Abstract Academic libraries serving education students have an obligation to provide exceptional offerings of current, decolonized, diverse, and inclusive children’s literature, while also providing examples of historical juvenile writings to critique and compare. The first step is to update the juvenile collection policy to reflect decolonized changes by determining guidelines and parameters for which books stay in a collection, which will be removed, and which books will be moved to a “historical texts” collection. The policy should also reflect a more inclusive collation for new acquisitions.

Abstract Children's literature collections in academic libraries present a unique opportunity for librarians to develop engaging outreach programs for students, faculty, and community members. The Curriculum Resource Center at Bowling Green State University's Wm. T. Jerome Library has developed several popular events that both promote the collection and the central mission of creating a culture of reading. In this case study, three of the most successful endeavors – Mock Caldecott, April Madness, and Sneak Peek - are highlighted to provide insight into how we integrate our carefully developed collection into programs that inspire excitement and build community around reading.

Abstract This study investigates the relationship between librarians’ purchases and the actual preferences of library patrons based on usage. Using ten years of purchase history, we reviewed how print and ebook preferences have changed over time and what role, if any, discipline plays in format preferences. This information will be used to help subject librarians across various disciplines to make informed print and ebook purchases, relying on actual patron preferences rather than guesswork.

Abstract This study analyzes citations from The International Journal of Business Communication to reveal characteristics of the interdisciplinarity of the field of business communication and provide insight and guidance for collection development in this area. A list of most cited journals and books is provided. Subject analysis is included to determine discipline distribution, and collection development recommendations are made. A snapshot analysis is undertaken to determine what percentage of top cited journals are available with full-text at present in commonly-held subscription databases. An annotated bibliography of a selection of more cited and/or seminal books is provided, of which some may lie outside the typical expertise of business and communication librarians.

Abstract This paper examines the materials acquired during a consortial PDA pilot; which of the books are still being used, by which institutions, whether the size of a participating institution or the subject of a book have impact on the continued use of the books, and if there is a relationship between the schools that triggered a PDA purchase and the schools that have gone on to use a given title. Findings suggest that models involving some library mediation may be more effective in meeting the various needs of participating institutions.

Abstract A physical inventory of the open stacks collection at Indiana University was conducted to determine the rate of error in the corresponding bibliographic records. The inventory was started to address some errors that were found when materials were pulled for offsite storage, but took on an increased importance as participation in shared print programs increased. This article describes the methodology used to conduct the inventory, as well as the rate of error found in the records for a large, open stack collection.

Abstract Building on previous research, the author describes the mixed-methods approach, using tools familiar to most academic librarians, utilized to create a list of journal titles for possible inclusion in a core list of journals in the discipline of Educational Psychology. The result is a five-tiered list from which 37 journals are identified as being core to the discipline.

Abstract Significant cuts to the collections budget and a fire in the main library at Kansas State University transitioned the Libraries toward an increased focus upon electronic resources management. As electronic resource discovery continues to be hampered by market competition between Ex Libris and EBSCO library vendors, difficulties were identified in obtaining accurate usage statistics for resource renewal reviews, particularly EBSCO products. Kansas State University Libraries use the ALMA URM in combination with Primo discovery service, which experiences known resolver complications when paired with EBSCO resources. Technical services librarians and information technology staff tested several workarounds, but the question remains whether any proposed resolutions can be truly effective in avoiding collection usage biases and analytical discrepancies, resulting from exclusive indexing. Crunching the numbers, monetarily and analytically, the Ex Libris and EBSCO rivalry is an onerous battle on the budget and resource renewal process.
