First, we want to welcome several librarians to the Collection Management Editorial Board: Jennifer A. Maddox Abbott (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Mark England (University of Utah), Adam H. Lisbon (University of Colorado Boulder), Seth Porter (Princeton University) and Simona Tabacaru (Texas A&M University). They bring a wealth of experiences in various aspects of collection development and management that will complement and expand on the expertise of the current board. Welcome. Members of the editorial board provide important service to the journal, from reviewing several manuscripts annually to providing feedback on the journal direction. Board members have also developed or recommended subject areas that have been turned into special issues of the journal. We are fortunate to have a great editorial board, and as coeditors we appreciate and thank you for the service you provide to the journal and to librarianship. As editors we like to group similar articles together. However, this issue of Collection Management has no unifying theme but represents interesting and novel ways to deal with collection issues using a broad variety of research and case studies from many different libraries and countries. While the first three articles in this issue were written by U.S. authors, the three final papers are by international authors. This is one of Collection Management’s goals: to publish articles on the concerns of collection librarians from all over the world. In our first article, “Expanding Demand Driven Acquisition: Complete Just-In-Time Approval Plan,” Nackil Sung and Jan S. Sung introduces a novel way used at the University of Hawaii to expand the traditional DDA model. They developed a Purchase by Request (PBR) model that allows non-DDA books to be discoverable and requested by users. By working closely with their approval plan vendor and uploading the DDA and PBR titles into their ILS, titles are exposed to users for just-in-time purchases. This model and process could be very useful for other libraries as they deal with shrinking budgets. It has long been a problem for libraries that two of the main content providers, EBSCO and ProQuest, do not share metadata. In our second article, “Hacking the Collection: Changing the Collection in Response to a Migration,” Sara Hills at American University (Washington, DC) analyzed their electronic collection use after an ILS/discovery migration from EBSCO’s EDS to ProQuest’s Alma-Primo. Finding that usage of the library’s EBSCO content had dropped significantly, the library started a process to determine where usage had dropped, and even more importantly, what alternatives there were for replacing content (from considering adding journal packages to swapping out aggregated databases). They ended up replacing some of the EBSCO content with ProQuest databases. As we have done in our last several issues, we continue soliciting and publishing articles on diversity in our library collection. O

Abstract A DDA (Demand Driven Acquisitions) preferred Approval Plan allows libraries to acquire DDA eligible books triggered by users. Non-DDA books are acquired automatically, because there is no mechanism that allows these books to be requested by users. This study explores the procedure called Purchase by Request (PBR) that allows non-DDA books to be discoverable and requested by users. After incorporating both DDA and PBR into an Approval Plan, all books in the Approval Plan are exposed to users for just-in-time purchases, and in the process saving the library a substantial amount of money.

Abstract In 2016, the Munday Library at St. Edward’s University migrated to a new discovery layer. The Library had been an EBSCO Discovery Services (EDS) customer for six years, and the migration to Ex Libris’s Alma-Primo negatively impacted content discovery and collection usage due to issues with EBSCO’s proprietary metadata and Primo’s OpenURL link resolver. This article discusses switching the library’s collection using collection data analysis to respond to the change in discovery layer. The data-informed changes made to the collection improved collection usability and access.

Abstract Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) incursion has brought a lot of changes to libraries activities. ICTs are used to manage libraries more efficiently and in meeting customers’ demands more appropriately at the right time. Despite the contribution of ICTs to library and information work, many libraries are yet to adopt these technologies especially in the acquisitions of library materials. This study was carried out in three selected university libraries in North West Nigeria. The objectives of the study were to: determine the influence of performance expectancy on academic librarians’ intention to use ICT for acquisition; establish the influence of effort expectancy on academic librarians’ intention to use ICT for acquisition; find out the extent of social influence and facilitating conditions on academic librarians’ intention to use ICT for acquisition and lastly to proffer recommendations. This study adopted a positivistic approach and used a questionnaire administered to 224 librarians to collect data in the three selected libraries. The study is guided by the Unified Theory Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) developed by Venkatesh. Findings from the study reveals that academic librarians are supportive on the use of ICT in their work; ICTs are significantly important, trainings were organized mainly for librarians on general use of ICT not only on acquisition, but also on the general issues related to library activities; librarians also have the knowledge necessary to use ICT for acquisition in their libraries. The study recommends among others that the parent universities should increase the funding of their libraries with adequate supervision, so that such funds are well utilized for ICTs application; university libraries should continually sponsor their academic staff on modern computerized ways of using ICTs to source for materials and the acquisition of information resources in academic libraries should be given all the seriousness it deserves by enacting legislation to allocate a reasonable percentage of the university’s budget to it.

Abstract This paper reports on a study to assess the Orbis Cascade Alliance’s print collection for material supporting the Black experience. It covers descriptions of general methods used for collection assessment as well as those used to assess the Alliance including Brief Tests, List Checking, and Comparison Studies. Each method is described with its strengths and weaknesses as well as their application to a consortium of libraries with Black experience being the subject matter of the material collected. These methods can be used for other multidisciplinary topics. Issues with subject headings, publishing, acquisitions, and racism emerged during the study and are covered in the discussion.

Abstract Large-scale collection management represents not just opportunities in terms of space, budgets, and personnel but also an important responsibility for the library’s ability to provide quality service and access to knowledge in the future. Libraries must address many challenges when managing collections, but by taking advantage of opportunities when presented, libraries can improve access for today and tomorrow. Using the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an example, this article will explore how opportunities like high-density storage, shared print initiatives, digitization efforts, and mass deduplication can address challenges facing libraries and improve current and future access to collections.
大规模馆藏管理不仅在空间、预算和人员方面提供了机会，而且对图书馆未来提供优质服务和获取知识的能力也负有重要责任。图书馆在管理馆藏时必须应对许多挑战，但通过利用出现的机会，图书馆可以改善当前和未来的访问。本文以伊利诺伊大学香槟分校(University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)为例，探讨高密度存储、共享打印计划、数字化工作和大规模重复数据删除等机会如何解决图书馆面临的挑战，并改善当前和未来对馆藏的访问。

Abstract This article looks at the repetitive tasks faced by East Asian Studies Librarians and considers how to automate them. By confirming the most repetitive tasks in East Asian Librarianship, the author, who is a selector for Japanese language materials, identified checking donations and user requests against library holdings as a task that was highly repetitive and automatable. The article explains the factors for assessing how to automate checking for duplicates. The basics of creating a script with the automation tool AutoHotKey are introduced and demonstrate how to create a basic macro. Finally, the macro for duplicate checking is assessed for efficiency, accuracy, and unanticipated benefits/challenges for using macros.
