Not everyone subscribes to the VIVA listserve, so I’ll share some information that was posted by Kathy Perry yesterday.  The DDA RFP committee has completed negotiations with EBL to provide Demand Driven Acquisitions for ebooks in Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine, & Health (STEM-H).  EBL is currently negotiating with publishers to participate in the program.  The VIVA plan will take precedence over our own DDA plan.  It will include short term loans, just as our plan does.  E-reserves and coursepacks will be available upon special request.  The addition of VIVA’s plan should only affect Collections and Technical Services:  we’ll work with YBP to eliminate EBL STEM-H DDA selections from our consideration pool, and load discovery records for the new EBL collections to Summon.  Ladd and Ed will attend the VIVA ‘training fair” in March, so more information about ebooks will be forthcoming.

CASH!

(Now that I have your attention…)

The Collections Access Strategies Hub (CASH) is meeting this coming Wednesday to discuss the first two of many key articles to be tackled by the group (citations and links provided below).  Each hub meeting will also include a Lightning Round Report where representatives from various units relay ongoing work and upcoming changes within respective units.  The purpose of the reports include filling communication gaps between units, departments, and other groups so that we might all better anticipate problems and plan for changes in workflows.  If you don’t have a rep in CASH and you’d like to pass along information to our group, please get in touch with me.

Approval Plan

As of January 30^th, consider the new policy of e-preferred approvals to be in full swing.  Ladd and Ed are working out details and getting answers to questions.  More information to follow soon.

VIVA

To quote directly from VIVA’s Kathy Perry, “VIVA’s hard work exploring STEM-H e-books has resulted in awarding contracts to Elsevier and Springer for 2013 frontlist e-books… As you know, VIVA received special funding from the General Assembly for the 2012-14 Biennium for e-books in the STEM-H subject areas.  VIVA can now confirm contracts for the Elsevier and Springer 2013 frontlist e-book packages and that all participating institutions have been activated for both Elsevier and Springer.”  At the local level we have made the necessary changes in our approval and DDA plans to reflect these new deals.

*WHO GETS WHAT THROUGH CENTRAL FUNDS?*

*PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS*:  All of the VIVA public institutions will have access to the following packages:

Elsevier – The entire SciVerse ScienceDirect eBooks Collection  2013

Frontlist:  http://www.info.sciverse.com/sciencedirect/books/ebooks

   Springer – 4 collections for the 2013 frontlist

Cooperative Collections
You’ve no doubt heard many mentions of the ASERL Print Journal Cooperative.  Now we have an additional partner:  the WRLC or Washington Research Library Consortia.  To understand how this partnership will work, ASERL will be holding a webinar next week.  Constance Malpas and Brian Lavoie of OCLC Research will provide an overview of how holdings at our member libraries would contribute to a mega-regional approach.  During the webinar, Constance and Brian will discuss an initial analysis of holdings at ASERL and WRLC libraries and how this could contribute to a mega-regional vision for national library print collections.  If you’d like to attend the webinar, it is listed on the library’s training events page.

Vet Med Library Collection

In case you haven’t heard, The College of Veterinary Medicine may be renovating spaces this summer and renovations will affect allotted space for the Vet Med Library. We’ll be looking at print and electronic journal overlap in this case, too, in order to help reduce the collections footprint from 25,000 volumes to between 15,000-18,000 volumes.  Expect more news as Brian, Leslie, and Vicki work with the architects and as we take a close look at the collection.

Journal Overlap Analysis

Analysis of overlap between print and electronic journals is moving along.  Most recently, we finished looking at the Oxford backfiles, and we are just one collection away from completing our overlap analysis for all the Taylor and Francis archives.

More next week… and until then, STAY WARM!

We now have nearly 9,000 discovery records in Addison and Summon for EBL e-books.   Patrons are browsing the titles, reading them online, and downloading portions of the books.  The title that was downloaded most often is: Completing college : rethinking institutional action (LC148 .T568 2012)

The 10 most-read titles are:

• Diagnosing and changing organizational culture (HD58.8.C32 2011)
• Parking cars in America, 1910-1945: a history (TL175.S44 2012)
• Reframing organizations: artistry, choice, and leadership (HD31,B6135 2008)
• Organizational network fieldbook: best practices, techniques, and exercises to drive organizational innovation and performance (HD69.S8O74 2010)
• Sex for sale: prostitution, pornography, and the sex industry (HQ115 .S49 2009)
• Conducting educational research design: what, why, and how (LB1028.38 M35 2012)
• Prostitution and sex work (HQ144.D58 2010)
• Handbook of college reading and study strategy research (LB2395.3.H36 2008)
• Architectural photography: composition, capture, and digital image processing (TR659)
• Forest products and wood science (TA419.S423 2011)

The next phase of the pilot will expand DDA to more vendors and more subject areas.  VIVA will be contracting for DDA services in spring 2013.

Collection Management and Technical Services have been working out the details for a demand-driven pilot project since last fall.  We’ve hosted webinars and vendor visits, conference calls and work flow meetings, and are finally ready to launch the pilot next week.  Below are some answers to some basic questions about the project.  More details will be distributed during implementation of the pilot.  Please address any specific questions about the project to Ladd, Leslie, Connie, or Ed.

WHAT IS DDA? DDA stands for demand driven acquisitions.  In our case, it involves loading e-book cataloging records (“discovery records”) into Summon and/or Addison.  We don’t actually own the titles until patron use triggers a purchase.

WHEN WILL THE PILOT PROJECT START? The first batch of discovery records will be shipped on July 16, 2012.

WHO IS THE VENDOR FOR DDA?  The primary vendor is EBL, who will supply books through YBP.  We are planning to set up another pilot with EBSCOHost.

WHAT TITLES WILL BE SELECTED FOR THE PILOT?  All GOBI e-slips for e-books in call numbers H, J, K, L & T will go into a “consideration pool” for DDA.  Not all publishers allow their titles to be eligible for DDA, so the pool is limited to DDA-eligible e-books.  In addition to current e-slip titles, YBP will load three years of retrospective imprints into the consideration pool.  We will have the opportunity to review the titles in the pool weekly and add or remove titles.

HOW ARE TITLES IN THE CONSIDERATION POOL PURCHASED?  The first official “use” of a title is treated as a “short term loan” or STL.  The library sets the threshold for the number of STLs allowed before a real purchase is triggered.  STLs are billed at 10-15% of the purchase price.  These configurations can be altered as we gain more experience.

WHAT QUALIFIES AS AN STL?  Browsing the table of contents or paging through the book is free.  After 5 minutes, the patron “checks out” the e-book for 7 days.  He or she has unlimited access to the title for the 7 day period.

HOW DOES DOWNLOADING WORK?  Just as with firm ordered or subscription based ebooks, downloading depends on the publisher specifications.  We’ll be distributing more information on publisher-specific downloading.

HOW WILL PATRONS DISCOVER DDA E-BOOKS?  The initial batch of DDA records will be put in Summon and Open URL linking will be enabled.  The intention is to make the records fully discoverable through Addison and Summon.
