: This snapshot session focuses on how to be flexible and supportive of both library users and staff while continuing to deliver great service during an unprecedented pandemic. Like most organiza-tions, the Binghamton University Libraries was forced to retool its information offerings and services to accommodate its users while enacting proper safety protocols for its staff. Due to physical facility closures, electronic resources became even more vital to our faculty and students with demands for online collection materials spiking sharply. This uptick was accompanied by a significant increase in the number of technical issues being reported by isolated and frustrated users who were unable to connect to curricula and research materials. Despite the need to work remotely, the Technical Services staff responsible for managing daily e-resource operations in Alma and Primo VE were able to join together to successfully create and implement an efficient workflow for balancing the growing troubleshooting caseload with other duties. This session will offer a brief overview of how the group created a useful incident tracking log, established weekly sleuthing sessions to brainstorm resolutions, drafted message templates for communicating with users, and (perhaps best of all) how we came to know each other better so as to effectively deploy our various strengths and skills in helping the Libraries’ users fulfill their information needs during a deeply troubled time. Abstract: The process for negotiating more favorable license agreement terms can be onerous – time-consuming, messy, and drawn out. But it doesn't have to be this way. This brief session will introduce a simple spreadsheet-based tool that can streamline the license negotiation process. By tracking the most important clauses, prioritizing preferred language, and easing internal communications, this tool can result in better licenses in less time. Abstract: The patchwork nature of electronic journal collections may not be obvious. Using the pool of journals we have from one publisher as an example, a journal collection can be visualized as a representation of the acquisition decisions that created it. The visualization shows the relationship between individual subscriptions, package subscriptions, Abstract: Open Access (OA) publishing is an increasingly popular way for researchers to share with work freely online while retaining copyright and ownership. Article Processing Charges (APCs) are the main model used by academic publishers to fund this model of access. Universities and their libraries find themselves in the position of funding journal subscriptions and APCs for OA content in these same journals. While subscription costs continue to rise, total institutional spending on APCs has been largely untracked and unknown among Canadian universities. An understanding of total APC spending across the institution is crucial as universities move away from institutional licensing agreements and toward

ABSTRACT Privacy should be a factor in every decision made around library services and the provision of resources. With staffing stretched to the breaking point, and only more so as a result of the pandemic, what strategies and tools could best help libraries ensure good privacy practices? This session will draw upon current scholarship, grant projects, and policy making in librarianship to highlight ways that librarians are engaging with these important issues. The panel features editors and authors from a special issue of Serials Librarian focused on library privacy. Highlights include discussing physical equivalent privacy, third-party tracking systems, and the development of model privacy license language for vendor negotiations. In this session, participants will talk about the latest concerns and what you might do in your library to assure your faculty, staff, and students that their privacy is front of mind.

ABSTRACT A growing number of new public citation databases, available free of charge and accessible on the open web, are offering researchers a new place to start their searching, providing an alternative to Google Scholar and library resources. These new “public discovery services” index significant portions of scholarly literature, then differentiate themselves by applying technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning, to create results sets that are promoted as more meaningful, easier to navigate, and more engaging than other discovery options. Additionally, these new public discovery services are adopting new linking technologies that connect researchers from citation records to full text content licensed on their behalf by their affiliated libraries. With these new sites logging millions of sessions a month, they present unique opportunities for libraries to connect to researchers working outside the library and challenges in how the library can make itself obvious in the user workflow.

ABSTRACT In March 2020, the University of Colorado Boulder Libraries (Libraries), which includes a main library and four branch locations, closed to the public and quickly shifted its services to support remote learning, instruction, and research in response to COVID-19. We fully transitioned services such as reference and research support to an online environment and pivoted collection development to primarily acquire e-resources. This was a dramatic change in operations that altered the way faculty and students interacted with the Libraries and we wanted to understand how these changes impacted our users. The authors collected and analyzed data about the use of the Libraries’ collections and services to understand user expectations during the pandemic, and measure user satisfaction with recent adjustments. The presentation and this paper summarize findings from various library data sources and survey results, and provide recommendations for prioritizing library services that best meet user expectations for the academic year 2021–22.

ABSTRACT In July 2020, The University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) Libraries began work towards building a more equitable, diverse, and inclusive organization. One of the ways in which the organization set out to achieve this goal is through the digitization of materials by and about underrepresented and diverse peoples as well as the accurate representation of these individuals and groups in our metadata. This paper describes how the UTA Libraries’ Committee for Metadata and Digitization approached this charge through the creation of three subgroups. There is discussion of the committee’s goals and processes, an evaluation of progress toward meeting objectives, plans for sustaining this work, and a list of proposed strategies for other institutions interested in implementing similar efforts.

ABSTRACT With the further promotion of ”Double First-Class” construction of universities in China, the new goal of all universities is building the first-class discipline. Academic library is the literature center of university, subject services of library should follow the pace of discipline development. In this paper, the citation frequency, which is considered as one of the important indicators of scientific research evaluation and academic evaluation, is taken as the breakthrough point. We take pharmacology as an example, take Web of Science as the platform, analyze the journal articles of this discipline in 2006–2016, reveal the characteristics of highly cited articles and the causes of zero cited articles. From publishing journals, publication year, research direction, fund and scientific research institutions to reveal academic library how to optimize journal navigation and collection structure and how to help researchers select periodicals, propagate research productions, explore the potential themes, control discipline trends, track disciplinary hot spots, obtain funding, strengthen research cooperation, etc. in order to make the subject services of library further expand.
摘要随着我国高校“双一流”建设的深入推进,各高校的新目标是建设一流学科。高校图书馆是高校的文献中心,图书馆的学科服务要紧跟学科发展的步伐。本文以被认为是科学研究评价和学术评价的重要指标之一的引文频率为切入点。我们以药理学为例,以Web of Science为平台,分析了该学科2006-2016年的期刊文章,揭示了高引用文章的特点和零引用文章的原因。从出版期刊、出版年份、研究方向、基金和科研机构,揭示学术图书馆如何优化期刊导航和收藏结构,以及如何帮助研究人员选择期刊、传播研究成果、探索潜在主题、控制学科趋势、跟踪学科热点、获得资助,加强科研合作等,使图书馆的学科服务进一步拓展。
