Zhang, Peter; Zmau, Ashley
With a flat budget and ever increasing inflation for serials, UTA Libraries chose to embark on a multi-year electronic resources review process. Targeting low hanging fruits, the first step was to review subscription journals included in aggregator databases. This initial review process was also a relatively straightforward step to help new liaisons in a newly created Outreach & Scholarship department to get their “feet wet” with collection development. As liaisons become more acclimated, the second step in the following year is to review all single e-journal subscriptions, distributed amongst all liaisons. Guidelines and metrics are created to facilitate the review in addition to liaisons’ empirical knowledge through their engagement with users. The third step is to review all databases and sustain a regular database review interval going forward. In the presentation, we will share with you our findings, guidelines, and metrics of the process.

Zhang, Peter
Facing a 72% cut in our monographic acquisitions budget in FY13-14, UT Arlington Libraries turned a crisis into an opportunity. We examined print monographs’ circulation data and discovered the hard truth that the “just-in-case” acquisition model is neither sustainable nor serving our users well. Subsequently, our approval plan was put on a virtual mode: no more approval book shipments. We implemented demand-driven acquisition (DDA) programs for both electronic and print books and put broader patron-driven acquisition (PDA) programs in place to meet our users’ needs.
