PROGRAM
9:30 - 10:00 -- Check-in and Continental Breakfast
10:00 - 10:10 -- Welcome and Opening Remarks
10:10-10:55 -- Text Mining Support: Are We There Yet?
Jen Ferguson, Northeastern University
Janet Morrow, Northeastern University
Amanda Rust, Northeastern University
Bob Boissy, Springer
Library support of text mining presents a range of logistical challenges from licensing to data management. The panel will share recent text mining activities and invite attendees to contribute their own perspectives to arrive at common solutions to the emerging
role of text mining support.
10:55 - 11:20 -- Using TERMS to Convert Print Standing Orders to Electronic Format
Amy Dittmann, Boston College
Terra Kallemeyn, Boston College
O’Neill Library has had a long history of converting print subscription content to electronic format. Standing orders, however, had been left out of this process until we undertook a project for their conversion this year. We will discuss our motivations,
working with our vendors, and our decision processes, as well reception and results of the project.
11:20 - 11:40 -- Break
11:40 - 12:15 -- Access Denied!
Julie Linden, Yale University
Sarah Tudesco, Yale University
Turnaway data – such as COUNTER reports of "access denied" – can inform collection development decisions, but are they always a true indication of your patrons' interests? We'll look at a variety of activities and situations that can result in "access denied"
reports. We will dig into examples of turnaway data and provide the audience with a "turnaway data analysis checklist – what to ask before you buy." Finally, we will look at patrons' "access denied" encounters and document delivery requests to explore the
role of other content fulfillment channels. We encourage audience members to come prepared to share their own turnaway experiences – both data and anecdotes.
12:15 - 12:55 -- Lightning Talks
Electronic Resources in Times of Fiscal Constraint: Investigations, Acquisitions and Renewals (Joseph Harzbecker, Boston University Medical Center)
Are Next-Gen Library Systems TERMS-compliant? Preliminary Thoughts for a Research Project (Emily Singley, Boston College)
Content Decision-Making: Flexibility Required (Patricia Berens, Babson College)
Moving Away From the Status Quo: Changing Database A-Z List Platforms (Anna Seiffert, Purdue University)
12:55 - 1:00 -- Closing Remarks
