Abstract The value of big deals is increasingly unclear. This article briefly discusses factors others have considered in evaluating big deals and covers the four factors that should be considered moving forward: open access, interlibrary loan, post-termination access, and a-la-carte costs. Unsub, a tool for reevaluating big deals created by the nonprofit OurResearch, is introduced. Lessons learned are shared from two years of helping libraries reevaluate big deals to provide insight into the complexities and tradeoffs involved in evaluating big deals across many libraries.

Abstract Two librarians from the James E. Walker Library at Middle Tennessee State University describe the implementation of prepaid article access to ScienceDirect content. An overview of the initiative is provided along with adjustments that were made to the implementation. Also included is a description on how the use of various tools streamlined the user experience. The authors describe the challenges of determining the levels of mediation that worked for the library and its users. Although the program will be discontinued due to costs and limited customization options, useful information was gathered about article use indicating the need for scholarly resources and document delivery services. This article is based on the lightning talk, Streamlining User Experiences with ScienceDirect Prepaid Articles, presented at the 2022 North Carolina Serials Conference.

Abstract Library-funded open access publishing support at Iowa State University has been growing and has required finding scalable solutions to processes, incorporating new tools, and developing effective workflows. This article is based on a NC Serials Conference presentation that provided insights into the Library’s approach to managing author participation in open access deals with publishers.

Abstract More libraries are assessing collections to improve diversity and better meet the needs of the populations served. The University of North Texas Health Science Center at Fort Worth is one of those libraries doing just that and is taking it one step further by challenging vendors to do the same. The presentation highlighted specific events that initiated the project, the objectives within the project, challenges that presented themselves and the solutions created, details of communicating with vendors around diversity needs, the impact on the collection, and identified future steps.

Abstract As many archives increase digital access to their holdings, there is a need for a clear policy on how institutions can ethically include sexual materials in digital collections. These materials are vital to building inclusive collections, but they also deserve special consideration in balancing access with privacy. Such materials, particularly those with reference to sexual or gender-based violence, deserve a specific ethical framework because of their unique ability to cause continued harm to both subjects and users. This paper proposes the application of the radical empathy framework developed by Michelle Caswell and Marika Cifor (2016) to determine consent to digitize the materials and discusses some examples where this framework might apply.

Abstract University of Houston Libraries established a new organizational structure in October 2021 and created the new Collections Strategies & Services department. This unit undertakes a more programmatic, collaborative approach to collections and begins to address the need for a broad, enterprise-wide document that clearly articulates its philosophy and priorities. In order to learn from other libraries and help develop collection plan or policy, an investigation about Association of Research Libraries (ARL) member institutions’ collections policies was conducted. This paper detailed the methodology used to collect these policies, different types of policies and guidelines found on ARL member institutions’ websites, and indications and suggestions for future policy development. The authors also called for collective efforts to build and maintain a collections policies bank for the broad library information science community to facilitate further collaboration and communication across institutions.
休斯顿大学图书馆于2021年10月建立了新的组织结构，并创建了新的馆藏策略与服务部门。该单位采用更程序化、合作性的方法来处理藏品，并开始解决对广泛的、企业范围的文件的需求，该文件清楚地阐明了其理念和优先事项。为了向其他图书馆学习，帮助制定馆藏计划或政策，本文对美国研究图书馆协会(Association of Research libraries, ARL)成员机构的馆藏政策进行了调查。本文详细介绍了收集这些政策的方法、在ARL成员机构网站上找到的不同类型的政策和指南，以及对未来政策制定的指示和建议。作者还呼吁共同努力为广泛的图书馆情报界建立和维护一个馆藏政策银行，以促进各机构之间的进一步合作和交流。

Abstract In March 2020, East Carolina University (ECU) transitioned to remote work and online instruction to reduce operations on campus and help address the spread of COVID-19. To respond to this shift in workflow, ECU Libraries published a FAQ (frequently asked questions) page and provided resources for faculty, staff, and students as they navigated access to library resources from remote locations. Staff expected to see the use of electronic resources affected and potentially a spike in authentications as a result of the transition to online instruction and work arrangements. This case study examines the use of library resources from September 2019 to August 2021 at East Carolina University Libraries. Top platforms are discussed and trends analyzed using the OpenAthens statistics platform. This article is based on a lightning talk presented at the North Carolina Serials Conference in April 2022.

Abstract The Paul Meek Library at the University of Tennessee at Martin (UTM) migrated to the FOLIO platform in July 2021. Consequently, the library decided to make the transition from EZproxy as the primary off-campus authentication system to OpenAthens. In this article, the authors describe the two-phased implementation process and discuss how staff collaborated closely with EBSCO throughout the process. Lessons and tips learned during the implementation will be addressed. In addition, EBSCO’s inputs and suggestions are included in relation to UTM’s implementation experience.
