Benefits of E-resources Provide immediate access Available 24/7 from the Internet More powerful search tools (i.e. full text indexing and link resolution) Content is available for working online E-resources are less expensive Students & faculty prefer using e-journals; e-books lag behind Sources:

Signs of the Eclipse Kindle, Sony E-book Reader Improved devices—i.e I-phones Open standards for mobile devices—i.e Android Mobile Internet Access—i.e. Wi-Max Google—scanning collections of e-books Publishers stockpiling e-book collections i.e. MyiLibrary—100,000 Adding 1,000/wk

Beyond Paper The web will be the primary source of information Books and Journals will continue to move to the web It will continue to expand in depth and complexity Web sites connected to data will proliferate Hamersly Library currently has 98 information databases Websites are connected to databases Discovery and manipulation tools will evolve i.e. e-brary paragraph search, RefWorks, automated note cards Sources:

Library Strategies Collection Development Comprehensive Instruction

Example Collection Development Strategies Identify curriculum relevant web content Index by course on library web pages Buy access to journal collections that are relevant to the curriculum Use cancellations of duplication in print to fund purchases 1 print title buys 31 e-journals Purchase e-books in collections that are relevant to the curriculum $3 for e-books versus $51 for print At this point its value is primarily as a research collection rather than cover-to-cover reading

Instruction Strategy Association of College and Research Libraries Comprehensive Instruction Horizontally – i.e. all incoming students Vertically– i.e. specific to departments & courses Instruction using modules Sources:

Some Basic Information Literacy Topics Knowledge of WOU Information Infrastructure Web Services, User ID and Password, and WebCT, Moodle Campus Resources Library Physical Overview Library Web Page Overview Effictive Use of Resources E-books—Ebrary and Netlibrary E-journals—Ebsco and Jstor Government Documents Accessing Physical Materials Link Resolver Google Serials Solutions Federated Searching Interlibrary Loan Skills & Concepts Evaluation of URLS Research Strategies Peer Review Publication Plagiarism and Citation Search Terms

Faculty Participation Develop an annual library ‘white paper’ presenting information resource usage and cost data, and library collection development and instruction strategies Implement an annual faculty survey using random sample of around 20 faculty Present LMS usage and cost data Present ongoing WOU faculty usage data Present national trends and data Present strategic initiative options Engage faculty in discussion group over data and initiatives Survey electronic and print resource usage of faculty sample Survey faculty sample concerning initiative preferences Use survey results to refine collection development and instruction strategies Incorporate survey results and refined collection development strategies in ‘white paper’ for general distribution
