> *This message is cross-posted.* > > Hello, all. You are cordially invited to attend the following ALA > Midwinter program sponsored by the ALA ALCTS Continuing Resources > Section College and Research Libraries Interest Group. > > ALCTS Continuing Resources Section College & Research Libraries > Interest Group Midwinter Meeting > Date: Sunday, 1/17/2010 > Time: 10:30 am -12:00 noon > Location: Westin Waterfront (WEST) - Burroughs > Program: > > 1. What to Withdraw? Print collections management in the wake of > digitization > Presenters : Roger C. Schonfeld, Manager of Research, Ithaka S+R; and > Ross Housewright, Analyst, Ithaka S+R > > As digitized journal backfile sets become available online, they > fulfill the lion's share of user access needs at academic libraries, > leading many librarians to call into question the need to retain > print. Can libraries securely reassign the stack space occupied by > decreasingly used print versions without risking preservation? This > talk will examine several key questions: Does print preservation still > matter, and if so, for how long will it remain a relevant priority? > What sort of preservation framework is needed for legacy print > collections? And, for which journals is this preservation framework > already in place, allowing for responsible withdrawal today? Drawing > from a report recently released by Ithaka S+R, this talk will conclude > with some remarks about how the set of materials appropriate for > withdrawal can be expanded to allow libraries additional flexibility > in their collections management. > > 2. To Have and to Hold: MARC Format Holdings Data > Presenter: Sandy Chen, Electronic Resources & Serials Management > Librarian, Clarion University of Pennsylvania > > The goal of the presentation is to describe the concepts behind and > importance of standardized holdings in library processes, > particularly, MARC Format for Holdings Data (MFHD) and Z39.71: what > they are, how they function, and how they help academic libraries to > serve patrons. Sandy will provide specific examples of challenges in > Clarion University of Pennsylvania Libraries' implementation of these > standards, along with descriptions of better practices that other > research libraries can use to represent holdings data. > > 3. Pay-Per-Use Article Delivery at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens > Point > Presenters: Mindy King, Serials Librarian, University of Wisconsin -- > Stevens Point Library; and Aaron Nichols, Access Services Librarian, > University of Wisconsin -- Stevens Point Library > > Exponentially increasing journal costs are a fact of life. Libraries > can no longer afford to purchase expensive, low use journals "just in > case" an article is needed. Recently, the University of Wisconsin - > Stevens Point Library conducted a pilot, pay-per-use article delivery > program that offered "just in time" access to articles our patrons > actually need. Pay-per-use article delivery requests are submitted by > completing a standard Interlibrary Loan request. Over a three month > period, pay-per-use users were surveyed regarding the convenience and > quality of the service. Positive survey results and feedback from > university faculty were used to cancel high cost/low use journals in > favor of the pay-per-use model, resulting in over $50,000 savings in > journals subscriptions. Cancellations are to begin January 2010, at > which time the survey will be reopened to gain feedback after the > print version is no longer available. > > 4.
