VISION SESSION 2
Publishing 2.0: How the Internet Changes Publications in Society
Presenter: Kent Anderson, JBJS, Inc
Room: Salon D&E
The digital revolution is changing how people consume information, how they expect to interact with it, and what it can consist of. Publications as packages are going to fundamentally change. This talk provides an overview of how these changes are likely to occur, how the mission of scholarship remains unchanged even as the means to achieve it are radically altered, and how publishers must reinvent themselves to meet these new opportunities

STRATEGY SESSIONS GROUP B
Strategy B-1
Evaluating Usage of Non-Text Resources: What the COUNTER Statistics Don’t Tell You
Presenters: Stephanie Krueger, ARTstor and Tammy S. Sugarman, Georgia State University
Room: Salon A-C
In this era of tightening budgets, librarians are increasingly turning to usage data from licensed resource providers to support difficult collection development decisions. The most recent release of the COUNTER code of practice for usage data reporting and the SUSHI XML protocol further support this decision-making process. Providing "COUNTER compliant" usage reports is an increasingly important feature expected of licensed digital materials by academic libraries. COUNTER reports are designed to primarily measure usage of textual resources such as: journals, e-books and database indexes. However, for multimedia resources that contain exclusively images, time-based media, or audio content, the usage patterns and terminology are different than textual materials. The COUNTER reports do not yet adequately address these differences. The purpose of this session is to explore the unique needs and challenges of reporting and effectively evaluating the usage of multimedia resources. It will look at some of the gaps in the existing COUNTER code of practice that would need to be addressed in order for multimedia resources to adopt these reporting standards and perform a similarly useful assessment function for libraries. It also will discuss some of the complexities of multimedia resource usage, including the challenge of evaluating the substantial use that occurs outside of the measurable environment, and measuring the new types of use made possible by robust online environments. This session will include a presentation by Stephanie Krueger, Associate Director of Library Relations for ARTstor, and Tammy S. Sugarman, Associate University Librarian for Georgia State University, will speak on how these issues affect her ability to assess the value of non-text resources
Strategy B-2
Transparency and Publisher Pricing Models
Presenters: Kate Moore, Indiana University Southeast and Lori Duggan, Indiana University
Room: Salon 4
In this session, we will present our findings from a study conducted exploring the amount of publicly available information on publishers' websites concerning pricing models for databases and large journal bundles. The information collected in this study includes: whether or not the publisher provides a method for database price calculation; the pricing structure used; the price for their databases; whether or not consortial pricing is available and the applicable discounts; whether any other type of discount is available; and if confidentiality clauses are required (in the standard license, if available). Conclusions will be drawn from the data collected during the study, including the need for greater transparency in publisher pricing and differences found between different types of publishers. Also discussed will be the effects of nontransparent publisher pricing for consortia and academic institutions. The presenters will close with precautionary measures to undertake when reviewing licenses and purchase orders from publishers with less than forthcoming pricing information.
Strategy B-3
When Jobs Disappear: The Staffing Implications of the Elimination of Print Serials Management Tasks
Presenters: Sarah Glasser, Hofstra University
Room: Salon 5
This presentation will report the findings of a survey exploring what happened to jobs that were eliminated or phased out as a result of significant reductions in print serials management tasks such as claiming, check-in, binding and open stacks maintenance.

