- W2047814114 abstract "Libraries are caught in the middle—between static or shrinking budgets on one hand and ever-expanding user needs on the other. How did we get here, and where do we go from here? This paper will offer two perspectives: Part I will present survey results about changing Library purchasing habits in light of changing formats, access, business models and user demands. Data from a previous survey on this topic will be compared and updated. Pricing trends and possible futures will be discussed. Part II will briefly trace the history of libraries’ roles in scholarly communication and connecting learners with knowledge. From there, we show an example of phasing in a patrondriven and short-term loan e-book program, complete with incorporating these tools in library instruction, research, and portable device loadability for field work. Part I: Libraries’ Changing Buying Habits, 2011 By Narda Tafuri In August 2011, a short survey consisting of 23 questions was posted over three email lists: ACQNET-L, ERIL-L, and COLLDV-L. A total of 129 individuals responded to the survey. The purpose of the survey was to uncover trends in purchasing and how the current economic climate had affected libraries’ buying habits. A similar survey conducted in 2009 had yielded 144 responses. The results of that survey were presented at the 2009 Charleston Conference and also appeared in an article in the November 2009 issue of Against the Grain. The majority of survey respondents (83.7% 108 total) worked at academic libraries, while 5.4% (7 total) worked at public libraries and 10.9% (14 total) worked at special or other type of library. An additional respondent category, school library, yielded zero responses. More than half (62% 80 total) of the libraries responding had book budgets under $500,000. A total of 27.1% (35 total) of those responding had book budgets of $1 million or more to expend. The remaining respondents (10.9% 14 total) had budgets of $500,000 to $999,999. This breakdown is very similar to the libraries that participated in the 2009 survey. Respondents were asked the question: “Does your library currently purchase used or out-of-print books from the Internet for its collection?” Of the total number of respondents (128 responded—1 skipped this question) 85.9% (110 total) indicated that they did purchase out-of-print books. The majority of out-of-print purchases continued to be “Replacement copies of missing books” (81.7% 98 total) with 56.7% (68 total) purchasing used or outof-print (OP) books as “Regular purchases for our collection.” When asked: “Do you foresee your library increasing purchases of books from used or out-of-print Internet book sites in order to “stretch” the Acquisitions book budget?” only 26 respondents (out of 128 total) answered “Yes.” The choices to the question: “Which used or out-ofprint Internet book sites does your library use to purchase books?” included: Barnes & Noble, Addall.com/used, BookFinder.com along with the sites from the 2009 survey: Amazon Marketplace, ABEbooks, Alibris, and Other. In response to “Other” respondents were again asked to name their top three sites. Responses varied, but Powells.com, Better World Books, Via Libri, Half.com were all mentioned more than once. Both Amazon Marketplace (82.1% 101 total) and Alibris (75.6% 93 total) were the most popular of the sites used for acquiring OP material; followed by ABE-books (56.1% 69 total); BookFinder (25.2% 31 total); Addall.com/used (18.7% 23 total); Barnes & Noble (17.1% 21 total); and Other (16.3% 20 total). A total of 123 out of 129 respondents answered this question. For the majority of those responding (76.5% 98 total), vendors are still filling 51% to 100% of the orders placed for print books. However, this is down" @default.
