Academic Library Collections

Collection Development Trends
• Decreasing space• eBooks– DDA– POD
• Shrinking budgets• Emphasis on Discovery• Disaggregation,
unbundling• Greater collaboration
![Page 11: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Decreasing Collections Space
• Campus core too valuable– Less stack space
• Full storage facilities• Decreasing storage options
![Page 12: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

A Potential Solution
• eBooks/local POD helps with:– Space–Off-campus access– Searchability–Multi-user access– Satisfying different user needs (p vs e)
![Page 14: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Slow Transition to eBooks
• Lack of content• (Almost) no local POD options• Interface issues– Lack of ereader compatibility
![Page 15: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
For eBooks to Work, We Need
• Compatibility– Device agnostic
• Easy transfer
• Reasonable DRM

Libraries are Doing it Wrong
![Page 17: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Adobe Digital Editions
![Page 19: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Too Many Steps!
• Library Catalog• EBL – Open– Download
• Adobe Digital Editions• Nook
![Page 22: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
No Space = No Browsing
• Loss of serendipitous discovery
• Major faculty concern
![Page 23: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Browsing Problem
• Books in storage• One book – one call number• No option for eBooks• No option for books not in collection• No option for consortial partners• No option for books already checked out
![Page 24: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Browsing Solution
• Digital browsing via catalog– Any format– Physical availability irrelevant– One book can have many locations
• A mobile option?– QR code for physical location– Digital options nearby
![Page 25: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Decreasing Budgets
• Disproportionate impact on monographs– Fewer dollars = fewer books
![Page 26: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Demand-Driven Acquisition
• eBooks combined with POD (ideally)– eBooks combined with
print (really)
• Solves multiple problems– Space– Budget– Format
![Page 27: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Definitions
• Patron-Driven Acquisition (PDA)– Faculty
Requests/Input– Use Data
• Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA)– Meets immediate
need
![Page 28: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Demand-Driven Acquisitions Goals
• Broaden the collection–More titles–More publishers–More subjects
• Match acquisitions to immediate demand–Pay at point of need–Pay for amount of need– Short-term loans–Purchase-on-demand

Reconceiving Library Collections
• Traditional Model– Building a collection– Library as steward of cultural record– Providing resources for current research/teaching
• DDA– Allows a collection based on access– Primary goal: providing resources for current
research/teaching
![Page 31: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
DDA | Discovery
• Can’t buy it if you can’t find it• Can’t find it if it’s not where you
look
• Library discovery tools must work where users are
![Page 32: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What We Know About Mobile
• Surpassing desktop ownership/usage• Changing user expectations– Immediate access!• Download• Request
• Changing user behavior– Purchase, download
![Page 33: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Library Catalogs• Don’t take advantage of
mobile:– No location information– Often no ability to request an
item for delivery/to be held– No ability to check out with
device– Limited by idea of traditional
catalog/services
![Page 34: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Libraries Need To
• Respond to mobile technology:– Immediate access– Anywhere
• Even for print
![Page 35: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Disaggregation, Unbundling
• Of collections– Fewer packages– End of the big deal?
• Of content– Article vs. journal– Chapter vs. book
Smaller pieces for smaller devices
![Page 36: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Collaboration
• In purchase– e or e/p
• In storage• In drawing down
print collections
![Page 38: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Shared Collections
• Shared e-access– Multiple business
models for e (subscription, purchase, package, DDA)
![Page 39: Academic Library Monograph Collections and Mobile Technology: Trends and Opportunities](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062704/5558af3fd8b42a7e298b474a/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Dispersed Collections
• One print copy to share consortially
• Shared storage• Reliance on partner
libraries
