normally use, which obviously would create more problems than it solved. Still, a dedicated troubleshooting computer sitting in a corner somewhere might be an option. Linda Linda J.

We started using Mozilla VPN this year, which allows for up to five devices-enough to cover our whole staff-and is paid annually. The first year cost us $30 using a promotional code. Here?s the link for more details: Mozilla VPN. The service is browser-agnostic, so it doesn?t require using Firefox. Previously, we relied on free VPNs available in the Chrome Web Store and similar platforms. However, we found those to be slow, unreliable, and they raised some security concerns. So far, Mozilla VPN has worked very well for our needs. Best regards, Cody W.

(But I'm interested in learning about the capabilities of SmartBear and similar technologies to address this and other tasks!) My institution's robust telecommuting policy means that I don't currently feel obligated to use personal resources (beyond standard telework personal resources, e.g., Internet access) to test off-campus access because, as others have noted, even when I'm on campus, there are off-campus colleagues I can call on to help troubleshoot. I'll note, I do think that telecommuting is something to include in a hypothetical document outlining a variety of ways to make sure that ERLs can reasonably use company resources to test off-campus access! Even prior to the ongoing pandemic, I remember listserv conversations in which testing off-campus access was discussed as being something that supports e-resources librarians' work being suited to a schedule with telecommuting in it.

Core Webinar: The Experimental Library: A Guide to Taking Risks Date: Tuesday, January 21, 2024 All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time. Description: Using techniques garnered from startups and quickly evolving technology companies, this webinar educates information professionals on using experimentation to make evidence-based decisions to advance innovative initiatives. The last five years have demonstrated that sticking with the status quo is not an option; instead, as the experiences of many libraries has shown, those that experiment are better positioned to adapt to rapidly changing environments and evolving user needs and behaviors. This webinar shows how to draw from new approaches and technologies to harness experimentation as a tool for testing ideas and responding to change. It borrows ideas and inspiration from the startup sector to teach you how to take a human-centered and design thinking-based perspective on problem solving. During the webinar, you will discover: - why experimentation is possible on any budget and can be undertaken by anyone at an organization; - ways to foster a culture of experimentation, which recognizes the importance of incorporating curiosity into work and daily life; - the distinctive characteristics of technology companies and startups that make them experimentative, and what libraries can learn from these sectors? techniques; - examples of experimentation from academic, public, and school libraries as well as non-library governmental settings; - the basics of design thinking, which plays a leading role in brainstorming; - guidance on employing IDEEA (Ideate, Design, Experiment, Engage, Assess) as a five-part process for trying out ideas by formulating prototypes; - how to engage users in testing to identify the pros and cons of a prototype; and - a concrete roadmap for bringing the culture and method of experimenting to your library, from understanding how to embrace failures in order to learn from them to acquiring the skills necessary to experiment, creating teams that thrive with experimentation, and communicating successfully around experiments. Learning outcomes: Upon completion of the webinar, attendees will be able to: - design experiments that prototype initiatives to inform decision making. - apply the IDEEA process to implement experiments and data gathering effortlessly. - be equipped to introduce experiments in their library successfully. - describe cultures of experimentation and demonstrate them in their library. Who should attend? Directors of academic and public libraries and emerging technology librarians. It will be delivered with libraries in mind but broad enough to appeal to audiences in organizations that intersects with libraries (library schools, vendors, private sector). Presenter: Cathryn M. Copper works at the intersection of libraries, architecture, and technology. As the Head of the Eberhard Zeidler Library at the University of Toronto, her current research explores technology and experimentation in libraries. She has spoken on the topic of experimentation at several national and international conferences including the Association of College & Research Libraries and SXSW EDU. Her talk on the use of artificial intelligence and augmented reality in libraries at SXSW EDU was featured as one of the "biggest and most pressing ideas." ***************** Registration fees for webinar: Core Member $57.67; ALA member: $71.10; Non-member $79.00 For additional information and access to registration links, please go to the following website: https://elearning.ala.org/local/catalog/view/product.php?productid=1316 Core webinars are recorded and registrants receive a link to the recording shortly following the live event.

The solution seems to be to ask the publisher to add your ezproxy IP address to the cloudflare site, even if your ezproxy is within the campus IP range that you already provided to the publisher.

