  • Distributed Resources Report
    Latin Americanist Research Resources Project Distributed Resources Project Participants Progress Reports for Fiscal Year 2017/2018 Compiled by Sócrates Silva, Collection and Analysis Working Group Chair Summary Twenty four (24) of the thirty-five institutions participating in the Distributed Resources Project (DRP) responded to the annual survey questionnaire as of June 27, 2018. The survey asked each institution to report the amount spent on its DRP-assigned collection area, mention significant acquisitions, and report any changes in assigned collection area(s) or budget allocations. Total DRP collections among 25 respondents who could provide dollar amounts were approximately $395,910. In comparison the total dollar amount for the 30 of 35 respondents who answered the last survey conducted in 2012/2013 was approximately $548,862. In comparison to the last survey conducted-allocations for most institutions remained approximately the same, but there were notable reductions at a few institutions. A few institutions reported increases but none were as significant as the reported reductions. The DRP total in the 2017/2018 survey is likely due to a combination of a smaller set of respondents and budgetary reductions to DRP areas since the 2012/2013 survey. No changes to DRP coverage was noted by respondents though Harvard expressed interest in adding Cuba to its DRP coverage. In an editorial correction to the website, Vanderbilt listed Guatemala as one of its commitments. This year a question was asked about methods used to surface DRP expenditures for fiscal year 2017/2018. This question was asked to serve as a jumping point for future thinking about challenges and solutions to discovery of DRP material.

  • A Pinhole Approach to Understanding ILL Costs and Trends, Or, What a Dutch Master Can Teach Us About Analyzing Resource Sharing Data
    Submitted on: 19.09.2017 Document Delivery and Resource Sharing: Transforming Resource Sharing in a Networked Global Environment 10-11 August 2016 Library of Congress, Washington, DC A Pinhole Approach to Understanding ILL Costs and Trends, or, What a Dutch Master Can Teach Us About Analyzing Resource Sharing Data Dennis Massie OCLC Research [email protected] Copyright © 2016 by OCLC. This work is made available under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 Abstract: In an environment where library administrators emphasize the virtues of evidence-based decision making, the resource sharing community has access to only a small proportion of the transactional data it needs. Most have access to data from only those groups in which they are active, generated by the resource sharing systems they use. No complete global picture is available. Worse, the most often quoted cost data associated with interlibrary loan activity is more than a decade old and does not cover newer models of sharing library materials. This paper reports on recent efforts by OCLC Research, in consultation with library practitioners, to draw fresh conclusions about current resource sharing costs and trends by studying carefully-selected snapshots of data. Those snapshots include: 1) five years’ worth of collection-sharing data contributed by libraries from two large resource sharing consortia; 2) the results of structured interviews conducted with interlending staff from those consortia; and 3) lessons learned from building an ILL Cost Calculator designed to function as a real-time virtual ILL cost study. By extrapolating from these small samples of data and experience, OCLC Research demonstrates how we might come to a better understanding of our “macro” collection-sharing world by going selectively “micro” – much as Vermeer is rumored to have created some of his most famous masterpieces using the camera obscura technique.

Tell me a bit about the exhibition. culture as a curator Images of African Americans have appeared on a wide range of consumer goods throughout the twentieth century, from Aunt Jemima’s pancakes to the Air Jordan basketball shoe. But these images did more than sell things. The exhibit explores how commercial art capitalized on—and gave powerful form to—widely held racist attitudes among white Americans throughout the twentieth century. It also illustrates how many corporations and designers, white and black, used graphic design to envision the place of African Americans in American society—from the nadir of Jim Crow racial segregation continued on page 4 f rom the d irector THE 2013-14BOARD OF THE LIBRARY diane Sperling Lauderdale, Chair; Preparing for Crossroads Interim Department Chair and Professor of Epidemiology, Department of Health Studies By Judith Nadler, Director and University Librarian Robert Bird, Associate Professor, Department

  • Report on the Music Collection Assessment Summit
    Report on the Music Collection Assessment Summit April 21-23, 2021, University of Toronto (online) Report by Janneka Guise, Director, University of Toronto Music Library The University of Toronto Music Library has undertaken a large-scale assessment of the music score collection. The team responsible for the assessment work consists of all the music librarians plus the music archivist: • Trevor Deck, Collections Management Librarian, Music and Film • James Mason, Digital Initiatives and Metadata Librarian • Tim Neufeldt, Instruction Librarian and Circulation Supervisor • Rebecca Shaw, Music Archivist Apart from the fact that regular collection assessment is a best practice for libraries, we face specific, critical challenges that necessitate this work: • We are out of shelf space in the Library, despite 30% of our collection having been moved to Downsview, the U of T Libraries’ off-site shelving facility. We currently have a reactive approach whereby we weed one item for Downsview for every new acquisition we shelve. We want to be proactive: develop criteria for what stays in-house and what moves to Downsview; move a large number of materials to Downsview at once; use the criteria to direct new acquisitions to Downsview or to the Music Library as appropriate. • The Faculty of Music began a space audit in 2019 in order to make a case to the Provost for a new building/renovation. The Music Library is located in the Faculty and is part of the space audit. We need to answer questions such as: How much space do we need, ideally? How much of the collection can move to Downsview? Which materials should remain on- site and why? • We want to investigate the diversity in our collection: what percentage of compositions are written by women, by Black or Indigenous people, or people of colour? What countries of origin are represented in our collection? We hope to uncover and celebrate this diversity, understand the uniqueness and specialties of our collection, teach users how to search for these materials, and fill gaps in important areas.

  • A Day in the Life of a Law Librarian Kerem Kahvecioglu
    Insights – 25(1), March 2012 A day in the life of a law librarian: Kerem Kahvecioglu A day in the life of a law librarian Kerem Kahvecioglu This is not a typical ‘day in the life’ of Kerem Kahvecioglu, since his normal daily life is as Law Librarian at Istanbul Bilgi University in Turkey. However, thanks to an Internship Grant – he was awarded the 2011 Internship Grant by the International Association of Law Libraries (IALL) – Kerem was able to take a month’s internship in the United States at the Yale Law School Library. I would like to share some of my impressions of this time with you in the form of what I hope is an interesting, if slightly ‘fictional’, day. It was a great experience to be an intern in an academic law library with a vision ‘to be the best academic law library in the world’. Within the internship period, I visited the Harvard Law School Library and I attended the 104th Annual Meeting and Conference of the American Association of Law Libraries in Philadelphia from 23-26 July 2011. Architectural wonders I was so excited on this first morning. As I walked through the campus at Yale, I was amazed to see a genuine architectural surprise: like a jewel “I was amazed to see a box building! When I got closer, I realized it was the ‘Beinecke Rare Book genuine architectural and Manuscript Library’ (http://www.library.yale.edu/beinecke), one surprise: like a jewel of the largest buildings in the world devoted entirely to rare books and box building!” manuscripts.
