This session will cover the basics of the Acquisitions Module in Symphony with time for questions. Then you will hear about the e-DDA (electronic Demand Driven Acquisitions) model LSU Libraries is using. Share what is happening in Acquisitions at your library.
The Cataloging Sharing Session will now be combined with the presentation “An Inside Look at The Durationator® Copyright Experiment” due to a small schedule conflict. The time has not changed..just the room. Kathryn and Dr. Townsend Gard will come in for the second half of the presentation.
Moderator: Natalie Palermo (LSULAW), Kathryn Munson (Tulane) & Dr. Elizabeth Townsend Gard (Tulane)
What is Demand Management, and how does it differ from traditional holds? We will take a look at the structure of Demand Management, and learn what it was designed to do beyond traditional holds. If yours is a multi-library system, this session may be of interest to you, since Demand Management was designed specifically to add options for satisfying holds in a system where more than one library might be able to provide a copy of an item to satisfy a hold.
Do you ever wonder how to identify what is being used in your online collections? A demonstration of how to configure, harvest, and load usage data of e-resources with EBSCONET’s Usage Consolidation Platform should help! See why COUNTER-compliant reports and automated data harvesting through SUSHI enable librarians to make well-informed collection management decisions.

A discussion of an analysis of five years of usage of Springer eBooks, as well as, usage from other eBook providers at LSU. Also, the pros and cons of patron-driven acquisitions and the future of eBooks will be discussed.
Join us as we revisit our journey from 1990, when only six Louisiana academic libraries were automated and only four had internet access, to the present where we partner with Academic Libraries, State and Private Libraries, Museums and Archives to provide a multitude of products and services to 47 consortia members.
Over the last several years, faculty from Sims Memorial Library have partnered with several community agencies to fulfill Southeastern Louisiana University’s strategic priority to promote lifelong learning in the community. Most recently, three librarians secured funding from the American Library Association/National Endowment for the Humanities for Let’s Talk About It: Making Sense of the American Civil War, a reading and discussion series. Sims Librarians collaborated with the Tangipahoa Parish Public Library and the Department of History and Political Science at Southeastern to provide five discussion meetings and six presentations at Tangipahoa branch libraries. Let’s Talk About It was successful in bringing community members into Sims Library for the first time and established a working relationship with the local public library that is sure to continue. Louisiana academic libraries face trying economic times, and connecting with local communities with high quality programming is one way to demonstrate our value. The presentation will discuss how to search for and secure ALA grants, how to promote and publicize grant related events, and how to plan for successful implementation with administrative support.
