The University of Tennessee has struggled with providing access to e-books
and e-book collections. Processes are worked on collaboratively among
different library units: Systems, Acquisitions, Cataloging, and Electronic
Resources & Serials. The speakers will share the problems they have faced,
decision points, and their solutions to providing access to e-books. The
audience will be encouraged to contribute their solutions as well.
Presenter: Valeria Hodge, Maribeth Manoff, and Gail Watson, University of
Tennessee, Knoxville
2. Beginning in 2007 - Beginning in 2001 with a
ordered title-by-title consortial NetLibrary
through YBP collection
◦ Worked from existing ◦ Contracts and purchasing
contracts – handled by Electronic
NetLibrary, Wiley Resources Coordinator
◦ Manual, title-by-title ◦ MARC records acquired
cataloging; procedures with packages and loaded
developed in consultation by Systems Librarian
with Catalogers, Electronic ◦ Collections would often
Resources and Serials stay “hidden” i.e. accessible
Specialists, Systems only at the package level in
Librarian the database listing
Individual E-Books E-Book Packages
3. By 2010, ordering from 2006 - Number and types
EBL, Ebrary, EbscoHost, and of collections growing
Wiley (Springer, Oxford, …)
◦ Wiley contract renegotiated; ◦ Complex workflow for
NetLibrary switched to ordering, contracts, purchas
Ebscohost; EBL and Ebrary e and access
added
◦ Batch record loading
◦ Ordering OCLC records from distributed from Systems
YBP with customizations
Librarian to two Tech
developed from original
procedures Services staff
Up from 20 titles in 2007 to Currently more than 80
more than 1200 in the past packages, over 25
year vendors, new formats
(audio, video, primary
source documents)
Individual E-Books E-Book Packages
4. Workflows and procedures developed in the
early days were difficult, sometimes
impossible to scale
Will cover problems encountered and
solutions devised for both individual e-books
and e-book packages
5.
6. Increased acquisition with attention to what patrons need.
Initial acquisition method:
Individual orders selected by subject librarians
Additional methods added in 2011:
E-preferred approvals
Patron driven acquisition, including ILL purchases
7. An E-book Committee was formed to address cataloging and access needs.
◦ Preparing for the future, e.g. what if a batch edit or delete became
necessary?
◦ Providing usage restriction information.
◦ Directing patrons to terms and conditions.
Shortage of personnel for increased workload – moved to YBP purchased
records.
Patrons need to know why there is no access while a title is on order. Now
the URL link redirects the patron to a screen that explains that the title is
still on order.

12. The Problem: How to keep track of what we’ve
purchased without duplicating effort.
Workflow:
◦ Invoice
◦ Check the Bib record
◦ Add to an e-book database
◦ Add to our E.R.M.S.
◦ Verify access
The Solution: We eliminated adding titles to the
e-book database. Next Step- Investigate whether
we need to verify access for each title.
13. YBP is making files of bibliographic and invoice
records available on their FTP site for a number of
different accounts, including:
◦ Firm orders placed through Gobi
◦ E-preferred approvals
◦ DDA – two types of bib files, discovery and purchased
Manual procedures developed to regularly check
the different directories on the FTP server, upload
new files to the Aleph server and run the loading
procedures
14. The Problem:
◦ Manual method is time-consuming and tedious as
number of accounts grows
The Solution:
◦ Worked with YBP to regularize when the different files
are placed on their FTP server
◦ Our Aleph automation expert, Mike Rogers, wrote
scripts to check the FTP server, upload files, run the
Aleph loading services, and send reports
15. E-Book packages offered by providers.
E-Book titles pulled together to create a
package.
E-Book packages pulled together to create a
pseudo-collection.
16. Initial communication with provider begins.
Orders are submitted and examined in detail.
Communication about titles, cost and discounts are agreed
upon.
License terms are negotiated and an order record is added to
the catalog.
Invoice is received and payment is processed.
Cataloging is completed and access is established.
Usage statistics are collected.
Collection is maintained and updates are tracked.

