Welcome and Vision Session: Tribal Sovereignty and Self-Determination in Libraries and Archives
Tuesday October 15, 2024 2:00pm - 2:50pm EDT
ZOOM (see attendee email for the day's link)
Tribal librarians are knowledge keepers; tribal libraries are primary sources of cultural learning that support tribal communities in a good way. Libraries that belong to the people and tribal librarians are at the forefront of ensuring tribal language cultivation, celebrating the oral storytelling tradition, intergenerational learning, and ensuring literacy for all generations. Tribal archives preserve tribal history, ancestral knowledge, and the words and voices of community members for research and preservation of knowledge. This keynote offers best practices on how to best serve Native populations, provide culturally responsive care for Native American cultural materials, and build relationships with tribal librarians and archivists.

Leveraging the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) for Strategic Library and Institutional Decision-Making
Tuesday October 15, 2024 3:00pm - 3:30pm EDT
ZOOM (see attendee email for the day's link)
Leveraging the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) for Strategic Library and Institutional Decision-Making

The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) is a curated database comprising over 20,800 peer-reviewed open-access journals. Its mission is to enhance the visibility, impact, and profile of high-quality open-access journals on a global scale, irrespective of discipline, geographic location, or language. All services and metadata provided by the DOAJ are available free of charge. In this presentation, I will discuss various strategies by which libraries and institutions can leverage DOAJ data for informed decision-making in their operational activities. These strategies include advising researchers on publication options, integrating content into library search systems, allocating funding, and conducting quality assessments.

Medium Sessions: Core Competencies and Acquisitions Job Ads: How Well Do They Match?; Workflows, workarounds, and workouts: Successful cataloging from a distance
Tuesday October 15, 2024 3:40pm - 4:20pm EDT
ZOOM (see attendee email for the day's link)
1. Core Competencies and Acquisitions Job Ads: How Well Do They Match?

Core competencies provide a baseline understanding of the knowledge, skills, and abilities that practitioners should have, and are especially important in rapidly changing fields. NASIG first approved the Core Competencies for Electronic Resources Librarians in 2013, and those for Print Serials Management in 2015. A key component of Serials and Electronic Resources work is acquisitions; the other competency statements for acquisitions were developed by ALCTS in 2018. Do these competencies still reflect the needs of acquisitions leaders in academic libraries? The researchers have begun collecting recent job advertisements to analyze which competencies are most included and whether there are gaps to address.


2. Workflows, workarounds, and workouts: Successful cataloging from a distance

Stockton University’s Richard E. Bjork Library will be undergoing a massive renovation, displacing everyone in the library for at least 2 years. Library departments have started to move into various classrooms all over the main campus while Library Administration and the Metadata Librarian have been “housed” in a small ranch-style home over 2 miles away from the main campus. This presentation will highlight the early attempts to stay connected and revise workflows, despite being physically apart from the rest of the cataloging staff.

Video Stream (log into Sched to view link)
While it may be a portion of the story, having readily available charts showing 1) database usage, 2) year-to-year cost, 3) percentage changes, and 4) cost per use to share with library stakeholders can make all the difference when decision-making for renewals or communicating trends. If you’re already spending lots of time with Excel, why not gather it together there? This session intends to show how to set up a master data table in Excel, create PivotTables and PivotCharts, and add a unifying slicer to help see with a one-click view the four data points over multiple years.

From APC funds to Open Investments: Coastal Carolina University's journey to support Open Access
Tuesday October 15, 2024 5:00pm - 6:00pm EDT
Video Stream (log into Sched to view link)
Is your library looking for alternatives to support open access publishing beyond directly underwriting APC charges for your faculty? Are you considering open investment opportunities for publishing e-books? CCU University Libraries recently identified several memberships and initiatives that changed our open access initiatives to not only support our own faculty's scholarly publishing, but to support broader open access for all scholars.
This presentation will discuss the various methods used at CCU to expand and support open access publishing, including an institutional APC fund, the move to open investments, targeting specific journal and e-book publishers that support our faculty's research, successes and challenges, and next steps.

Video Stream (log into Sched to view link)
Staff from the Illinois Open Publishing Network (IOPN) at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign will share two case studies about onboarding journals. The first case involves a journal led by students with limited understanding of copyright and Creative Commons licensing. The second case concerns a faculty-led journal that resurfaced after a two-year lapse in communication. Both journals were eager to move forward, but our team’s efforts were often met with long periods of silence and expressions of frustration from editors. This presentation will detail how we resolved these issues and ensured the journals met standards required by our institution and indexers before going live.

