Error during command authentication.

Error - unable to initiate communication with LISTSERV (errno=10061, phase=CONNECT, target=127.0.0.1:2306). The server is probably not started.

I think the curatorial staff have a large role to play in book selection, data base selection, etc.  However, there are areas of the collection that need to be built up as well, so input from the librarian is essential.  At the moment I have a budget item for general collection development, plus budget items for all the different departments of the museum.  They go hand in hand.  sac

Thanks so much for the explanation.  We have a representative from YBP coming tomorrow to talk about this at the U of Pgh.  My questions have to do with e-books in the field of art and architectural history, including such types of publications as exhibition catalogs, foreign laguage materials and contemporary art, which in our program, is global in scale - most espeically in Chinese and African and Indian modern and contemporary art and architecture.  Printed images are still better quality than digital images for art historical scholars.  Often those images are not available electronically due to copyright restrictions.  With e-journals in our fields, some images appear in the e-journals, some do not.  We do not have color printers in any of our libraries either.  Certain types of materials are crucial to the study fo global contemporary art and are not carried  by YBP - like _most_ (not all)  interntional biennial or triennial exhibition catalogs - including those from such countries as China and others around the globe.
 
Some fields are not well served by e-books!  Other fields are served well by them.

All,

"Collaborative collection management" is what I call collaborating with experts (designers, professors, curators, etc) to make collections decisions. I highly value my users input and in turn, they highly value their library and its resources. However, 'demand-driven acquisitions' is something entirely different which relates to purchasing discovery records for books before actually purchasing books…so as to let the users and their wants/needs dictate the purchase (or non-purchase) of new e-publications. See below (which has been copied/pasted from: http://www.ybp.com/DigitalContent/demand_driven_acquisitions.html).

Libraries are able to use their profiles to designate subject areas for inclusion in their demand-driven plan. On a weekly basis, YBP supplies discovery records for digital titles that match profiles in order to build a growing "consideration pool" of eligible titles. Patrons may find the records in the library's catalog, and the embedded URL directs them to our aggregator partners' portals for free browsing, short-term loans and purchases.
Key Features of DDA Service:
  • Content available from EBL or ebrary
  • Expanding database of appropriate content using YBP profiling methodology
  • Duplication control between digital and print editions and against current holdings
  • Titles designated for demand-driven acquisitions are noted in GOBI
  • Discovery and point of purchase records
  • Free browse period for digital content
  • Short-term loans
  • Mediated or non-mediated option available
  • YBP invoicing for short-term loans and purchases
  • Usage statistics and analysis

Here at PCA&D I have always welcomed suggestions from faculty, students and staff.  We have a process in place that anybody can suggest a purchase by submitting an electronic form for that particular request. However, any and all requests in the end have to adhere to the Collection Development policy in place.  This weeds out any requests that come from left field.

BTW--I have never had to turn anybody down.  I get great suggestions.

This seems to me very similar to putting children in charge of buying a families food for a month in whatever store they wish to shop in. It appears to be the antithesis of collection development, leaving little left but collection management. And managers ALWAYS report to someone further up the food chain.

Hi Leslie -- You mentioned that UCSD reference is evolving towards a predominantly e service...  Can you tell us if their own librarians are handling e-reference, or if they've contracted with an outside service?  Also, is the UC's examination of participatory librarianship an institution-driven or library-driven decision?

To everyone on the list...  I'd be curious to know what other institutions are seriously considering, or opting for, participatory librarianship.  Is anyone else willing to share on this topic?

The U California library system is also looking at these same issues. Currently in place is system-wide chat reference, and at UCSD reference is definitely evolving towards a predominantly e service. As a selector, I do consider whether a book might be acquired as a e-book, but I too am often not satisfied with the quality of images, or in some cases the lack of images, so almost always opt to buy the print version. I still have the authority to make this choice, at least for now!

Dear Colleagues,

Our library system is moving inot what is being called "participatory librarianship" this year.  All kinfds of changes will be made.  Including user driven materials selection and, as I understand it, removal of reference desks, etc.  More purchasing of e-books.  I have refused to purvchase e-art books due to images or lack thereof.  Are any of the rest of myou going through this?

Thansk so much for your comments both pro and con.

Yours, Ray Anne Lockard
