Charleston 2008

My Acquisitions Librarian and I are going to present this year, and I'm going to sit on a panel discussion too. I wondered if I would ever present in Charleston, and then it all welled up into one year!

Here's the blurb for our presentation:

Retrospective Titles: Verification and Online Access
Speakers: Charles F. Hillen - Head, Monograph Acquisitions and Metadata Services, The Getty Research Institute; Ann J. Roll - Acquisitions Librarian, The Getty Research Institute.

Ever increasing online access to retrospective titles has generated new challenges for acquisitions and collection development staff who are verifying orders and performing pre-order searching. Several university presses, such as the University of California Press, are offering fully digitized titles free of charge. Other projects that are broader in scope, such as the University of Virginia’s Digital Text Collections and the Internet Archive’s Open-Access Text Archive, are digitizing public domain books, among other things. When faced with ordering a retrospective title, we can search a wide range of sources of digitized materials and may discover online access. In the case of gray literature, such as conference proceedings, we often discover that online access is the only option. A major concern is that no one is mining and aggregating this large body of scattered digital resources, which means that the pre-order search and verification process can be time-consuming. At our library, we began to face these challenges by writing a white paper that identifies some major questions about our collecting process, how to incorporate these sources for digitized material into our ordering workflow, and how our discoveries are affecting our perception of the print collection in general. If we are concerned about providing e-books to patrons for all of the many advantages they offer, we must to some degree be concerned about
our retrospective holdings that now have electronic versions where e-access is not available in the library catalog.

In this presentation, we will provide a brief overview of our library setting, review the problem of retrospective titles as stated above, share the sources that we have found, and discuss some of the workflow changes that we have made in order to accommodate searching in them. We will offer examples and seek discussion from the attendees.

I am really excited to be going! It should be a great conference this year. Anyone from Old D. going this year?