How accessible is the library workplace? How do we develop empathy and create policies, spaces, and accommodation plans in concert with disabled individuals that are unique and flexible to the individual's needs without placing unintentional barriers and burdens on them? How can we ensure that we are creating a sustainably supportive and accessible workplace? Join us for a conversation addressing these questions and more.

A Core e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free. How to Register You must register your email address to subscribe to or access an electronic discussion list on ALA's Mailing List Service. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the list. Find instructions for subscribing and unsubscribing online.

Of the 22 providers I found licenses for, only four had language restricting AI use (Elsevier, IEEE, Springer Nature, and Wiley). You can see document with the specific license language here. This summarizes what I found for Springer Nature: * Four licenses were reviewed for Springer Nature. All four licenses include AI language, but there was no definition of AI in any of the licenses. Two of the licenses refer to an FAQ, but do not link to this FAQ. * All four licenses restrict using the content with any AI tool: Users cannot use the content to "update, change, revise, adapt, modify, translate, transform or create any derivative works," including with AI tools, nor can they use the content to train, directly or indirectly, any AI tool or system. * DEAL's license included the following language, note that the URL links out to a PDF without an FAQ: * To provide clarity and guidance for Member Institutions and Authorized Users, DEAL Operating Entity and Publisher agree to jointly monitor the legal and technological developments regarding artificial intelligence tools in relation to the use of Content during the Term of this Agreement, and align on such in a joint working group. The working group will discuss such developments, issue guidance with respect to specific use cases in a mutually agreed FAQ related to this Agreement (to be found at https://keeper.mpdl.mpg.de/f/ece56f1759ed4cc5902f/?dl=1) , and may mutually review and suggest revisions to the Agreement in relation to the use of artificial intelligence. * UNL/UKB's license includes the following language. Note that the license did not include the FAQ: * The parties are aware of the recent developments in artificial intelligence. These have created, and continue to create, various questions around how artificial intelligence tools may be - or may not be - used in relation to copyrighted works, author rights, moral rights, personality rights, personal data, the integrity of existing scientific content as well as the creation of new scientific works. The challenges created by AI do not only affect the legal relationship between publishers and libraries, but affect also various other relationships and considerations, particularly for researchers both as authors and as users, which need to become aware of the implications when using AI. Considering this, the parties have discussed and agreed to the foregoing in light of the current legal and technological developments at the signing date of this License Agreement. The parties agree that at this point in time, many questions around the use of artificial intelligence still need to be answered. Key questions may need to be addressed primarily in planned legislation. Therefore, the parties agree to jointly monitor the legal and technological developments regarding artificial intelligence tools in relation to the use of Content during the Term of this License Agreement, discuss such developments, issue guidance with respect to specific use cases in a FAQ related to this License Agreement, and may mutually review and revise the License Agreement in relation to use of artificial intelligence in the future, considering the interests of all involved, including publishers, libraries and the research communities. This Section 4 shall survive any expiration or termination of this License Agreement, howsoever arising. I hope this helps!

Years ago that solution was suggested by someone in our IT department, but he was talking about assigning that IP to the machine I normally use, which obviously would create more problems than it solved.

We started using Mozilla VPN this year, which allows for up to five devices-enough to cover our whole staff-and is paid annually. The first year cost us $30 using a promotional code. Here?s the link for more details: Mozilla VPN. The service is browser-agnostic, so it doesn?t require using Firefox. Previously, we relied on free VPNs available in the Chrome Web Store and similar platforms. However, we found those to be slow, unreliable, and they raised some security concerns. So far, Mozilla VPN has worked very well for our needs. Best regards, Cody W.

(But I'm interested in learning about the capabilities of SmartBear and similar technologies to address this and other tasks!) My institution's robust telecommuting policy means that I don't currently feel obligated to use personal resources (beyond standard telework personal resources, e.g., Internet access) to test off-campus access because, as others have noted, even when I'm on campus, there are off-campus colleagues I can call on to help troubleshoot. I'll note, I do think that telecommuting is something to include in a hypothetical document outlining a variety of ways to make sure that ERLs can reasonably use company resources to test off-campus access! Even prior to the ongoing pandemic, I remember listserv conversations in which testing off-campus access was discussed as being something that supports e-resources librarians' work being suited to a schedule with telecommuting in it.

