Publishers in the VIVA DDA Plan
Imprint of Elsevier; included in VIVA frontlist purchase
The Virtual Library of VirginiaThe consortium of the nonprofit academic libraries within the Commonwealth of Virginia
Where do we go from here?
• We could read the results as evidence that the aggregated subscription packages would be the best choice for us
• We can also see some leading publishers emerge in particular subjects; this could guide our publisher approach in purchasing e-books and seeking Demand Driven Acquisitions partnerships
The Virtual Library of VirginiaThe consortium of the nonprofit academic libraries within the Commonwealth of Virginia
Last Copy Video Project
• 7 Participants: GMU, JMU, UR, UVA, VCU, VT & W&M
• Goal: to ensure that all currently held content deemed to be of long-term value will be retained by at least one of the 7 libraries
The Virtual Library of VirginiaThe consortium of the nonprofit academic libraries within the Commonwealth of Virginia
Initial Results
• There are 4,731 media titles within the project that are uniquely held within the United States and 9,578 titles that are held by only 2-9 libraries in the United States
The Virtual Library of VirginiaThe consortium of the nonprofit academic libraries within the Commonwealth of Virginia
Where do we go from here?
• The task force is focusing preservation efforts on the unique and rare titles, particularly those in VHS format
• The task force is also using the data to investigate potential candidates for collaborative acquisition of streaming media
The Virtual Library of VirginiaThe consortium of the nonprofit academic libraries within the Commonwealth of Virginia
Monographic Collection AnalysisProject Goals: • Pilot a coordinated, consortial approach to collection
assessment
• Use the data and analysis to inform future, collaborative collection development
• Identify scarcely-held titles in need of protection
• Begin a discussion about the possibility of reducing unnecessary duplication and saving local space through strategic weeding
• Provide remediated and enhanced records back to the participating schools
