At the University of California, Irvine, two librarians in Technical Services used an adaptation of the Rapid Contextual Design methodology to create and execute a limited, low-barrier analysis to study the e-resources workflow between the Electronic Resources Unit, operating within the Acquisitions Department, and the Cataloging Department. Although limited in scope and time spent, the analysis provided insights that dispelled unfounded assumptions and pointed out several small, easily instituted changes to improve efficiencies, particularly by improving communication; the process also helped us prepare for gathering data and adjusting workflows for a pending migration to Alma and Primo. This presentation provides an overview of the methodology and describes how it was adapted and executed. It then describes the analysis results and actions taken.","PeriodicalId":39557,"journal":{"name":"Serials Librarian","volume":"80 1","pages":"11 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0361526X.2021.1877996","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42689709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although “Big Deals” were advantageous when first acquired, as the years passed, large publishers absorbed more publications annually, which brought higher costs and titles of lower relevance to the library. Each year librarians at Pepperdine University have analyzed cost per use, and each year the cost per use increased on many packages until these increases became unsustainable. Coinciding with this tipping point, alternatives to licensing entire packages emerged or became more viable. Libraries across the country realize that they no longer need to own everything. The authors go into details for each of the publishers’ “Big Deals,” present reasons why they were cancelled or restructured, the alternative solutions implemented, and what the reaction has been.","PeriodicalId":39557,"journal":{"name":"Serials Librarian","volume":"80 1","pages":"147 - 152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0361526X.2021.1877083","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44343271","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Protecting user privacy is a cherished ethical position held within this field. Therefore, it is worth asking whether libraries have been aggressive enough to protect this standard, given the rapid advancement of information technology, digital surveillance, cybercrime, commercial exploitation of user data, and emerging privacy threats for the individual and culture. This paper seeks to reconcile the ethical vision with the hard reality that emerging cyber threats can easily circumvent basic library efforts to protect user data. The author imagines the “black box” library, which would be the end result of radical adherence to the ethical standard. In short, the “black box” library would protect freedom of conscience for the user by adhering to extremely rigorous standards, including: Mass encryption, proxy services, legal enforcement of privacy provisions in vendor contracts, recordless inventory systems, and other strict measures. The vision is for a space where critical information flows in, but very little if any “digital exhaust” escapes it.","PeriodicalId":39557,"journal":{"name":"Serials Librarian","volume":"81 1","pages":"35 - 41"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0361526X.2021.1875960","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45021858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They found that better discovery within the library catalog and stronger liaison librarian awareness of streaming collections could help faculty find content appropriate to their disciplines.

Authority work is an important process that allows for the disambiguation of subjects and names in order to provide consistent, accurate access points in our discovery systems. The Authority Metadata Librarian was charged with setting ongoing authority control workflows and cleaning up the backlog of problems that had accumulated in the four years since migrating to the Alma library services platform (LSP). While still contributing records to the Library of Congress Name Authority Cooperative Program (NACO), Northwestern had not implemented local authority control workflows in Alma since the migration. This presentation offers a review of the strategic approach the Libraries employed for reinstituting authority control processes in its catalog: first, creating a process for ongoing workflows to realistically maintain authority control when new records are added to the collection and second, dealing with a backlog of problems from years without authority control processes in place. The presentation began with an assessment of the catalog’s authority control environment. It included approaches to performing authority control, using tools such as Alma Analytics, Python, and MarcEdit. It also covered some authorities projects done while working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic.","PeriodicalId":39557,"journal":{"name":"Serials Librarian","volume":"80 1","pages":"75 - 81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0361526X.2021.1871827","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46761375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This contextualization better serves early career librarians in realizing the extensive scope of communication with stakeholders plays in the management of the e-resources life cycle.