Core Webinar: The Experimental Library: A Guide to Taking Risks Date: Tuesday, January 21, 2024 All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time. Description: Using techniques garnered from startups and quickly evolving technology companies, this webinar educates information professionals on using experimentation to make evidence-based decisions to advance innovative initiatives. The last five years have demonstrated that sticking with the status quo is not an option; instead, as the experiences of many libraries has shown, those that experiment are better positioned to adapt to rapidly changing environments and evolving user needs and behaviors. This webinar shows how to draw from new approaches and technologies to harness experimentation as a tool for testing ideas and responding to change. It borrows ideas and inspiration from the startup sector to teach you how to take a human-centered and design thinking-based perspective on problem solving. During the webinar, you will discover: - why experimentation is possible on any budget and can be undertaken by anyone at an organization; - ways to foster a culture of experimentation, which recognizes the importance of incorporating curiosity into work and daily life; - the distinctive characteristics of technology companies and startups that make them experimentative, and what libraries can learn from these sectors? techniques; - examples of experimentation from academic, public, and school libraries as well as non-library governmental settings; - the basics of design thinking, which plays a leading role in brainstorming; - guidance on employing IDEEA (Ideate, Design, Experiment, Engage, Assess) as a five-part process for trying out ideas by formulating prototypes; - how to engage users in testing to identify the pros and cons of a prototype; and - a concrete roadmap for bringing the culture and method of experimenting to your library, from understanding how to embrace failures in order to learn from them to acquiring the skills necessary to experiment, creating teams that thrive with experimentation, and communicating successfully around experiments. Learning outcomes: Upon completion of the webinar, attendees will be able to: - design experiments that prototype initiatives to inform decision making. - apply the IDEEA process to implement experiments and data gathering effortlessly. - be equipped to introduce experiments in their library successfully. - describe cultures of experimentation and demonstrate them in their library. Who should attend? Directors of academic and public libraries and emerging technology librarians. It will be delivered with libraries in mind but broad enough to appeal to audiences in organizations that intersects with libraries (library schools, vendors, private sector). Presenter: Cathryn M. Copper works at the intersection of libraries, architecture, and technology. As the Head of the Eberhard Zeidler Library at the University of Toronto, her current research explores technology and experimentation in libraries. She has spoken on the topic of experimentation at several national and international conferences including the Association of College & Research Libraries and SXSW EDU. Her talk on the use of artificial intelligence and augmented reality in libraries at SXSW EDU was featured as one of the "biggest and most pressing ideas." ***************** Registration fees for webinar: Core Member $57.67; ALA member: $71.10; Non-member $79.00 For additional information and access to registration links, please go to the following website: https://elearning.ala.org/local/catalog/view/product.php?productid=1316 Core webinars are recorded and registrants receive a link to the recording shortly following the live event.

Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" We had issues with any publishers who use Cloudflare via ezproxy. The solution seems to be to ask the publisher to add your ezproxy IP address to the cloudflare site, even if your ezproxy is within the campus IP range that you already provided to the publisher. OCLC support also said that you need to add your proxy?ed domains to cloudflare, but we have found that to be unnecessary.

This document guided our negotiations with vendors that added AI clauses to their licenses for 2025. Our university Legal Counsel advised us throughout the process as it took some time and several rounds of revisions to reach a consensus.

Hi Jackie, We have had a vendor come back to us with an AI statement or clause in a contract (not remembering the vendor off the top of my head) I would say touch base with your dean, director of libraries or university librarian. Thats what we ended up doing to strike a balance with AI language in contracts. They may have a strategy about how to approach it. Ideally you wouldn't want that kind of restrictive language! Good luck ?

Core Web Course: Fundamentals of Acquisitions This 6-week course provides a basic primer for library acquisitions concepts common to all library material formats. Topics include: - Goals and methods of acquiring monographs and serials in all formats; - Theoretical foundations and workflows of basic acquisitions functions; - Financial management of library collections budgets; - Relationships among acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers. In this course, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials. In many libraries, selecting and acquiring materials may be done in the same department-in the smallest libraries perhaps even by the same person. In larger libraries, selection may be done by a collection development department and/or designated subject specialists, while a separate department acquires the selected materials. In essence, acquisitions is the business operation, bringing materials into the library and licensing access to library collections and resources. Because success in acquisitions depends on ability to collaborate, negotiate, and be flexible to work out win-win solutions with others, this course includes collaborative and social elements.
