The document discusses strategies for collection development and acquisitions in academic libraries facing budget cuts, including developing approval plans, moving standing orders to approval processing, patron-driven acquisitions of books and articles, and print-on-demand. It also describes the University of Georgia Libraries' experience cancelling 700 journals worth $650,000 to address a $1 million budget shortfall, including how they gathered and analyzed subscription, usage, and other data to inform cancellation decisions and develop an online "Journal List" tool to manage serials collection data.

Notas do Editor
- Activity focused mostly in collection development but acquisitions staff needed to supply some base information such as the identification of imprints from any given publisher.
- Takes some manipulations of given selection tools & ILS but can be massaged into working relatively smoothly from the point of order thru the point of receipt. Cuts down on the number of hands having to touch a single order/title and installs more of a review/preview function. This is very close to becoming a reality of single title management. Bear in mind that many of the complications regarding the management of this type of ordering/receipt is usually locally defined and created.
- Important to select staff who are detail oriented and can recognize when machine-readable data is not being machine read or processed. It’s also important to have staff who are capable of complex file management in regards to sorting & exporting utilizing various files types (doc, spreadsheet, etc.) as needed.
- Within the big deals & packages, it is possible to renegotiate to add in PPV as an option to help reduce the overall spend. This does mean the loss of ownership and perpetual access of some titles so this goes back to having a core title list developed even of titles in packages.
- This is accomplished in part from harvesting data from Voyager using MS Access reporting feature and the massaging the data elements gathered into a table. The most obvious match point is ISSN but this can be complicated as explained in a few moments.
- Launch page for the Journal List. Access is IP authenticated. There are three views = Public, Selector, and Admin which is determined by user’s IP address. Users can browse or search to retrieve journal data.
- Icons displaying beneath title link to various applications. There are 6 available cancellation status options. Fund/fund owner is sortable. Full text views are for previous calendar year. Cost per view data is not available for every title due to billing inconsistencies. Cost or payment displays current price information from our ILS. Publisher and Package name data imported from EbscoNet.
- A cancellation status of 0 indicates a title is part of a non-cancellable publisher package – a selector cannot change this cancellation status. A cancellation status of 2 indicates no decision made. The triangle to the right links to a utility that allows the selector to assign a different cancellation status. (do not cancel; to be cancelled; etc….)
- Utility to change cancellation status.
- This slide shows functionality to sort by package name – Elsevier Freedom Collection.
- This slide shows sort by fund/fund owner.
- The orange swirl icon links directly to Journal Citation reports via ISSN matching.
- Because this is a locally developed utility, we can add new functionality in a timely fashion. Our developer recently added two new icons. One for update usage summary data and one for electronic ILL rights.. (see next two slides)
- Updated usage summary data.
- ILL electronic lending information.
- More about warehousing the license completely and pulling out phrases such to indicate key elements such as ILL lending.
