Goal 1 Provide relevant core and in-depth collections
that support the learning, teaching, and research
needs of undergraduate and graduate students and
faculty, especially for designated academic programs
of excellence, graduate programs, and for new degree
programs.
Measurable Objective
Objective 1.1 Implement at least two new practices to
ensure that the collection reflects the current research
and teaching needs of the university.

needs not met by current collection.
1.1.3 Examine course descriptions, syllabi, and
curriculum changes

The objective was achieved. The library successfully
implemented new practices to ensure that the collection
reflects current research and teaching needs:
 A Demand Driven Acquisitions e-book plan was
implemented. The DDA program makes links to ebooks from selected academic publishers available
through the online catalog. When UNO students or
faculty click into a title a specified number of times
a purchase is triggered. This allows our users to
participate directly in the selection of materials for
the library collection.
 Interlibrary Loan borrowing data on book and
journal titles requested by UNO patrons was

regularly shared with subject librarians to inform
collection decisions.
Course descriptions and syllabi were reviewed,
when available, to ensure that titles purchased for
the collection match course content as closely as
possible.

As part of the annual serials review,

on discipline-specific needs for
monographs and recent spending patterns.

allocations and expenditures

n/a
The objective was achieved. The library successfully
modified the collection and adapted collecting practices as
a result of specific analyses:
 As part of the serials review that took place in
spring-summer 2012, all journal subscriptions were
reviewed and cancellations were made based on
cost-per-use and value to campus. Approximately
$400,000 in titles was cancelled to meet a reduced
materials budget. Remaining titles are those most
used and relevant to campus teaching and
research needs.
 When our multi-year journal contract with Elsevier
expired in 2011 we reviewed options and elected
not to pursue a multi-year contract, freeing us to
adapt subscriptions and preserve titles based on
our own criteria (value to the campus).
 In Fall 2011 the book budget percentages were
reallocated based on evidence of need. The
Collection Development Librarian analyzed book
expenditures over the last three years and those
departments that consistently expended their
allocations had their percentages raised slightly
higher, while departments that consistently
underspent had their percentages lowered slightly.
This allowed monograph-dependent disciplines to
receive a greater share of the (relatively small)
book budget than those departments that rely more
heavily on serials for research and teaching.

Although the target of at least 3,000 items in
ScholarWorks, the institutional repository, was not
reached, the number of items added (1,829 in
2011-12 for a total of 2,454 by the end of June
2012) was a significant increase and usage, as
indicated by the downloads (over 116,000), was
strong.
Every college is represented in the repository,
along with the Graduate School and the Office of
Research & Sponsored Programs.
An Undergraduate Showcase was established in
ScholarWorks to collect and promote the best
undergraduate work on campus. Initial series
include Senior Honors Theses and Undergraduate
Prizes and Awards.
The library increased its level of participation in in
Open Access Week 2011. In addition to promoting
OA on the website and through the OA libguide,
librarians created an Open Access road show,
designed to provide information and resources on
OA at various locations throughout the campus
during OA Week.
The library began discussions with the VP for
Research & Economic Development about
establishing a Data Management Policy on
campus. The library created a Data Management
libguide to inform faculty about library services
related to data management.

These positions were: Acquisitions Librarian, Digital

The job descriptions for these positions were reviewed by
the Management Team and revised as appropriate. All
three positions were filled by February, 2012. In addition,
several other job descriptions were revised to address
administrative and responsibility changes at the
department level, specifically in the Louisiana and Special
Collections Department.
(Tentative, still under discussion.)With two additional
in [NEXT FY]**
retirements and not much likelihood of receiving
permission to fill these positions, the library will need to