Medium Sessions: Natural Language Processing and serials cataloging : an assisting perspective; Enhance! : Using Google Keep and Notepad++ to Automate Enhanced Contents Notes for a Large Scale Journal Cleanup
Wednesday October 16, 2024 3:10pm - 3:50pm EDT
ZOOM (see attendee email for the day's link)
1. Natural Language Processing and serials cataloging : an assisting perspective

What is under the umbrella of AI can really be a starting point in terms of assisting in serials description/cataloging? The complexity and different cases of serials nature, make it very difficult to rely on specific patterns that can be fed into an artificial intelligence model, in the context of teaching or training others on how to catalog a serial. On the other hand creating a trained chat bot on assisting in the basics of serials cataloging, with a serial expert, is something could be helpful. In this session I will present a chat bot I created and trained, for the purpose of the above.


2. Enhance! : Using Google Keep and Notepad++ to Automate Enhanced Contents Notes for a Large Scale Journal Cleanup

In summer of 2024, our cataloging department began work on a large-scale periodicals project requiring the recataloging, relabeling, and barcoding of roughly 12,000 volumes. To assist with the sheer quantity of materials, we cross-trained colleagues from other departments to manage the more straightforward journals, but this still left a large number of monographic series. To comply with our standards for bibliographic records, each item in these multi-author series would require enhanced 505 contents notes. By employing Google Keep for OCR and creating macros in Notepad++, we have streamlined this process to generate in five minutes what used to take twenty.

From Complexity to Clarity: Streamlining Acquisitions Fund Structures at the University of Arkansas Libraries
Wednesday October 16, 2024 4:40pm - 5:00pm EDT
ZOOM (see attendee email for the day's link)
This case study details the University of Arkansas Libraries' initiative to restructure and flatten its library acquisitions fund model, reducing 370 funds and ledgers to under 85. This effort supports near-real-time financial insights via data dashboards within Alma Analytics and improves collection decision-making by enabling tracking of library expenditures in ways that better align with our collection development strategies. Extensive planning, stakeholder engagement, and a thorough review and updating of acquisitions policies and procedures were crucial to the project's success. The restructuring leverages iterative, project-based strategies, supported by detailed documentation, laying the groundwork for future acquisitions integrations with the campus procurement system.

Leveraging Generative AI to Support Electronic Resources Acquisition
Wednesday October 16, 2024 5:00pm - 6:00pm EDT
Video Stream (log into Sched to view link)
Among many electronic resources acquisition tasks, ensuring accurate titles for what libraries pay for involves comparing lists from publishers, previous years, and subscription agents. However, discrepancies within these lists pose a challenge, often requiring time-consuming manual comparison. To address this issue, the presenter envisioned developing a tool capable of efficiently comparing title lists and generating differential outputs. Crucially, they aimed to design the tool with user-friendliness in mind, making it accessible to colleagues with varying levels of technical expertise.
By harnessing the capabilities of ChatGPT/Copilot, they developed a user-friendly tool capable of automating reconciliation tasks. This tool simplifies the comparison process, enabling swift identification of differences between title lists. Its intuitive interface ensures ease of use for all users, regardless of their programming knowledge or experience.

Nothing New but Better -- Adapting Pre-coordinated Subject Headings for Digital Collections
Wednesday October 16, 2024 5:00pm - 6:00pm EDT
Video Stream (log into Sched to view link)
Since the 1990s, pre-coordinated subject headings—long text strings comprising individual terms connected by double dashes (--) in the order of [topic] -- [place] -- [chronology] -- [form]—have been created in MARC records. Although these headings have been well-retained in the MARC environment, they introduce multiple discovery challenges in digital collections, where records are aggregated from both MARC and non-MARC environments. This session outlines the issues identified in the Florida Digital Digital Collections, details the workflow used to address them with MarcEdit and OpenRefine (two free data tools), and advocates for cataloging practices that consider needs beyond the original environment.

Evaluating Prospective Vendor Partners at a Library Consortium
Thursday October 17, 2024 4:30pm - 4:50pm EDT
ZOOM (see attendee email for the day's link)
New vendors regularly enter the market, and libraries need their consortia to help vet these new companies and products and negotiate library-friendly licensing and pricing. But how do library consortia identify vendors with which to partner? How do consortia vet these vendors and make decisions? What considerations come into play? In this session, two consortium strategists will present and discuss a new evaluative framework developed at Lyrasis to vet and select new vendor partners transparently, consistently, and strategically. The speakers will also share anonymized case studies of vendors evaluated in 2024.
