Abstract

The merging of two departments into the Acquisitions and Collection Development Department afforded Loyola Marymount University an opportunity to rethink existing workflows, with the acquisition of electronic books (e-books) being identified as a critical task to review. Process mapping was used to show the complexity of different tasks being performed in the department and to provide a visualization mechanism for staff to see how their work fit into a sequence of actions as part of a larger workflow. The authors listed the types of acquisition models used at their library for e-books and constructed process maps for the following six major types: 1. Firm order e-books; 2. Firm order e-book collections; 3. Approval order e-books; 4. Demand-driven e-books; 5. Standing order e-books, and; 6. Subscription e-book database. The authors merged the individual process maps into a single visualization to view the entirety of the acquisition process as a whole and to show how the different e-book acquisition models relate and diverge from one another.
大局观:电子书收购的整体视角
两个系合并为收购和收藏发展系,为洛约拉·玛丽蒙特大学提供了一个重新思考现有工作流程的机会,电子书的收购被确定为一项需要审查的关键任务。流程图用于显示部门中执行的不同任务的复杂性,并为工作人员提供可视化机制,让他们了解自己的工作如何适应作为更大工作流程一部分的一系列行动。作者列出了他们图书馆用于电子书的获取模型的类型,并构建了以下六种主要类型的流程图:1。固定订单电子书;2.固定订单电子书收藏;3.批准订单电子书;4.需求驱动型电子书;5.长期订购电子书,以及;6.订阅电子书数据库。作者将各个过程图合并到一个单独的可视化中,以将整个收购过程视为一个整体,并展示不同的电子书收购模型是如何相互关联和分歧的。
