Avis Senior Assistant Director of Admissions A proud Michigan native, Mackie Avis made his way to Kenyon to ma- jor in history, study Latin and Czech, and spend a semester abroad in Prague. A true scholar-athlete, he was distinguished on the playing field as a member of the men’s lacrosse team, serving as the team’s captain and lead goal scorer. Mackie and his positive experience at the College inspired his younger brother to join him in Gambier. While staff members in the Enrollment Division are always happy to enroll students whose connection to Kenyon is strengthened by a legacy, we were particularly glad to have more members of the Avis family on campus. Over time, Mackie’s incred- ible devotion to family has inspired us, developing in all a particular care for his clan and for our own. As a son, sibling, cousin, and friend, Mackie is loyal, steady, and fun. Of course, all of these traits have served him well in his work on behalf of the College and the students he inspires every day. Reliable Mackie can be counted on to bring diplomacy and a deft touch to his work as an athletics liaison, completing many hundreds of pre-reads each year.

Mellon Foundation 140 East 62nd Street New York, NY 10065 Re: Proposal Digital Collections: from Projects to Pedagogy and Scholarship from The Five Colleges of Ohio to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Dear Gene, Over the past three years, The Five Colleges of Ohio has been immersed in the Next Steps in the Next Generation Library grant. With the generous support of the Mellon Foundation, librarians, faculty, and students have produced 46 digitization projects. Based on our successful experience, we have developed a new grant proposal that strengthens and extends our digital initiatives and collaborations. The grant, Digital Collections: from Projects to Pedagogy and Scholarship, is composed of five key initiatives: • Continued development of curriculum-driven digital collections in partnership with students and faculty while expanding the scope of the projects whenever possible to include digital scholarship practices; • Hiring of a digital scholar who will leverage our new collections development, support digital scholarship efforts, and engage our campus communities in related considerations of pedagogy, along with funding to outsource open-source programming and purchase software/hardware related to digital scholarship projects; • Additional efforts to capture and provide open access to student and faculty scholarship; • Continued professional staff development and collaboration within and across the Ohio Five library organizations to best support the needs of faculty researchers; and • The creation of new collaborations with similar institutions, particularly those focused upon the digital humanities, and broad dissemination of the products and processes developed under the grant.

Anci Vice President for Enrollment Management and Dean of Admissions The most critical resource for Kenyon is its students, and it is a resource that must be renewed each year. They come from all over the nation and all over the world, but they do not arrive spontaneously; the enrollment of a class is the product of an intentional process, guided by data and analysis but executed with heart and personal touch. And Diane stewards it all, feeling as comfortable in the worlds of databases and matrices as she is in the efforts of building strong personal connections with people (in individuals or groups). She works with intense energy, creativity, and urgency, all the time keeping institutional priorities, market pressures, and the needs of individual students all within her view. The grind of the admissions cycle can be relentless (the next recruitment season begins even before the current season concludes), but it never seems to grind Diane down. Each new year brings new challenges, and she is always prepared to take them on. And as a result, Kenyon moves forward, stronger each year. —Sean M. Decatur, president Jennifer C.

  • Risk Management Aspects of Cooperative Collection Development Projects a Paper and Presentation at Aberdeen Woods Bernard F
    Risk Management Aspects of Cooperative Collection Development Projects A Paper and Presentation at Aberdeen Woods Bernard F. Reilly, Jr. Cooperative collection development involves partnerships among libraries, universities, publishers, and other participants who join together to accomplish, through the acquisition or creation of source materials, the development of research collections. As in all cooperative endeavors the success of such activities relies upon the shared investment of resources, the allocation of specific roles and responsibilities to the various participants, and the timely fulfillment of these responsibilities. These roles and responsibilities may be short-term commitments, fulfilled during a specified, limited time period. Or they may be ongoing commitments, undertaken for longer or even indefinite periods of time. In addition, CCD activities normally involve a sharing of ownership in the resources collectively developed or acquired through those activities. More broadly this involves apportioning each participant’s interest in the potential benefits of the project. This interest, at its most obvious, is the participant’s share in ownership of, access to, or other benefits from, the resource acquired or developed. This could mean the use or even physical possession of the collection acquired, the right to modify a digital resource developed, or the ability to decide on continuation of an electronic subscription. This interest though might also go beyond the actual resources developed and include other returns on investment, such as compensatory payments due to purchasers or licensees because of a vendor’s breach of supply or license agreements, or royalties or fees derived from permissible downstream uses of the resource controlled by the coop.

DESCRIPTORS *Academic Libraries; Biochemistry; *Chemistry; *Citation Analysis; *Citations (References); Higher Education; *Library Collections; Library Materials; Shared Resources and Services; *Textbook Evaluation; Textbooks; Undergraduate Study IDENTIFIERS *College of Wooster OH ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to evaluate the chemistry collection of the College of Wooster's Chemistry Library. In particular, the extent to which the library supports the curriculum of the chemistry and biochemistry program by providing additional sources to supplement course textbooks was evaluated. Focus was on materials present in the collection on the College of Wooster campus, but the extent to which materials can be obtained through resource sharing was also considered. The study addressed: the extent of overlap of the College of Wooster's holdings with the materials cited in its required chemistry books; whether this overlap differs for the various subfields of chemistry and whether the overlap of monograph citations differs from that of journal citations; and whether this data indicates that the College of Wooster's chemistry collection is of high or low quality, gaps in its coverage, and suggestions that can be made for improvement. A total of eight undergraduate textbooks were examined for citations.
