Review Process for Non-research Collections Room 2102

Presenter: Kevin W Merriman, Acquisitions Librarian, University of New Orleans Description: For non-research subject areas, especially undergraduate collections, the library workers who are in the stacks every day can be an untapped resource of knowledge. These are people who know which subject areas are used most frequently, which are languishing on the shelves, and which are in such disrepair the students workers don’t even want to straighten them. The physical condition of broad, shallow collections is critical to functionality and ILS reports will not always reveal which books are dirty, damaged, or outdated. By having specially trained paraprofessionals and student workers pull books for review and sorting them for review by professionals, the work of the librarian is maximized.

Addressing the e-Journal Preservation

Conundrum: Understanding Portico Room 1212C

Presenter: Ken DiFiore, Associate Director of Library Relations, Portico Description: Teaching and research have become increasingly dependent upon the convenience and enhanced accessibility of electronic scholarly resources, particularly electronic journals. Along with the use of these resources comes the challenge associated with protecting them for future generations of scholars, researchers, and students. Prior to the development of e-journals, libraries maintained the long-term availability of scholarly research through storing and preserving print copies. However, the preservation of e-journals raises many new questions for librarians. Portico has been created to address the growing concern over the preservation of scholarly e-journals, and with the hope that providing a trusted archival home for these ‘at-risk assets’ will assist libraries in their transition from print to electronic. This session will examine the issues surrounding e-journal preservation and provide a general overview of the Portico archiving service, and includes a description of Portico’s approach to preserving e-journals and the business model for supporting the Archive.
