<div dir="ltr">Thank you for bringing up this topic. I would love to say we have all our parameters spelled out in our collection policy, but our policy is lagging far behind actual practice. We have been putting collection dollars toward quite a few resources that support faculty and students only in specific departments, or for streaming video on limited occasions, and this has been happening for quite a while. For example, obviously our campus computing department pays for and supports the institution-wide courseware, but a different department on campus provides Endnote licensing, and the library pays for JoVE. Another example is Lynda training videos, which the library has paid for until just recently, when the price and access options exceeded the library's ability to manage and pay for it. So we have a real mix of what we're doing and not doing, but we need to update our policy so that we can determine reasonable limits. <div><br></div><div>Sorry I have no relevant snippets as originally requested, but will be interested in anything posted to the list.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div>Karen Jensen<br>Collection Development Officer<br>Rasmuson Library<br>University of Alaska Fairbanks<br></div>907-474-6695<br><div><a href="mailto:kljensen@alaska.edu" target="_blank">kljensen@alaska.edu</a></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1f497d">I am also very interested in this topic. I have had similar discussions with colleagues at a few institutions on foreign language learning software (e.g. Mango),
expensive streaming videos for specific courses, accounting software/content that only a few classes will use, etc. Although one can argue that the library supports the university’s mission of teaching and learning (and should buy and license the resources),
the library has to pick and choose resources and needs some sort of parameters to maintain their budget. I am wondering if anyone has made a distinction between content and tools (bad word because this can also cover discovery services) or research and learning
(also problematic) as part of their collection development policy?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<b>Subject:</b> [Eril-l] Collection Development policy statements around "canned courses"<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Good Morning,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many of our long time traditional vendors are beginning to offer “canned courses” as part of their product mix. Add in all the new vendors offering “educational content” and you
end up with a growing trickle of requests to license access to things that in the past were outside our domain. It’s increasingly difficult to know what is, and is not us. Some recorded lectures on DVD or streamed online, okay, sure we can do that. An online
canned course with readings, video lectures, exercises, and online quizzes….humm, is that library, College IT Services, college bookstore or the requestor’s department that would fulfill that request especially if institutional licensing is now available?
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m looking for collection development
<u>policy statements</u> that address this burgeoning marketplace of eLearning content. The statements can be, yes we do that; or no we don’t. Rather than a flood (I’m optimistic this is widely figured out) of links to collection development policies, snippets
of the relevant clauses would be most helpful.<u></u><u></u></p>