STRATEGY SESSIONS GROUP C
Strategy C-1
Biomedical Publishing 101: An Overview from the Chicago Collaborative
Presenters: John Tagler, Association of American Publishers; John Shaw, Sage Publications
Room: Salon A-C
The program is an opportunity to learn about the publishing cycle of scientific, technical and medical journals, both in print and online. Presenters will explore the role of publishers in the scholarly communication process. Participants will gain knowledge of the various roles and responsibilities of different players in the scientific publishing chain. The complexities of publishing in a dual format will be explored, and the international aspects of science communication will be addressed. The worlds of print and digital delivery will be compared and contrasted. The program is created by the Chicago Collaborative in a joint effort by librarians and publishers to bring better understanding and appreciation of each others' contribution to the scholarly communication process.
Strategy C-2
CONSER Update
Presenters: Les Hawkins, Library of Congress; Hien Nguyen, Library of Congress; and Adolfo Tarango, University of California, San Diego
Room: Salon F-H
CONSER members have discussed the application of Functional Requirements of Bibliographic Records (FRBR) to continuing resource cataloging since 2002 and have reviewed drafts of RDA since 2005 (then called AACR3). With the implementation of RDA just around the corner, this session will lay out key decisions and challenges that CONSER has identified in implementing the newcode and practical considerations involved with changing documentation and meeting training needs. The session will include presentation of a model that takes advantage of FRBR to provide meaningful displays of metadata for continuing resources in the future.
Strategy C-3
ERMs and Impact on Technical Services
Panelists: Deberah England, Wright State University and Sharon Purtee, University of Cincinnati and Angela Riggio, UCLA
Moderator: Susan M. Banoun, University of Cincinnati
Room: Salon 4
A panel discussion of ERMs and the impact on the organization of Technical Services, with panelists from various sizes and types of institutions. ERMs are being bought, installed and implemented at many institutions but how is the work to implement and use ERMs absorbed? Do libraries manage with existing, different, more or less staff? Does the staffing level and organization of Technical Services departments impact the success of ERM implementation? At the University of Cincinnati, we reorganized soon after the installation of the ERM and hired a Beginning Electronic Resources librarian. Other institutions may have similar or different experiences. We will discuss the results of an online survey that assesses impact of ERMs on Technical Services organization, experiences and organization of staff, and management of workflows.
Strategy C-4
What to Withdraw? Grappling with Print Collections Management in the Wake of Digitization
Presenter: Roger C. Schonfeld, ITHAKA
Room: Salon 5
As digitized journal backfile sets become available online, they fulfill the lion’s share of user access needs, leading many librarians to call into question the need to retain print. Can libraries securely reassign the stack space occupied by disused print versions without risking preservation? How can librarians feel confident in the choices for withdrawal they make? To empower libraries to take a more confident approach to print collections management, this talk will examine how to develop an adequate preservation infrastructure. How does print preservation still matter and for how long will it remain a relevant priority? What sort of preservation framework is needed for legacy print collections? And, for which journals is this preservation framework already in place, allowing for responsible withdrawal today? Drawing from a report recently released by Ithaka S+R, this talk will conclude with some remarks about how the set of materials appropriate for withdrawal can be expanded to allow libraries additional flexibility in their collections management.

6. NISO ERM Data Standards and Best Practices Review Group
Room: Salon 6-8
Facilitator: Angela Riggio, UCLA, and Jeff Aipperspach, Serials Solutions)
The NISO group is working to "describe typical challenges libraries face in using currently available ERM systems and services, and identify gaps in interoperability and best practices" (NISO ERM Data Standards and Best Practices Review Charge, 12/22/09).
7. ONIX-PL: What, Why, How
Room: Salon 1-2
Facilitator: Selden Durgom Lamoureux, North Carolina State University
A brief description of what ONIX-PL is (and isn't), why it could be useful, and how to move it from a great idea to a working standard. There will be sample licenses and a short interactive exercise in applying the ONIX-PL schema. This is also an opportunity to test interest in forming a small, international group to apply the schema to a core set of licenses. (Somewhat like the cooperative for creating MARC records (but on much smaller scale!) with the intention of sharing the work and the results)
8. Rx for Change: Calculating the Dosage and Handling the Side-Effects
Room: Las Flores Building, Jasmine
Facilitator: Lisa Blackwell, Nationwide Children’s Hospital)
Join us for a round-table discussion of the many issues facing those of us working in medical librarianship. Whether you hold a position in an academic health sciences library, hospital, nursing college or a private health related company library you are facing many challenges, some of which are unique to the environment. Discussion topics may include:
• I’m struggling to master new technologies to meet the demands of my clients who want their information delivered in non-traditional ways. Do I podcast, webcast, create PDA feeds or what? And just where do I get the technical and financial support to master these methods?!
• I’m facing constant changes in how to search our primary databases – the life’s blood of information to support patient care and medical research. How do I remain proficient while I’m also managing the collection, completing research requests, marketing the library, evaluating usage stats, and whatever else administrators demand?
• Where is my staff? The job is growing but my staff is shrinking and we aren’t adding any professional librarian positions. How do I cope?
• My library is an institutional archive for our unique subject collection. The depository is out of space! What do I do with the collection when administration cuts the library space?
• I’m supposed to justify my library’s existence using the balanced scorecard – help!
• Workflows are exponentially increasingly focused on handling electronic resources. How do I maximize and grow my paraprofessionals’ skills when their traditional tasks disappear?
Come and join us for a stimulating discussion where we can share what we are doing, what we have learned, and just where we think we’d better be prepared to demonstrate competency now and in the very new future.

13. Strategic Planning for Print: Collecting, Collections Management, and Preservation
Room: Salon 3
Facilitator: Roger Schonfeld, Ithaka S+R
Even as our attention and resources migrate towards electronic serials, the future of print collecting and collections deserves strategic attention. As numerous libraries wind down their print journals collecting, will publishers wind down their print publishing programs? What would this mean for access and preservation at my library? Does Ithaka S+R’s What to Withdraw framework have any relevance to me and my colleagues? How can we make collections management choices in partnership with faculty members? This discussion group will offer the opportunity to examine these questions and others related to strategic planning for print collecting and collections.
