Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study looks closely at how 42 academic libraries, mostly from research universities or other research-oriented institutions, seek out and purchase data sets for the general library collection and for use by particular academic departments. The 80-page study helps its readers to answer questions such as: how much do libraries spend on data acquisitions? How much do they plan to spend in the future? How do they decide which data acquisition requests to fund and which not? Do they have a data librarian? Which academic fields use the most data and make the most requests of the library? What percentage of requests are funded? When libraries and academic departments share costs of data acquisitions what is the split in costs? To what extent can data requests be met by existing collections of open access data sources that academic researchers may not be initially aware of? How do negotiations to purchase or license data differ from negotiations for other forms of content? The data in the report is broken out by many variables including size and type of college, tuition levels, enrollment levels and other variables. Data is broken out separately for R1 and R2 universities, for graduate professional schools, as well as for other types of institutions. The study includes data for 14 RI and 7 R2 institutions, as well as for many graduate professional schools. Some participants include Auburn, MIT, Claremont Colleges, Princeton, the University of Toronto, Georgetown, USC and the University of Calgary, among others.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We surveyed college and university and other research libraries in the United Kingdom and United States to find out more about their approach to data curation. Ten libraries were surveyed in each country. Two non-academic libraries with profiles similar to academic libraries were also included.The study presents a broad range of data on budgets, staffing, assessment, technology use, interdepartmental cooperation, metadata development, data security, discovery tools, marketing, archiving, data preservation and other aspects of data curation management. Some of the participating institutions include: Tulane, Syracuse University, the University of New Mexico, Imperial College London, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Bath, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, the University of London, the Center for Research Libraries and Arizona State University. Just a few of the 108 page report's many findings are that:· The majority of libraries (70%) surveyed assisted faculty with advice on how to develop data management plans for grants or personal use.· For 30% of the UK libraries surveyed, data curation was a line item in the library budget.· The mean average percentage of overall data management staff time spent on the development of metadata and other cataloguing issues was 31 per cent.· We asked about the number of grant proposals that had been reviewed or contributed to by data curation office or service in the past year. The mean average was 15.38. However, the numbers were much higher in the United States than in the UK. US libraries reported a mean average of 21.4 compared to 5.33.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study profiles the interlibrary loan efforts of nine leading American colleges: the University of Texas at Arlington, Tulane University, the University of Minnesota, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Brigham Young University, the University of Tennessee, Colorado State University, Oberlin College and Stony Brook University. The libraries interviewed shared their thoughts on a broad range of topics including but not restricted to: workflow management, productivity measures, departmental organization, budgets and spending trends, service to distance learning students, copyright and licensing issues, measures for special collections, automation and software use, use of institutional repositories and open access publications, shipping costs and procedures, and many other facets of academic interlibrary loan management. The purpose of the report is to define and diffuse best practices by profiling measures taken by nine leading institutions of higher education. Although the report contains much useful quantitative information, especially relating to budgets and employment, the focus in this report is on a journalistic narrative explaining departmental goals, procedures and practices and evaluating results.
