Abstract

Abstract Like many academic librarians, St. Norbert College collection librarians have been trying to find the right configuration of e-book acquisition strategies to meet our users’ needs. Since 2017, St. Norbert’s strategy had been a combination of a subscription to a large vendor package, multiple evidence-based acquisition (EBA) programs, and one-time orders of e-books purchased as a part of faculty departmental requests. In Fall 2018, St. Norbert Library started a partnership with the campus bookstore, began receiving the list of course adopted texts (CATs), and launched a new and parallel e-book strategy of purchasing unlimited access e-books for CATs. This study provides data on the reach and growth of St. Norbert Library’s CATs e-books program, including the number of courses and types of courses affected by library supplied CATs e-books, and the types and publishers of library supplied CATs. As the CATs program grew so did the costs to support it and St. Norbert determined to investigate the usage of the CATs e-books compared to its concurrently licensed EBA content and evaluate the compatibility and sustainability of its CATs and EBA programs. Discussions detail why St. Norbert came to value CATs e-books over EBA e-books, how, despite the potential for symbiosis, St. Nobert’s determined its EBAs to be incompatible with its CATs program, and why the St. Norbert Library decided not to continue both the EBA and the CATs programs. Conclusions discuss CATs e-book successes and how developing, sustaining, and continuing to evolve the CATs e-book program has been integral to St. Norbert Library’s collection moving in new strategic directions.

优先次序的转变：一个课程采用文本（CAT）电子书计划及其成功如何实现一个图书馆的电子书收藏优先次序

与许多学术图书馆员一样，圣诺伯特学院馆藏图书馆员一直在努力寻找合适的电子书采购策略配置，以满足用户的需求。自2017年以来，圣诺伯特的战略一直是订阅大型供应商软件包、多个循证采购(EBA)计划以及作为教员部门要求的一部分购买电子书的一次性订单的组合。2018年秋季，圣诺伯特图书馆开始与校园书店合作，开始接收课程采用的文本清单(CATs)，并推出了一项新的并行电子书战略，即为CATs购买无限制访问的电子书。本研究提供了St. Norbert图书馆CATs电子书项目的覆盖面和增长数据，包括受图书馆提供的CATs电子书影响的课程数量和课程类型，以及图书馆提供的CATs的类型和出版商。随着CATs计划的发展，支持它的成本也在增加，圣诺伯特决定调查CATs电子书的使用情况，将其与同时授权的EBA内容进行比较，并评估其CATs和EBA计划的兼容性和可持续性。讨论详细说明了为什么圣诺伯特更重视CATs电子书而不是EBA电子书，尽管存在共生的潜力，圣诺伯特如何确定其EBAs与CATs计划不兼容，以及为什么圣诺伯特图书馆决定不同时继续EBA和CATs计划。结论部分讨论了CATs电子书的成功，以及如何发展、维持和继续发展CATs电子书项目，使之成为圣诺伯特图书馆馆藏在新的战略方向上不可或缺的一部分。
