Issue #1 Role of e-readers -- Duke University Libraries 20 Roles of e-Readers in collection Development and User Services Strategies How are the devices and content purchases funded? Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Budgeting for devices and titles 21 Duke believed it was important to have funding set aside for new technology Duke took a very small portion of the allocated budget for this new technology for e-readers Devices are changing constantly Titles can be duplicated on devices which made the funds go further Cost for “popular literature” is less than for scholarly titles Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Duke’s Expenditures for project 22 Duke began this pilot in late Fall 2009 and rolled out the Kindle devices in February 2010; Nooks were rolled out in June 2010 along with additional Kindles. Devices in 2010 and 2011 amounted to $16, 558. 37 Content in 2010 and 2011 amounted to $3, 363. 37 Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Purpose of Duke’s e-Reader Pilot 23 Provide a way for patrons to interact with new and emerging book and information technologies Increase access to high-demand titles We began with 12 Kindles and then added an additional 6 Kindles and 15 Nooks; Div School, Med Sch Lib added devices Providing many books available to users at a fraction of the cost of a popular print book. Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Role of e-readers at The University of Alabama Libraries Began as a pilot project Fall 2009 in three branches: Gorgas, Rodgers Science & Engineering, Bruno Business Library Funding from A-Day fundraiser Purchases 18 Kindle 2 and 18 Kindle DX’s Kindle policies: http: //www. lib. ua. edu/policies/kindle University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot
Content Selection at UA Initial content selected by a library representative from each branch so there would be content available. Patrons allowed to request content by completing an online form. Only limitation is that we do not load textbooks. Allocated $20, 000 for content for the first year. Spent $1, 426 in FY 09, $2, 088 in FY 10, $537 in FY 11 (to date). University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot
Role of Collection Development This project is not part of the collection development policy We have not relied on e-books on e-readers as a sole copy. Many titles fall into the category of “popular reading” University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot
UA’s e-Reader Circulation Policies 2 week circulation Initially no renewals. We reviewed policies in the summer 2010 and added one renewal. University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot
E-Reader Circulation by Library University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot
e-Reader Circulation by Patron Group University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot
Kindle Circulation Demographics 2010 147 Patrons Represented 3% 13% 30 Faculty 28% Graduate Students 18% Undergraduates Library Staff 38% Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011 Duke Staff
Issue #2 Content Selection Criteria 31 Highest-circulation titles in Perkins’ New & Noteworthy and Current Literature collection (titles that have circulated more than 15 times) Titles in these collections with more than 3 hold requests Newly published titles in high demand (e. g. The Lost Symbol) Patron purchase suggestions via ereaders@Duke. edu Major new content in Spring 2011 Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Titles per device 32 One purchased Kindle title can be loaded on up to 6 Kindles. One purchased Nook title can be loaded on to as many Nooks as we own. Not all Kindle titles are also available for Nooks. Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Purchasing e-Reader Devices & Titles 33 Required a new workflow different from standard processes. Workflow is different for each type of device. Amazon and Barnes & Noble only allowed purchases by credit card (all staff have these). e-Readers not password protected. Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Purchasing Process for Kindles 34 Option 1: Registering/De-registering Option 2: Re-entering credit card information q Register Kindle each time device returned and de-register when checked out. q q Continual re-keying of account information q q q Acquisitions staff cannot purchase titles while Kindle on loan. Prevents patron from purchasing titles. q q Enter credit card information at time of purchase and remove immediately. Minimal keying to enter credit card number. Acquisitions staff can purchase titles at any time. Very slight risk that library patrons can purchase titles while credit card information in system. Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Purchasing Process for Nooks 35 Option 1 Option 2 Re-add credit card info Purchase 1 title per group of Nooks Download and open title on all devices Remove the credit card information Make one employee default credit card holder Purchase 1 title per group of Nooks Device must be opened multiple times to ensure all titles are available Remove the credit card information Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Purchasing and Downloading Titles 36 Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Problem with titles per POD 37 Lost authors’ permissions from publishers created the loss of access to titles in the pod. Amazon’s process for removing one lost access per pod was willy-nilly! Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Ongoing purchasing 38 After initial large purchase to get all devices loaded Purchased additional e-Reader devices implications Ongoing purchasing occurs as PDA, monthly and to refresh devices Have not purchased games, textbooks, non-book content Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Content to date 39 Over a two-month roll-out period, Duke University Libraries cataloged 75 titles for Amazon. com Kindles. Since then: 83 new titles have been added A subset of Kindle titles have been added to Barnes & Noble Nooks Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Ordering Process – The University of Alabama Monday-Friday at 2: 00 pm Kindle must be in hand before registering Title verified and added Kindle deregistered Spreadsheets updated 700 field added to catalog record University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot
Issue #4: Kindles & Sales Tax In June 2010 some Kindle publishers started charging sales tax. After learning that sales tax would be charged even though all tax exempt documents had been filed, The University of Alabama chose not to purchase from publishers charging sales tax. The continuous process of handling refund checks of less than one or two dollars and the reconciliation of the p-card was not cost effective. E.

Issue #5 UA -- Cataloging & Access to e-books Libraries take different approaches to providing access to e-book titles. Approach depends on local decisions. Standards for e-books on e-readers are an issue. University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot
Cataloging e-reader content At UA we catalog the physical Kindle and add new titles to each record. Titles are added in 700 field, indicator 12 245 is used for the Kindle # (ex Kindle 19) University of Alabama E-Reader Pilot

Standardization Adherence to national cataloging standards Working models Use existing workflows/ functionality where possible Standardization is the prerequisite for scalability Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Scalability continued Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Challenges Cataloging content without a chief source of information Most ereader titles require original cataloging Scalability is possible, but integration into general workflow more difficult Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
Challenges continued Most ereader titles required original cataloging Example: out of 75 titles cataloged for the initial pilot, only 5 titles matched copy cataloging guidelines This percentage has held true in the 9 months since the pilot Scalability is possible, but integration into the general Cataloging and Metadata Services workflow Duke/ASERL Webinar for e-Readers 02/18/2011
