[nfais-l] NFAIS Webinar - Patron-Driven Acquisition

[Bonnie Lawlor]

NFAIS Webinar:  Patron Driven Acquisition:  Its Impact on the Purchase and
Use of Scholarly Books and Monographs

As they face budget constrictions in today's economic environment,
innovative librarians are seeking alternative methods to access and acquire
the content required by their faculty and students.  As a result, new trends
in collection development and purchasing behaviors are emerging that will
impact all content providers, especially those offering scholarly books and
monographs.

 

On December 14, 2012 NFAIS will hold a 90-minute webinar that will look at
the current shifts in the use and purchase of scholarly books in academic
libraries, amplifying the results of the recently-released Mellon Foundation
funded report, Patron
<http://scholarlykitchen.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/pda-and-the-university-
press-5-2-final.pdf>  Driven Acquisition and the University Press.  Our
featured experts are those who led the survey and the creation of the
report:

 

Joseph J. Esposito, President, Portable CEO Consulting, and

Kizer Walker, Director of Collection Development, Cornell University Library

 

Some of the key discussion points will be:

  

.         Just-in-time vs. just-in-case collection development in different
types of academic institutions

.         Rationale for and emergence of Patron Driven Acquisition

.         Introduction of the patron-driven acquisition process into the
workflow of the user (student/faculty/researcher) and into the library
acquisition workflow

.         Impact of this shift on Scholarly Publishers and Service Providers


.         The scholarly monograph in both print and digital (format, supply
chain, rental vs, purchase business models, etc.)

.         The impact of resource sharing and inter-library loan

.         The imperative for metadata (A&I, Discovery Tools, OPACS)

.         Incentives for participation

.         Potential barriers/threats (sales impact, e-reader landscape,
Amazon)
