Negotiating these rights can be challenging, since each research project has different goals, methods, and content needs, and these needs may require agreements from multiple content providers. This presentation will describe two projects at the University of Notre Dame which required text mining negotiation with various vendors. The second half of the presentation will translate these experiences into recommendations on how to analyze text mining requests from faculty members, and will also include a list of resources for audience members to help them support such requests at their own institutions.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">A Continuum of Approaches to Managing Open Access Resources</div><div class="gmail_default">Robert Heaton, Electronic Collections Librarian, Utah State University, <a href="mailto:robert.heaton@usu.edu">robert.heaton@usu.edu</a></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">The Open Access movement strives to alleviate major world problems by making current, peer-reviewed research available to anyone with an Internet connection. But at the same time, it creates new problems for libraries, their collections, and their users: reduced quality assurance for content, new and complex business models, journal proliferation because of lower barriers to entry for small publishers, and questions of link rot and digital archiving. While librarians' grasp on Open Access issues is growing, practitioners are not always aware of the choices available for managing that area of their collections. This presentation presents a continuum—a graphical annotated bibliography—of approaches to managing Open Access collections, including strategies for collection management, resource assessment, user education, and vendor relations, with their accompanying tradeoffs of time, money, and ideological commitment.</div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Connecting Electronic Resource Use with Student Success</div><div class="gmail_default">Nathaniel King, Director of Library Services, Nevada State College, <a href="mailto:Nathaniel.King@nsc.edu">Nathaniel.King@nsc.edu</a></div><div class="gmail_default"><br></div><div class="gmail_default">Nevada State College is matching EZProxy log data with student data from its Office of Institutional Research. This collaboration allows them to determine electronic resource use patterns by academic level and discipline. They can also determine if library use correlates with proxies for student success. In this session, Nathaniel will present findings from his library’s first year of EZProxy log data and he will discuss the process for analyzing the data and outline future directions.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small"><br clear="all"></div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12px">--------------------------------------------------------------------------</span></div><div style="background-color:rgb(255,255,255)"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:12px">Martin L.
