Abstract

ABSTRACT Library staff at California State University, Fullerton carried out a project to determine where budget cuts could be made in their electronic journal subscriptions. The team analyzed usage statistics by journal title, determined pricing for each journal, and created a formula to clearly define the cost effectiveness of continuing or deactivating a subscription. In this presentation, Keri Prelitz and Greg Yorba, with contributions from Ilda Cardenas, explain the special considerations, challenges, and outcomes of the project. Using this information, they will repeat the analysis annually, especially in the wake of additional budget cuts due to the current COVID-19 pandemic.

衡量两次，削减一次:预算削减如何影响订阅续订

加州州立大学富勒顿分校的图书馆工作人员开展了一个项目，以确定他们的电子期刊订阅可以削减哪些预算。该团队分析了期刊名称的使用统计数据，确定了每种期刊的定价，并创建了一个公式来明确定义继续或取消订阅的成本效益。在本次演讲中，Keri Prelitz和Greg Yorba以及Ilda Cardenas解释了项目的特殊考虑、挑战和结果。利用这些信息，他们将每年重复分析，特别是在当前COVID-19大流行导致预算进一步削减之后。

期刊介绍： The Serials Librarian is an international journal covering all aspects of the management of serials and other continuing resources in any format—print, electronic, etc.—ranging from their publication, to their abstracting and indexing by commercial services, and their collection and processing by libraries. The journal provides a forum for discussion and innovation for all those involved in the serials information chain, but especially for librarians and other library staff, be they in a single (continuing resources) department or in collection development, acquisitions, cataloging/metadata, or information technology departments.
