This  conference will explore the intersection of technology and service, the lessons learned through the past extraordinary year, and the value of change management. In light of the challenging times, we are coming together virtually to share our work under the theme 'Leading with Innovation, Stronger through Collaboration'.

The UC Libraries Forum will serve as an opportunity for UC library colleagues to meet virtually, share, learn and find opportunities for new collaborations and projects across the UC system. Presentations and conversation will note existing collaborations and spark ideas for new ones. This forum builds on and extends the scope of UC DLFx 2018 and 2019 beyond digital initiatives to all library employees to include themes such as research data, scholarly communications, the current-COVID academic library and others.

UC Libraries Forum: Leading with Innovation, Stronger through Collaboration

This  conference will explore the intersection of technology and service, the lessons learned through the past extraordinary year, and the value of change management.

Assessment of monographic resources is a critical prerequisite for the development of user centric and sustainable monograph collections in academic libraries. A novel way of a holistic assessment is to examine the relationship between acquisitions methods and its impact on monograph usage, which this research intends to investigate in a comparative style. It is designed to include cataloging, acquisitions, and usage data at UC Berkeley and UCLA Libraries for print monographs acquired between 2005-2019 fiscal years. The dataset includes various acquisitions methods, bibliographic data, and multiple categories of usage statistics of monograph collections that allow us to assess various acquisitions methods - blanket, approval, firm, demand-driven acquisitions-DDA – which helps determining user-centricity of various acquisitions for print monographs at both libraries. 

Both English and non-English monographic collections have been built through various acquisitions methods. There is a thought-provoking variance across both libraries’ methods of collection development that make the comparative study more intriguing. For instance, international and area studies collections at both libraries have been built through major approval plans and, to a lesser extent, firm orders. While approval plans and other acquisitions methods have been used for UCLA, UC Berkeley library has solely relied on firm ordering of English monographs during the same period. This research intends to contribute to the filling of the gap in the assessment literature of monographic collections in academic libraries. In addition to its comparative approach to the two largest collections of UC system libraries, it outlines assessment techniques that can be replicated in academic and large research library settings. Lastly, its original contribution is the analysis of acquisitions methods and their implications for the usage of monographic resources in research library settings.
