Beyond the ER Use Survey
• Applications for User Study
• Implications for Service Provision
• Challenges for Organization & Access
• Expansions in User Education
• Realities of Electronic Publishing
• Complications for Collection Building
![Page 18: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Applications for User StudyChallenging Balances • Benefit to the greatest number of users vs.
different needs of users• Lower division vs. upper division user needs• Full-text article vs. indexes/abstracts• Electronic vs. print
![Page 19: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Implications for ER Service
• ER Awareness and Promotion
• Professional Staffing at End-User Workstations
• Tiered Service for Differing User Needs
• Service Points as Dynamic Test Sites for Electronic Resource Evaluation
![Page 20: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Expansions in USER Education • Communication & Publicity
• Instruction Team’s Role
• Instruction Sessions
• Instruction Web Pages
• Informal Sharing & Assessment
• Instruction & ER Evaluation
![Page 21: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Realities of Electronic Publishing • Aggregated Full-text Databases
• Bundled Electronic Journal Collections
• Indexes/Abstracts Services
• Individual Ejournals• Individual journals licensed to
--database producers --archival services--subscription agencies --index/abstr. services

Complications for Collection Building
• Our Publishers, Our Products
• Formats, Databases, and Content
• Content Selection: Principles and Criteria
• Our Needs, Our Budget
![Page 24: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Organization/AccessIssues
• Presentation of electronic resources:– Catalog titles for OPAC access and/or create web pages
for access
• Lists of titles on Web pages:– Useful as list grows– Known item searches– More access from indexes
• URL maintenance
• BI for full-text services
![Page 25: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Access Issues
• IP access and password– Wiley journals -confidentiality
• Proxy server with databases
• Proxy server for electronic journals
![Page 26: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Questions User Needs
• How is your library assessing user needs?– Are you examining usage statistics? What
impact have they had on your collection development decisions?
– What role do full-text/ejournals fulfill in your library?
– What is the use pattern of ejournals and full-text databases in your library?
![Page 27: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
QuestionsCollection Building
• What criteria should we apply when selecting aggregated products?– How important is the integrity of content?
• Have you purchased your electronic resources through a consortium?– What are your experiences with this approach?
![Page 28: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
QuestionsOrganization &
Access•How does your library handle identifying new ejournals and providing access to them?
•Has anyone developed local databases to provide access?
Service Provision &
User Education• What has your library done to increase awareness and promote use of ejournals/full text resources?
![Page 29: The Convergence of User Needs, Collection Building and the Electronic Publishing Market Place. NASIG Workshop #18 Jie Tian, Reference Librarian California](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062320/56649cd75503460f9499f53f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
QuestionsElectronic Publishing
• What would be the ideal product for electronic resources?– What services would you like the vendor to
offer?
