Thursday, November 6 • 4:30pm - 5:30pmBudgets, Services, and Technology Driving Change: How Librarians, Publishers and Vendors are Moving ForwardThe economic challengers in higher education and healthcare coupled with continuing budget concerns have libraries, publishers and vendors making strategic changes as they seek to provide a high-level of services at a time when uncertainty continues to dominate planning and development. Creative thinking has become the norm as organizations seek to challenge long-held views and uncover and implement needed changes. Librarians, publishers, and vendors have all experienced a period of assessment, strategic review and reaction as a result of the continued evolution from a print-based model to one dominated by electronic dissemination of scholarly information and the new role eBooks promise to play. This presentation addresses some of the important actions taken by librarians, publishers and vendors to cope with changes forced by both the economy and budget pressures, by the continued migration of scholarly resources to electronic formats and by current and planned eBook activities and new eBooks models. It explores patterns in library content selection and spending trends, publisher prices and pricing models, as well as vendor strategies and tactics challenging and changing times. Data to be presented is the result of customer research conducted by EBSCO within the last six months.

Wednesday, November 5 • 1:00pm - 4:00pmBuilding eBook Collections for the Long TermMany academic libraries have been relatively slow to build eBook collections for the long term, relying instead on leasing content, purchasing limited use titles and often quietly relegating selection to library users thus implementing short term selection modalities predominantly in lieu of long term collection building. Libraries may be abdicating a professional role in selection and collection development by using these limited view approaches. Professional involvement may be no more than designing subject profiles intended to limit exposure of the library’s budget while offering preselected areas of potential additions. This workshop is a ringing call for academic librarians to engage in responsible, proactive collection development for the “new” format of eBooks. It is right for our profession, right for the long term support of scholarly monographs, and right for our users. We will: Present several approaches and basic principles for building eBook collections for the long term, Present overviews of the current state of the eBook industry, Describe library wide support facilitating multi-modal approaches to eBook collection building, Report on the immediate impact of eBook collection building on a typical university campus, Describe the roles, reactions, and involvement of students, faculty, and the campus bookstore, Analyze use data and use patterns as well as cost effectiveness metrics.

Saturday, November 8 • 12:15pm - 3:00pmCharleston Seminar: Being Earnest with our Collections: Determining Key Challenges and Best PracticesThis session will bring together librarians, publishers and vendors from across the country to explore important changes within the industry that affect the way information is acquired and delivered to library patrons. This lively discussion will replace the Rump Session with the goal being to cap off another great Charleston Conference by defining key challenges and identifying attainable goals. The format will be a series of panels in lightning round format on exciting or controversial topics followed by group discussions. Panelists will challenge participants to explore new ways of thinking about libraries, users, and the dissemination of information. Following each panel, participants will be asked to further develop ideas and build consensus for turning those with broad appeal into action items. Future plans include follow-up with attendees to ascertain their progress on key takeaways, and sharing results through various Charleston Conference publications.

Crowd-sourcing has a long history in libraries (shared cataloging, the first edition of the OED, etc.). But the web opens up a whole new set of opportunities. What are the principles that result in successful crowd-sourcing, i.e.: the "wisdom of crowds" rather than either a wasteland or even worse "the madness of crowds?" The panelists will share experiences in crowd-sourcing of reference (CrowdAsk at Purdue University), crowd-sourcing of user-advisory services (ChiliFresh), and crowd-sourcing of metadata for catalogs (LibraryThing for Libraries).

Thursday, November 6 • 10:20am - 11:10amDriving Discovery: Do You Have the Keys to Fair Linking? (It’s About Knowledge and Library Control)Do concerns about “fair” linking make you wonder about discovery services? It’s time to understand HOW linking works. In the end, the power is in your hands. But do you know it? And maximize it? If search engines are optimized to provide the best results, regardless of the source of the content, or the resource from which a record originated, the focus is on the full-text linking. How and why did the link appear? What is the user experience? Do users want to see multiple links to full text or do they just want to see the article ? How effective (accurate, simple) is the link resolver experience for your users? How can it be optimized? How can usage via the link resolver be tracked back to the source? What are the emerging standards? This session explores fears of bias, the approaches to take control of your discovery service through customization, and ways to maximize the user experience. It covers all views from the discovery vendor perspective, participating content partner perspective, an over-arching look from the standards perspective, as well as from a university perspective associated consortium having needs to allow for customization at multiple universities with differing needs/opinions.
