Book Synopsis Acquisitions, Budgets, and Material Costs by : Sul H Lee
Download or read book Acquisitions, Budgets, and Material Costs written by Sul H Lee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In times of tight materials budgets, steeply rising prices, and rapidly expanding information formats, library professionals will appreciate the valuable insights into acquisitions processes and management of material costs that are offered in this practical new book. Respected librarians and vendor representatives contributed to this volume--the published proceedings of a recent conference held at the University of Oklahoma. These experts examine approval plans, including a new approach for the publisher-based plan; the impact of inflation, including the increasing costs of titles in selected subject disciplines, causes for the costs, and ramifications for libraries and suppliers; and the process of materials budgeting from the collection of data to the justification of the budget. With increasing demands on librarians to find better budget management strategies and to develop more effective material acquisition processes, an environment has evolved in which librarians and book vendors are forced to examine their methods of acquiring and supplying materials to libraries. Acquisitions, Budgets, and Material Costs: Issues and Approaches provides librarians with readily applicable solutions to today’s acquisition problems.
Book Synopsis The Economics of Access Versus Ownership by : Bruce R. Kingma
Download or read book The Economics of Access Versus Ownership written by Bruce R. Kingma and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not an economic assessment of the approach as a whole, but a model by which library professionals can conduct a specific economic analysis of relying on interlibrary loan for access to journal articles rather than building a collection in their own libraries. The approach is gaining favor as library funding and journal subsidies wither and new communication technology becomes feasible. Also published as Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery, and Information Supply v.6, no.3 (1996).

Book Synopsis Internet Costs and Cost Models for Public Libraries by : Charles R. McClure
Download or read book Internet Costs and Cost Models for Public Libraries written by Charles R. McClure and published by Washington, DC : U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science. This book was released on 1995 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the result of the statutory mandate by the National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) to promote activities to extend the nation's library and information handling capability as essential links in the emerging global information infrastructure. In a study to inventory the challenges related to libraries' roles in the National Information Infrastructure (NII), it was discovered that libraries had difficulty identifying and describing specific Internet costs. The cost elements, models, and worksheets presented here are intended to serve as useful guides for public libraries and communities in planning Internet connections and services. Five representative connectivity models and seven broad cost categories are identified for use by public libraries planning Internet connectivity and services. The value of this study rests more with the development of cost models, worksheets, and cost categories than with the costs represented in this report. However, the representative costs illustrate the significant variations that are possible in planning the networking permutations and configuration available to the public library community. For example, an initial one-time cost of $1,475 and a recurring annual cost of $12,635, a public library can establish a minimal level of single-workstation, text-based Internet connection. A more sophisticated representative multimedia connectivity model is described involving multiple workstations at multiple locations for a one-time cost of $266,375 and a recurring annual cost of $154,220, indicating the wide variation in cost and connectivity possibilities. The findings are intended to provide a basis for extending the benefits of advanced information services to the nation through its 9,050 public libraries. Models are illustrated through 14 figures. Two appendices provide research methodology and glossary of Internet terms. (Contains 14 references.) (Author/MAS)
Book Synopsis Access Services in Libraries by : Gregg Sapp
Download or read book Access Services in Libraries written by Gregg Sapp and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1992, establishes a theoretical base for access services while also suggesting connections between theory and practice. It provides fresh thinking that re-examines previous writings in this area, presents new experimental designs and results, creates contemporary organizational solutions, and adopts innovative techniques for increasing users’ access to library materials within constrained budgets. Access services librarians, circulation department librarians, and library managers, especially those who are considering a reorganization that will include access services, will benefit from the philosophical and theoretical articles as well as practical advice on the design, delivery, and evaluation of responsive library services. Chapters in this invaluable book fill the gap in the literature about access services including theoretical descriptions of access services, current developing trends in access services, the historical development of the access services concept, practical studies related to common access services issues, and projections of future challenges.
