Abstract Library knowledgebases (kbs) have improved generation by generation, product by product over the last three or four decades. Functionality, completeness, integration with other library systems, and the standardization of useful data elements have all increased particularly via the Knowledgebases and Related Tools (KBART) Recommended Practice (RP), KBART Automation RP, and the upcoming NISO recommendation for package identifiers. However, several more fields and limiters would greatly enhance kbs for staff users. These include additional date fields, indicators for consortia- or region-specific packages, curator/responsible party, and more.

Abstract This article compares the disruptive impact Napster had on the music industry in the early 2000s to the disruptive impact Open Access (OA) movements (both legal and illegal) are having on scholarly communication through the lens of a nonprofit scientific publisher that wants to transition to OA, but is uncertain how.

Abstract Managing license renewals is a challenging process: Do we acquire another short-term license? A longer term or perpetual license? Should we automatically renew a license or complete a review before proceeding? What criteria should we use to review a streaming video? To ensure continued access to content while also managing a limited budget, Eastern Michigan University’s Halle Library created a review process that includes internal criteria and outreach to faculty. This process has reduced the number of unnecessary renewals and helped to ensure required content is available, while also improving communication between the library and faculty and increasing awareness of the cost of streaming video access. This lighting talk will briefly describe our process for involving faculty in the review process, detail the criteria we use to recommend renewal or cancelation, and share the outcome of our efforts in 2021.

Abstract Dahlgren Memorial Library (DML) is the graduate health and life sciences library for Georgetown University Medical Center and serves a wide population. The library is 99% electronic and boasts a robust collection of electronic resources, such as ebooks and Springshare LibGuides. DML began subscribing to LibGuides in 2009 and since had accumulated 8,000 assets. Over 4,000 of the assets were links from an A–Z eBooks Guide created for all of the ebooks in DML’s collection. After some analysis, the assets showed low statistics, duplication, and old metadata. With the introduction of an eBooks Highlight Collection in 2021, there came organization, new methodology, and ultimately a reduction of assets in the library.

Abstract Two academic programs had been approved for creation at a four-year public university. Shortly after embarking on a collection and resource review process, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Due to the pandemic, many libraries and academic departments were asked to reduce their overall expenditures. New methods had to be utilized to enhance funding-focused conversations. The use of benchmarking was implemented to identify discipline-specific sources and influence budgetary approval. The benchmarking materials that were generated facilitated communication within the library, the emerging academic programs, and university-level administration. The use of these reports resulted in positive results in this specific case and ultimately led to the acquisition of a large portion of the requested resources. This approach may prove to be useful for increasing understanding across university units and assist with obtaining additional funding.

Abstract As part of the 2022 NC Serials Conference, Li Ma, e-resource and serials librarian from the University of South Carolina (USC) presented a lightning talk describing staff training efforts on e-Resources management in Alma, an Ex Libris’ cloud-based Library Management System. She discussed challenges encountered by their e-Resources with respect to learning of new concepts and workflows, strategies they followed and some tips for effective training. The talk wrapped up with some closing thoughts, ideas for on-going/future training and “nice to have” features that could be incorporated within Alma for a robust trained staff in future.

Abstract After the California State University system canceled a large journal package in 2015, California State University Northridge analyzed usage and overlap data and proceeded with a subscription to a small number of single titles. This collection development decision was coupled with an attempt to improve discovery and linking for open access content. In the years since the cancelation, overall usage of the publishers journal content has remained comparable to pre-cancelation usage, while downloads of open access content have increased.

As the measurement scale shrinks, the reliability of nanoscale measurement is even more crucial for a variety of applications, including semiconductor electronics, optical metamaterials, and sensors. Specifically, it is difficult to measure the nanoscale morphology at the exact location though it is required for novel applications based on hybrid nanostructures combined with 2D materials. Here, we introduce an advanced hybrid positioning system to measure the region of interest with enhanced speed and high precision. A 5-axis positioning stage (XYZ, R, gripper) makes it possible to align the sample within a 10-μm field of view (FOV) in both the scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the atomic force microscope (AFM). The reproducibility of the sample position was investigated by comparing marker patterns and denting points between the SEM and AFM, revealing an accuracy of 6.5 ± 2.1 μm for the x-axis and 4.5 ± 1.7 μm for the y-axis after 12 repetitions. By applying a different measurement process according to the characteristics of 2D materials, various information such as height, length, or roughness about MoTe2 rods and MoS2 film was obtained in the same measurement area. As a consequence, overlaid two images can be obtained for detailed information about 2D materials.

Abstract Librarians at a large, federally funded, multidisciplinary research organization sought to assess the value provided by the library’s collections. One method for capturing this value includes determining how well their library’s collections meet researcher needs, as expressed by the materials those researchers choose to cite in the production of new scholarly communications. A cited reference analysis was performed on the publications originating from the institution to provide the necessary data for the assessment, as well as to aid in the creation of a core list of journals which will inform future collection development efforts. This paper fills a gap in the library and information science literature by addressing the citation behaviors of researchers at a large multidisciplinary government research facility, a setting that has not been examined previously.
