This article gives details about the process the author uses to collect, track, analyze and visualize usage data to inform the library ’ s annual online serials cancelation and renewal decisions. The process results in significant cost savings that help the library achieve its mission of providing resources to support Providence College ’ s curriculum and the needs of its faculty and students in the most fiscally responsible way possible.

ing, and Web Ontology Language (OWL) represent ontologies on Semantic Web. The language and format of Semantic Web like XML and RDF allow users to publish data online. However, these records are not searchable by a search engine. As the need for digital ontology is growing more rapidly, KOSs other than traditionally library-based classification systems started to develop faster in order to accommodate the newly developed representation of information and knowledge. New KOSs will be continually created and evolve. Introduction to Knowledge Organization provides a comprehensive historical, foundational, and theoretical background of the concept while demonstrating practical application of KOSs in this ever-changing time and discipline. It is highly recommended for any librarian who wants to have an overall understanding and get ready for the new changes.

for the various activities and policies within the department. While drawbacks and challenges of these platforms are discussed, the overall report is that the usage of these tools greatly improved communication, collaboration, and morale among those working in technical services departments. The rest of the chapters in this section highlight other strategies for fostering healthy communication within this department. One case study showed how a large urban library fostered positive relationships within their technical services department by, paradoxically, going outside of the library via organized retreats in Chapter 3: “Retreating to Advance Together.” Then the next chapter goes on to show how clear multi-directional communication with everyone involved in projects helped foster a positive environment within one large university library system’s technical services department. The second section of this book looks at communication outside of technical services but within the library. The first chapter in this section details how one library started offering training opportunities on the topics of cataloging and metadata so that the rest of the library can better understand the true value provided by the department. Other case studies highlighted in this section include one library that successfully used a collaborative project management tool, and another that developed an internal e-resources ticketing system. This section wraps up with a chapter looking at the communication breakdown between technical services departments and subject librarians, and how they used both surveys and focus groups to take a more data-driven approach to fill communication gaps within the library. The final section of this book looks at strategies for communicating value wholly outside of the library. For many of the chapters in this section, the audience is simply the broader university or organization, such as with the chapter on marketing the library through a range of channels. Other chapters looked at collaborations with a specific audience, such as collection development conversations and the faculty, or discovery interface enhancements and the IT department. The final chapter is called “Hope for the Best, Prepare for the Worst,” which sums up this entire final section: always keep an optimistic outlook but also be prepared for adversity. Communicating clearly outside of the library may be more of a challenge for many technical services departments, but it is imperative for them to both promote and further their work outside of the library’s walls, and this section provides practical examples of how to best do this. Overall, this book illustrates that there are many different strategies for technical service departments to better communicate their value. In addition to the insightful case studies, this book also contains examples of surveys, infographics, and an appendix complete with various kinds of content that support the stories appearing within.

Recently our Systems and Online Services unit implemented the SUSHI protocol for COUNTER 5 usage statistics in our library services platform. This is a powerful way to automate the collection of usage statistics from compliant vendors. There remained, however, a need for evaluating the results on a regular basis to verify that the linked accounts were working without the timeconsuming process of checking each account individually. This article outlines our method for identifying possible problems with the automatic harvesting of usage data on a regular basis so we can easily maintain and proactively troubleshoot SUSHI accounts at our university.

example, chapters three “(Fund Management”), four (“Ordering”), and seven (“Continuing Resources”) would be excellent primers for a new library professional learning the jargon of collection management. Other chapters offer accessible explanations of a liaison’s potential role in accreditation reviews, collection weeding, and library consortia. In all, this slim volume is a comprehensive overview of a liaison’s role in the life cycle of library collections. Chapters two (“Collection Development”) and five (“Collection Development Committee”) demystify two areas of collection development that new librarians may imagine they will spend a lot of time on. As the authors point out, the reality of liaison responsibilities is much more complex than simply choosing books. Nonetheless, these two chapters offer the reader a succinct overview of current collection development practices, as well as a common model for doing the work. Each chapter includes case study examples, templates, and lessons learned, giving the reader reassurance that the authors write from experience. Chapters six (“Building Relationships”) and nine (“Collection Assessment and Weeding”) introduce two aspects of liaison responsibilities that can be fraught, depending on local institutional culture. Armstrong and Dinkle provide sound advice about building relationships with faculty in campus departments, clearly drawing on years of experience. They are also realistic and accepting of departments and faculty that are unresponsive to library outreach of any kind. The authors articulate reasonable parameters for weeding, outlining hypothetical weeding projects that most libraries could undertake. Armstrong and Dinkle offer libraries an ideal model for engaging liaison librarians in management of the collection. However, they are realistic about local practices. Among the most valuable tools in this book is each chapter’s “Local Practices Questionnaire.” These questionnaires are not only a useful framework for new liaisons, they may also help collection managers organize training materials or anticipate common questions. The Library Liaison’s Training Guide to Collection Management is an accessible and practical manual for any librarian who is taking on new liaison and collection development responsibilities.

Abstract It is difficult for libraries to keep track of resource accessibility when libraries often subscribe to thousands of resources. One means for recording a resource’s accessibility is the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT). Completed by the product vendor, a VPAT documents whether the resource does or does not support accessibility over a wide range of criteria. For the past few years, Texas A&M University (TAMU) Libraries have been gathering VPATs as a way to track accessibility across its electronic resources. What follows is an analysis of the collection of VPATs that the TAMU Libraries have gathered.
