    Articles on Demand: Making "Just in Time" a Reality through Resource Sharing Services
    (2016-03-17) Baich, Tina
    IUPUI University Library’s Resource Sharing & Delivery Services is playing an active role in the library’s strategic shift to a “just in time” collection development philosophy. Using ILL data, the library identified low-use journals where the purchase of individual articles was more cost effective than a subscription. The responsibility then fell to the head of Resource Sharing & Delivery Services to develop a service to fulfill faculty requests from these low-use journals after subscriptions were cancelled. In fall 2014, University Library launched the Articles on Demand for science faculty pilot using the unmediated version of Copyright Clearance Center’s “Get It Now,” giving science faculty quick and easy access to selected journals. The service was expanded to include all faculty in fall 2015. This presentation will describe the background and implementation process of the service, challenges encountered, usage statistics and faculty feedback.

    Charting New Waters: Partnering to Provide “On Demand” Services
    (2015-06-05) Baich, Tina
    ILL Librarians are charting new waters by taking on new roles and projects beyond traditional interlibrary loan. As many libraries shift their focus from ownership to access and “just in case” to “just in time” provision of materials, we must embrace a broader view of resource sharing. At IUPUI University Library, the Resource Sharing & Delivery Services Librarian is working collaboratively with Acquisitions to provide access to materials when they are needed through “on demand” pilot projects. The “Books on Demand” project will expand on the traditional ILL purchase on demand program by allowing users to request purchases of both print and electronic books through records in the online catalog. The “Articles on Demand” project gives faculty access to unmediated article purchasing from journals to which the library does not subscribe. This presentation will describe these two pilot projects and the role they play in University Library’s new strategic direction for collections. The objective of the session is to provide attendees with a guide to planning and implementing similar services as well as an idea of the obstacles they may encounter.

    Give Them What They Want: Articles on Demand as a Subscription Alternative
    (2016-04-04) Baich, Tina
    IUPUI University Library is strategically shifting to a “just in time” collection development philosophy. Technological changes inside and outside the library reduce the need for materials to be on hand “just in case.” Electronic books and easy access to the used book market make it relatively easy to obtain requested materials on demand. Simultaneously, the volume of publishing coupled with budget restrictions mean libraries are able to purchase only a fraction of the publications in a given year. Journals pose the additional challenge of high inflation rates while library budgets decrease or remain flat. In light of these changes, why not focus resources on what patrons actually want and will use? One of University Library’s “just in time” initiatives is an Articles on Demand service for faculty. Rather than subscribing to low-use journals, the library has chosen to move towards pay-per-view article purchases, freeing up funds for subscriptions to high-use journals. However, it was important to both the library and faculty to maintain quick and easy access to the journals cut in order to fulfill faculty research needs. University Library launched the Articles on Demand for science faculty pilot using the unmediated version of the Copyright Clearance Center’s “Get It Now” service in fall 2014 and extended the service to all faculty in fall 2015. Faculty’s ability to initiate purchases has allowed the library to successfully give them what they want at their point of need. This presentation will share the implementation process, challenges encountered, usage statistics and faculty feedback.

    A Library’s Journey from Journal Subscriptions to Articles on Demand
    (2015-05-18) Baich, Tina
    Due to constrained budgets and rising subscription costs, IUPUI University Library was faced with making a substantial cut to its science journals. It was important to both the library and School of Science faculty to maintain quick and easy access to the journals cut in order to fulfill faculty research needs. In Fall 2014, University Library launched an articles on demand pilot using the unmediated version of the Copyright Clearance Center’s “Get It Now” service. This presentation will share how the library integrated the service into its link resolver; limited access through authentication; and gathered feedback from and communicated with pilot users.
