<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">In recent years, in addition to CPU, we have also looked at inflation factor, in order to target titles whose prices are increasing at an accelerated rate, as well as a subjective liaisons ranking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We do all of the data collection/compiling ourselves; a few years ago we asked our subject librarians to do some of the analysis themselves, and it was more trouble than it was worth.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Our final decisions are now made by the Collection Development department, but we rely heavily on the input from our liaisons and faculty. If they identify something as must have that we see as being questionable
due to cost concerns, it goes on an “endangered species” list and they are given a few years to promote its use to lower the CPU.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">We do ranking based on percentiles that compare each resource against a like resource. By converting each of our factors to percentiles, it enables us to create composite scores for ranking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Hi all-<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">We are reviewing how we go about asking our subject specialists to review and make cancellation/renewal decisions for our continuing resources. Currently, we provide each subject specialist
(annually) with a comprehensive spreadsheet of the continuing resources they manage (including title, format, cost), and we ask them to look up usage statistics in our ERM’s usage statistics module. We’re interested in hearing from folks about how continuing
resources are reviewed at their libraries. Here are some questions we are wrestling with to get you started:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">What data do you think is essential for this process? Is all the data needed compiled beforehand and presented together, or do you ask subject specialists to find or compile certain
data on their own? Does the final say on cancellations happen individually (each subject specialist) or from teams or from a small “collections management” group? Do you notify faculty of cancellations in advance, and if so how is that done? Do you use some
type of ranking system when deciding what to renew/cancel, and if so how did you implement this? And maybe most important how are you managing this (spreadsheets, database, Google)?<span style="color:#1F497D">
</span>We are especially interested in solutions that have made it easier/faster for subject specialists to identify “underperforming” or “less-essential” titles.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Feel free to contact us off list but I’m sure others on this list would interested in the conversation if you would like to share. Thanks in advance!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
