Abstract As libraries and communities consider institutional values and ethical standards, there is a need to scrutinize how those values and standards connect with collections decisions. An existing body of literature about the contents of the collections exists, with respect to issues like decolonization and open access, but little about the business relationships libraries maintain in order to acquire these collections. In this paper, librarians from Purdue University take a critical approach to identifying the values of their institution at multiple levels, including a newly released Libraries strategic plan, to create a values-based evaluation tool for future collection assessment.

Abstract Whether it is to free up room for study space or new collections, or for the safety and preservation of library materials, librarians and other professionals have engaged in mass ingestion projects to relocate barcoded items to high density storage facilities. Yet logistics and workflow receive little mention in the literature. The workflow established by staff at the Zhang Legacy Collections Center of Western Michigan University in 2019 allowed it to move 25,000 books from the main library stacks. The efficiencies offered by this workflow allowed staff to manage the disconnect between limited equipment and staffing and the demands of a large-scale project using the software program CAIA (Circulation, Accession & Inventory Analysis).

Abstract The abrupt transition to fully remote instruction and work due to COVID-19 forced many academic libraries to strategically move to e-preferred acquisition models while also facing new budgetary and staffing constraints. This article traces the evolution of streaming video acquisitions at Yale Library, and the impact of COVID-19 on video collection development and funding, as well as the development of technical workflows for the acquisition, receipt, and management of streaming video. It also discusses lessons learned and opportunities for future growth including cross-departmental training and collaboration, routine usage assessment for budgeting and discoverability purposes, and development of a holistic video collection development policy.

Abstract The authors describe a collection assessment project that focused on Indigenous language learning and reference material. The project, completed at the Library of Parliament, was motivated by Parliamentary committee reports addressing the use of Indigenous languages in Canada’s Senate and House of Commons. The authors created an original bibliography representing all Indigenous language families in Canada and compared it to the library’s holdings, which were also analyzed separately. Project outputs included a rejuvenated collection of Indigenous language reference and learning material; and a subject guide used to promote newly-acquired holdings and to facilitate access to online resources.

Abstract This article documents the impact of electronic resources utilization on research productivity in Tanzania universities. To examine the impact of e-resources on research productivity, a structured questionnaire and semi-structured interviews were simultaneously used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. The study reveals that increased access to electronic research materials has an insignificant impact on research productivity. The low publications rate among the faculty members who participated in the present study is one of the indicators of ineffective utilization of the resources in research productivity. This has an adverse effect on the visibility of the universities as far as the research output is concerned.

Abstract To determine the usefulness of narrative films for academic library collections we examined faculty use of narrative films through course reserve and purchase requests. We found that narrative films were used by faculty in teaching a wide variety of subjects and identified the curricular areas most used. Our findings are a case study directly related to our collection development but can be useful for other libraries building collections for similar curriculum support.

Abstract Library staff at the Vasche Library at California State University, Stanislaus used innovative collection development methods to identify potential acquisitions for the Vasche Library’s Modern Assyrian Heritage Collection. They worked with a faculty subject expert and the donor, who provided the startup funds for the collection, to search the OPACs of university libraries that had substantial holdings in Modern Assyrian Studies. The potential acquisitions identified could grow the collection by 39%.

Abstract The usage of streaming videos at The Ohio State University is examined, focusing on the University Libraries’ multi-subject vendors Alexander Street, Films on Demand, and Kanopy. Videos with at least one view per month (amount viewed not considered) are examined and assigned disciplines (Arts, Humanities, Sciences, Social Sciences, or Multi) and subjects (one out of over 100 options). The usage of the videos within the context of these disciplines and subjects is then examined for overall and average use. Finds from this indicate volume of titles being higher for some subject areas but with higher average use for other subjects, pointing to differences in the way in which instructors may be using content. These different usage patterns indicate implications for those dealing with collections and instruction aspects of streaming videos.
本文研究了俄亥俄州立大学流媒体视频的使用情况，重点研究了大学图书馆的多学科供应商Alexander Street、Films on Demand和Kanopy。每月至少观看一次的视频(不考虑观看量)将被检查并分配学科(艺术，人文，科学，社会科学或多学科)和科目(100多个选项中的一个)。然后检查这些学科和科目背景下视频的总体和平均使用情况。这一发现表明，某些学科领域的标题数量较高，但其他学科的平均使用率较高，这表明教师使用内容的方式存在差异。这些不同的使用模式表明了处理流媒体视频的集合和指令方面的含义。

Abstract This study aims to find out EBSCO’s content discoverability rate by Ex Libris’ Central Discovery Index (CDI), under the circumstance that Ex Libris/ProQuest and EBSCO do not share index data with each other. In early 2022, 512 random sample articles were collected from two EBSCO databases, Academic Search Complete and CINAHL. They were searched in Primo by title. 492 (96.09%) EBSCO samples can be found in Primo. Most of the 20 (3.91%) samples not available in Primo are non-journal and non-English items. The uncooperativeness between Ex Libris/ProQuest and EBSCO no longer seems to be a big factor for each other’s discovery service to discover and link to the items in the other party’s electronic collections.
