Abstract This research studies the fields contained in “Suggest a Purchase” forms from 100 university libraries, focusing on the data they can provide to subject specialists to make decisions about collection development. The research will consider whether the content of “Suggest a Purchase” forms may be used to aid subject specialists and collection development librarians to make decisions concerning the purchasing of books and other materials. Statistical evidence gathered through the “Suggest a Purchase” forms is analyzed to justify the relevancy of specific fields. The research examines whether patron-initiated purchases may offer data concerning collection gaps and trends in users’ needs. The paper concludes with recommendations for best practices in the design and content of patron suggestion forms.

Abstract Diversity literary awards and other sources were used to create a list of high-quality titles written by and about underrepresented groups. This list was used to assess the diversity and inclusiveness of the library collections of a land-grant university in the Pacific Northwest and compare it to peer institutions. Gaps in the collection and acquisition processes were identified and will be used to improve the processes to increase the number of diverse titles added to the library’s collections.

Abstract Acquiring technical standards connects libraries with vendors who are very protective, legally and technologically, of their products. To conform to the technical restrictions placed on standards, librarians must think creatively and adopt a workflow more labor-intensive than with other publications. This article presents a case study of one institution, a basic discussion of the issues surrounding the addition of technical standards to a library collection, and a stepwise process for the situation in which a patron requests an individual standard.

Abstract In this citation analysis the author analyzes the primary information sources and resources used in the final scholarly output of the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton Universities MPA/MPP curriculum, the Policy Workshop Reports, which are analyzed for their scholarly significance. The evidence gained from this analysis will be of assistance to the Princeton University Library and the Donald E. Stokes Library in the formation of their collection development processes and teaching and learning interventions. The analysis uses a unique research methodology of a research synthesis and personal interrater reliability framework. This is followed by findings and actionable recommendations.

Abstract The aim of this study is to discuss the importance of understanding international copyright laws as it relates to the digitization of records created in different countries and operating under different laws. It will also present empirical research findings on compliance with the principles of copyright- related to the digitization of the African National Congress Archives, such as, the international copyright laws or the South Africa Copyright Act (No. 98 of 1978). The paper used a qualitative method that allowed the triangulation of data collection methods or enhanced reliability and validity of the research finding. Interview data was augmented through interviews, document analysis and observation. The findings revealed that the African National Congress (ANC) adhered to some of the principles of copyright law during the digitization process. The study concludes that any organization that embarked on the digitization project must comply with copyright legislation. Furthermore, the implementation of digitization requires partnerships between project owners and technological companies.

Abstract Culturally responsive librarians must provide high-quality children’s literature featuring characters of color via multiple formats, including audiobooks. This study examined the accessibility of audio versions of award-winning children’s novels in U.S. public libraries. Chi-Square analyses were used to determine whether offerings in six locales were distributed proportionally using a significance level of p < .05. Findings revealed an availability deficit in audio versions of novels primarily featuring characters of color. Therefore, book publishers and librarians must strengthen efforts to provide audio versions of high-quality novels written for youth audiences. Particularly needed are books reflecting Latino/a, Asian/Pacific, and American Indian populations.

The percentage of original manuscripts received last year dealing with Latin American history represented 51%. Articles dealing with Spanish and Portuguese economic history represented 27% and the number of original research papers on Global economic history reached 22%. Our rejection rate of submitted manuscripts not suitable for RHE-JILAEH, either by its orientation or by other problems, shows similar than last year. Evaluation and processing times for articles have remained at very reasonable values since 47% of manuscripts have been evaluated in less than four months. Once again, the greatest wealth of the Journal, jointly with the Editorial Board, is the collaboration of the reviewers of the received manuscripts. The list of reviewers reflects the international dimension of the RHE-JILAEH as well as the generosity and professionalism of the scientific community. We gratefully acknowledge their contribution during 2019. FIGURE 1 NUMBER OF ORIGINAL ARTICLES SUBMITTED TO RHE-JILAEH, 2014-2019

Abstract This paper provides a methodology to study the characteristics of the research output from a university department. The faculty publications and their cited references over a 10-year period were used as the basis for this study to identify their publishing patterns and the types of material they are publishing; a core set of journals and other resources they are publishing in and citing over this period; the characteristics of the journals in which they publish and cite; the degree of openness of their publications and their citation advantage; and the age of resources that are referenced.

Abstract This study is a diversity audit of play script orders during FY2011 and FY2019 to determine if University of California, Irvine Libraries’ orders had shifted to reflect the increased demand for diverse playwrights. The audit also examined the larger publishing landscape for play scripts during these specific years to determine if plays by diverse playwrights were being published and available for acquisition. The audit demonstrates that both the play script orders and publishing landscape have greatly diversified; however, further work needs to be done to continue diversifying local acquisitions with what is being published, so that library collections of play scripts reflect the university and country’s demographics.
