VISION SESSION 2
Measuring the Value of the Academic Library: Return on Investment and Other Value Measures
Presenter: Carol Tenopir, University of Tennessee, School of Information Sciences
Room: Grand Ballroom
Carol’s talk “Measuring the Value of the Academic Library: Return on Investment and Other Value Measures” will draw on her recent work on measures of cost and the multiple values of library collections and services, in the United States and other countries. Carol says “In the past, the value of the library to the institution was assumed. Today, libraries of all types are asked to demonstrate the value of the library to its constituents and the return that is realized from funders’ investment in the library. Several prominent return on investment (ROI) studies have been conducted in special libraries and public libraries, but both the investments and returns are different for academic libraries. Academic libraries bring direct monetary return in helping faculty attract grant funding, in addition to many downstream returns in terms of faculty and student success and loyalty. This talk will describe a three-phase project that brings together library researchers, organizations that work with libraries, and university libraries in 8 countries to explore ROI in academic libraries.”

STRATEGY SESSIONS GROUP B
Strategy-B1
Playing the Field: Pay-Per-View E-journals and E-books
Presenters: Lindsey Schell, University of Texas Libraries Katy Ginanni, Trinity University; Benjamin Heet, University of Notre Dame
Room: Grand Ballroom, Salon A
User-driven, pay-per-view models for both e-journals and e-books are an emerging and attractive option for libraries facing budget cuts. Representatives from University of Notre Dame, Trinity University and University of Texas at Austin discuss experiences with a range of PPV vendors including EBL, EBSCO, Elsevier, Infotrieve, Ingenta, Highwire, Springer and Swets.
Strategy-B2
Usage of Open Access Journals: Findings from Top 11 Science and Medical Journals
Presenters: Jayati Chaudhuri, University of Northern Colorado; Mariyam Thohira, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
Room: Grand Ballroom, Salon B
It is believed that open access will allow greater use of research findings, granting more people to participate and contribute to scientific knowledge. However, has the open access movement really increased the use of access? The authors of this study focused on determining usage pattern of open access and hybrid open access journals in today’s scholarly publications. Authors have reviewed more than 1100 citations from 11 top science and medical journals from 2004, 2006 and 2008. These highly impacted 11 journals include 8 traditional, 1 open access, and 2 hybrid open access journals; namely Nature, Science, PNAS, JAMA, New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Chemical Society, Journal of the American Mathematical Society etc. In most cases, the data shows that the usage of open access journals are more in recent years than it was in 2004. Same trend has been found for both traditional and open access journals. This study is targeted to academic and public libraries and also to the publishers that has been following and/or participating in the open access movement.
Strategy-B3
ERMS Integration Strategies: Opportunity, Challenge or Promise?
Moderator: Bob McQuillan, Innovative Interfaces
Panelists: Karl Maria Fattig, Bowdoin College; Christine Stamison, Swets; and Rebecca Kemp, The University of North Carolina at Wilmington
Room: Grand Ballroom, Salon C
ERM systems are creating a new set of opportunities and challenges for library workflows, staffing and budgets as digital content continues to push into the information pipeline traditionally dominated by printed materials. This session will provide insights from three panelists in the library and vendor community who will discuss current issues and also share their strategies on meeting long-term objectives. Topics would include how libraries are: (1) prioritizing budgets for electronic resources versus printed materials, (2) allocating, integrating, and/or replacing staff within the library workflow, (4) harvesting usage statistics and how collection development staff are making use of same, and (5) defining the future role of ERM for their respective libraries (e.g., budgeting, consortia, etc.).

Piloting an E-Journals Preservation Registry Service – PEPRS
Presenters: Fred Guy, EDINA; Peter Burnhill, Director, EDINA National Data Centre & Head, Data Library
Room: Alexander Room (2nd floor)
The requirement that the content of scholarly journals in digital format is preserved for long term access is now generally recognised and the emergence of archiving services, such as represented by CLOCKSS, LOCKSS, Portico and various national library deposit schemes, has been a critical development. The work of these various organizations, taken together, is providing a solid basis for advances. Identifying long term preservation activities with specific e-journals involves all users, however, in seeking information directly from agencies. A means of finding out such information from central sources and services is seen as a key advance. Piloting an E-journals Preservation Registry Service (PEPRS) is a 24 month project which commenced in August 2008. It is funded by the UK Joint Information Services Committee (JISC) and is led by EDINA, a national data centre, based at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. A major output from the Project will be the building of an EJ Preservation Registry which will form a key component for a preservation service. The ISSN Register, a database created and maintained on behalf of ISSN agencies throughout the world by the ISSN International Centre in Paris, France will be a key source of information on e-journals. The ISSN IC is a partner in this project. Contact will be made with the important archiving institutions, identifying and defining metadata and data flows and in particular the metadata and data flows critical to the development of a preservation service.

