Abstract The West Virginia University Libraries migrated to OCLC’s Hosted EZproxy service in 2020. The Libraries’ main goals with the migration were to reduce staff time spent on proxy maintenance, customize user access to resources, and increase analytics about resource usage. The migration process involved sending configuration and user data to OCLC, updating vendors with a new IP address and proxy URL, and creating specialized user groups. The following details the Libraries’ experience during this project.

Abstract Accurate title and holding level metadata in a library’s link resolver knowledgebase is essential to providing access to ejournal entitlements. As a result of their complex title histories, publisher submitted ejournal metadata often needs to be manually updated in the link resolver knowledgebase to ensure title changes and coverage data align. This article will demonstrate how a custom report used at the University of Alberta Library identifies date discrepancies between link resolver and catalog data to drive link resolver knowledgebase clean up work for priority ejournal collections. It will end by highlighting how quality metadata produced by the library community might be leveraged by vendors to improve ejournal holding data globally in their link resolver knowledgebases.

Abstract This report from the 2021 NC Serials Conference provides information about the OA Switchboard, which was founded in 2020 following a project led by the Open Access Scholarly Publishing Association (OASPA). The OA switchboard creates a standardized messaging protocol and reporting tool between publishers, institutions, and funders.

Abstract The Master of Library Science (MLS) program at East Carolina University (ECU) requires internships for graduate students, pairing them with cooperating professionals to bridge the gap between theory and practice and to provide real-life experiences. The COVID-19 pandemic’s resulting transition to online-only instruction during the spring semester of 2020 impacted the traditional in-person internship significantly. ECU’s MLS internship director described the resulting changes to programming, placement, and cumulative projects; and a site supervisor described the tools and techniques used to communicate, plan, and work collaboratively online. Audience members shared additional tools and strategies for making online-only internships beneficial for students and cooperating field sites.

Abstract As a selective depository library in Tennessee for decades, the Paul Meek Library has received and housed publications of the Government Printing Office (GPO) in a variety of formats as part of the library’s collection. Over the years, lack of consistent oversight and lack of staff have led to deficiencies in the development and maintenance of the government documents collection. The purpose of this paper is to share the library’s experience with using the Cataloging Record Distribution Program (CRDP) to provide a sustainable and accessible collection. The paper describes how the library collaborated with GPO and MARCIVE, Inc. to implement the project and transform part of the collection to online resources.

Abstract The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic had wide-reaching effects throughout all of society. For libraries, this often translated to a quick pivot to support activities that moved to almost-exclusively online and remote for all patrons. Although the LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans Library was somewhat unique in that it never closed during the 2020 height of the pandemic, the majority of its patrons were accessing its resources remotely. Spurred by local anecdotal evidence journal usage had surprisingly declined at a significant rate during 2020, this study aims to determine whether this decline could be demonstrated through statistical analysis of COUNTER 5 usage reports for 2019 and 2020 for a sampling of titles. It also illustrates how COUNTER statistics may provide just a window of overall serials use.
