</b>The UMass Amherst Libraries canceled our subscription to the Royal Society of Chemistry journal bundle in 2016, after years of unsustainable price increases. This presentation will cover both the decision making process and our ongoing collaborative project
to evaluate the impact of cancellation on faculty research, interlibrary loan use, and library-wide costs. This story is specific to UMass Amherst, but our methods for gathering patron feedback, comparing COUNTER usage statistics with Interlibrary Loan numbers,
and setting copyright and fees from other libraries alongside subscription costs can be adjusted for any library. (Kate Zdepski, University of Massachusetts, Amherst)<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span style="color:black">Electronic Resources at Rhode Island School of Design’s Fleet Library: Assessing and Balancing Community Needs<br>
</span></b>While every library examines and assesses the resources that it provides to its community of users, the assessment of electronic resources at an independent college of art and design (AICAD), especially one that often looks outside of AICAD for its
benchmarks, offers a unique experience for its team of librarians to provide online collections that best support existing and an increasing number of curricular programs. Housed in a renovated banking hall from 1917 on the National Register of Historic Places,
the Fleet Library at RISD offers faculty and students a tremendous sense of place in a richly inviting environment surrounded by physical holdings. It can come as a surprise, then, to learn of the electronic resources that the RISD library also provides: e-books,
for example, outnumber analog books and digital images provided via subscription stretch into the millions. This presentation will speak to these challenges through a description of how RISD evaluates its electronic resources, the decision-making process and
the persons involved, optimal and prohibitive pricing models, and provide some examples of deeper user engagement. (Mark Pompelia, Rhode Island School of Design)<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