21. Hidden Collection Title -
Adam Matthew: Rock and Roll:
counterculture, peace and protest
Problem –
Access available, but MARC records are
forthcoming.
Added an access point through the database for
the hidden collection.
Added a collection level record to the catalog
until the individual MARC records become
available.
Signed up for notices that alert us when the
individual MARC records are available.
22. Selected “cherry-picked” Titles -
ScienceDirect: SciVerse E-books
Problem -
Various titles were cherry-picked
from packages and grouped together
as an order.
Grouped selected titles together under a pseudo-
collection name prior to ordering.
Included subtitles, editions and ISBNs with titles
when available.
Added bibliographic records to the catalog using
collection codes and the bibliographic field 945.
24. Package Titles
Springer: English/International
Problem –
Connecting more than 25,000
titles to the collection.
Added one package order record under the
collection name.
Batch loaded bibliographic records to the
catalog.
Used collection codes and the bibliographic
field 945 to pull the collection titles together.
25. Package Titles
Springer: English/International
Problem –
Finding acceptable marc records
that are compatible to Aleph.
Decided which bibliographic fields were the
acceptable minimum requirements.
Used MarcEdit to review records and make
minimal changes.
Utilized the batch-loading process prepared
by Library Systems.
26. Package Titles
Springer: English/International
Problem –
Knowing when to load the
updates.
Assigned staff to track the status of e-Book
collections purchased, batch loaded, last load
date, and the source for the Marc records.
Informed Research Collections and Library
Systems when new MARC records for batch
loading were available.

28. Package Titles
E-Book Collections with MARC
records available.
Problem –
Prioritizing record loading and
managing the process.
Collaborated between Electronic Resources &
Serials
Management, Metadata/Cataloging, Research
Collections, and Library Systems.
Trained staff to perform the batch loading
process.
29. Original procedures were developed and implemented by a Systems
Librarian with in-depth expertise of Aleph procedures and working
on the command line
◦ 14 Step Process:
1. Download MARC file from data source and any preprocessing steps (extract
from zip file, identify coding errors)
2. Upload file to Aleph server
3. First step to convert .mrc file format to Aleph sequential (p-ret-01)
4. Second step to convert .mrc file format to Aleph sequential (p-ret-02)
5. Fix routine for control numbers – move 001 to 035, remove existing 035s for
certain sets (p-manage-37)
6. Convert to UTF-8 for certain record sets (p-manage-22)
7. Main bib file fix routine – delete unwanted fields, e.g. extraneous 9xx;
add 949 field with collection code and other data for holdings and items);
add proxy server prefix to URL (p-file-08)
8. Load records into bib database (p-manage-18)
9. Global changes – correct collection code and material type in 949 field and
add 945 field (p-manage-21)
10. Create items and holdings (p-manage-50)
11. Copy URLs to a file (p-manage-55)
12. Run report of titles loaded with system numbers (p-print-03)
13. Append URLs from step 11 to holdings records (p-manage-18)
14. Download output files to local server for record-keeping
30. The Problem:
◦ Process was time-consuming and tedious – for each Aleph
service:
Copying, pasting, and typing into the GUI
In some cases, running the service twice, first to see
results report, second to update the database
Work on the command line to check files in between
steps
Further checks provided by running first in the test
database, then in production
31. The Solutions:
◦ Instead of different fix routines for each
collection to correct vendor-specific record errors
- Strategy developed to check records and correct
errors using MarcEdit
** Kudos to our colleague Sherry Williams
◦ Instead of a new collection code for each vendor
- Used the 945 field to identify vendors and
collections
33. Check for fields: Examination of fields
◦ 001 (control #) = 363 ◦ Diacritics =yes
◦ 050/090 = call numbers have “eb” at
◦ 003 (control #)= 363 the end
◦ 008 (fixed data) = 363 ◦ 856 40 =219
◦ 035a (OCLC)= 363 ◦ 856 48 =144
◦ 050 (call no.)= 363 ◦ 650 0 =most only have $a
◦ 245## (title)= 363
Changes made
◦ 245 [h] (GMD)= 362
◦ Replaced: 856 48 with 856 40
◦ 260 (publishing)= 363
◦ Deleted: “eb” from call numbers
◦ 300 (extent)= 363 ◦ Added $zOnline Access – Unlimited
◦ 490 (series)= 287 users to the 856 fields
◦ 505 (contents)= 355
◦ 650 (subject headings)= 363
Question
◦ Finding the PDF is not very
◦ 830 (series)= 287 obvious, since it requires more than
◦ 8564#(URL)= 363 one click, should there be a
directional note added?
