The academic library exists to preserve knowledge for future genera4ons.
hQps://flic.kr/p/s2hSPr
The academic library exists to serve the curricular and research needs of
current students and faculty.

Coexis4ng Missions
Tradi4onally, access to resources for our students necessitated long-‐term preserva4on
hQps://flic.kr/p/a1ByLR
Conflic4ng Missions
Temporary Access • More resources available to current students and faculty
• Weakens stewardship mission
Permanent Access • More costly • Fewer resources for current students and faculty
The library used to be the primary place to find informa4on . . . but not anymore
Student Expecta4ons
• Immediate access to almost everything
• If you can’t get it right away, move on to the next thing
Tradi4onal Collec4on Development
• Purchase books – At point of publica4on – At close to list price – Made easier by approval plans
– Ra4onal – Predictable
• Subscribe to journals – As they are issued – At list price, then at a discount as part of the Big Deal
Buy un&l the budget is spent
Drawbacks of the tradi4onal model
• Hard to acquire books retroac4vely • Difficult to access journal ar4cles without ini4al subscrip4on
• Lots of low or no-‐use material • A somewhat sta4c collec4on, augmented by interlibrary loan
• Heavy duplica4on of common materials across libraries
Beginnings of a new model
Started with journals • Shi` to access through journal packages – But with perpetual access rights to some 4tles
• Reliance on aggregator packages – With no perpetual access rights
We now accept as a given that most of the journals in our collec&ons have only
temporary access rights.
New approaches for books
• Demand-‐driven acquisi4on of monographs – Mostly ebooks
• Subscrip4on packages of ebooks
• Possible because of print-‐on-‐demand, decreased chance of books going out of print, beQer used book market
Libraries treat these as supplementary models to tradi&onal book buying
What if we became more aggressive?
A (mostly) demand-‐driven collec4on?
• Load records into catalog – Any book with poten4al relevance to curricular and research focus of university
• Subscribe to some 4tles • Purchase the right format for the moment – POD – eBook
At the moment, Most books not available for local POD or as ebook on DDA
What would be necessary to expand DDA?
• All books available as POD, ebook • No book ever goes out of print • Guaranteed access to not-‐yet-‐purchased 1tles
Ensuring Future Access
• Por4co, LOCKSS/CLOCKSS protect what we’ve already licensed
• We need a solu4on to protect what we have not yet licensed
Just imagine . . .
• ALL relevant 4tles available to our students
• Purchase based on use
hQps://flic.kr/p/yNpLa
A demand-‐driven collec4on
• Confidence that a 4tle will always be available for poten&al purchase
• Demand-‐drive collec4on size bounded – At the lower end by limita4ons in academic quality, curricular match
– At the upper end by budget
What about journals?
hQps://flic.kr/p/4pShZo
A beQer ques4on:
What about ar&cles?
To what extent can ar4cle-‐level rental replace subscrip4ons and the big deal?
The Big Deal
• O`en a very good deal • O`en unaffordable
. . . a medium or small deal supplemented by ar&cle rental?
Back to that Stewardship idea
hQps://flic.kr/p/JYdxr
A Broader Defini4on of Special Collec4ons
• Rare books • Manuscripts • Archives • But also resources important to the ins4tu4on
hQps://flic.kr/p/9gvwfF
Other Collec4ons
To the extent possible, all material not included in this more expansive defini4on of Special Collec4ons will be provided temporarily • On demand • Via subscrip4on with no post-‐cancella4on rights
Shared Print Archiving
• Libraries will more aggressively decrease legacy print holdings
• Regional, na4onal last copy policies and procedures
• Collabora4ve prospec4ve collec4on building
This is one way that libraries will fulfill the stewardship mission
Expanding the scope of collec4ons
• Research support and analysis • Cita4on management • Primary sources
Expanding Even Further
We concentrate our efforts on a very small por4on of a huge poten4al collec4on
Tradi&onal Collec&on
Scholarly Resources
The Universe of Informa&on

The Value of Discovery
• The collec4on is – Both owned and unowned – Physical and digital – Locally, regionally, na4onally, globally dispersed
• Discovery is crucial
hQps://flic.kr/p/ihaMcg
Delivery is Key Discovery only maQers if access is immediate • Local POD • Unmediated ebook, ar4cle delivery replaces ILL
• Ordering physical copies from other libraries a last resort, but delivery will be fast