STRATEGY SESSIONS GROUP C
Strategy-C1
Informing Licensing Stakeholders: Towards a More Effective Negotiation
Presenters: Lisa Sibert, University of California Irvine; Micheline Westfall, University of Tennessee, Knoxville; Selden Lamoureux,, North Carolina State University, Clint Chamberlain, University of Texas; Vida Damijonaitis, American Medical Association; Brett Rubinstein, Springer
Room: Grand Ballroom, Salon C
As publishers and vendors offer more electronic resources, the number of licenses that have to be negotiated and executed increase proportionally. Libraries and publishers often have conflicting goals, making the successful outcome of a license negotiation difficult to obtain. A small group of licensing professionals will gather for a frank, open discussion of the terms and conditions that are important to each side, thereby opening the channel of communication on a larger scale. The discussion panel will consist of two academic librarians, one to two publisher representatives, and members of the SERU Working Group. The goal of the session is for each side to come away with a greater understanding of the other's positions on key license points, as well as some strategies for arriving at compromises. The mission of SERU will also be discussed and promoted, by creating more awareness on both sides of the table of the existence and usefulness of SERU as an alternative to the cumbersome license negotiation process.
Strategy-C2
NELLCO's Universal Search Solution (USS)
Presenter: Roberta Woods, NELLCO.
Room: Grand Ballroom, Salon B
Electronic library resources including library OPACs and A-Z lists offer an increasing number of digital resources for library patrons to search. However, each resource has its own proprietary search engine making discovery of content contained in proprietary databases haphazard at best. Although federated search promised to answer this discovery problem, it failed to live up to its promise. The Universal Search Solution (U) is a response to the shortcomings of the federated search solutions on the market. In December 2007, the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded a National Leadership Grant to NELLCO (New England Law Library Consortium) to develop the U, an open standards, open source software solution. The U is an index of content stored in proprietary databases like HeinOnline, vetted free websites, the library's OPAC, local electronic content and other e-content that a participating library wishes to make discoverable to researchers. In March 2009, NELLCO pushed the U out to 27 participating libraries for beta testing. This presentation begins with why the legal information community needed this solution through the development phase in which a committee of law librarians, a vendor representative and the software developer worked together to create the U, and the double authentication necessary for patrons to discover and access content. Live searching and a peek "under the hood" at the administrative modules will be shown. Anyone wishing to try the U can access it by logging in with the username/password: Guest/Guest at http://www.nellco.org/index.cfm?pageId=505&parentID=504.
Strategy-C3
Chicago Collaborative
Presenter: Patricia Thibodeau, Duke University Medical Center Library & Archives; John Tagler, Association of American Publishers/Professional & Scholarly Publishing
Room: Alexander Room (2nd floor)
The Chicago Collaborative is a dialogue between representatives from the Association of Academic Health Sciences Librarians and STM publishers’ and editors’ associations. Learn about the inception, birth, and future of this new initiative and why the Collaborative believes partnerships between librarians, publishers, and editors are important. Common concerns will be presented, such as the future of the journal, scientific misconduct, archiving, and branding. There will be an opportunity to ask questions about the Collaborative and its plans.
Strategy-C4
Not Just Drifting: Checking Online Serial Issue Availability
Presenter: Kitti Canepi and Andrea Imre, Southern Illinois University Carbondale; Katharina Klemperer, Harrassowitz
Room: Grand Ballroom, Salon A
Many librarians are hoping that the ONIX for Serials XML formats, particularly Serials Online Holdings (SOH) and Serials Release Notification (SRN), will enable automated tracking of online serial issue availability. Pilot versions were being tested and tweaked even as this proposal was being written, but librarians have not just been sitting idle waiting for automation to arrive, hoping that our users are able to access the content for which we have paid. This program will share survey results about what some libraries are doing to check online availability; offer some insight into the potential with the ONIX for Serials standards; and propose what might need to be done to bring the potential to reality.
Strategy C5
Open Forum: The Future of Library Systems
Moderator: Maria Collins, North Carolina State University
Room: Victoria Room (2nd Floor)
Join your NASIG colleagues discussing new options for ILS provision from open source providers, OCLC, and the Open Library Environment (OLE) Project. The discussion will center on what is available, what people think are the greatest potential with these options, and what are the biggest challenges. Come and brainstorm some possible serial futures in an open-source or cooperative processing environment. How can we best take serials management into the cloud-computing and distributed networks of the near future?
