“…There is no shortage of articles written on reorganization of technical services. The reasons for reorganization are staffing and budget shortages (Wiles-Young, McNally, and Anemaet 1998;Dunham and Davis 2008;Wells 2004) and e-resource workload coordination to streamline practices, increase efficiency (Clendenning, Duggan, and Smith 2010;King, Metcalf, and Larkin 2007) and remove silos (Goldberg, Horvath, and Neagle 2001). Issues regarding communication, training, staff morale, and learning to do more with less are also common themes in reorganization literature (King, Metcalf, and Larkin 2007;Wells 2004).…”

Within the past decade, academic libraries have seen a shift in purchasing from mostly print to mostly electronic. Although Carleton University Library (Ottawa, Canada) has experienced this shift, it had continued until recently to work within the confines of an organizational structure based on a print purchasing model. This paper will describe in detail the restructuring of the Library's collections and technical services departments to better meet growing electronic demands. Changes included dedicating more staff from print resources to e-resources, changing a librarian position to focus specifically on collections assessment, and shifting budgets to manage growing e-resources more efficiently. The authors will explore accomplishments and hurdles that needed to be overcome, cite lessons learned in making organizational shifts, and make some cautious predictions about future changes.

Purpose – Patron driven acquisitions (PDA) programs have emerged as an important component in library collection practices. The authors aim to report on four PDA programs (two completed, two currently underway) undertaken by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign either by itself or in partnership with a statewide academic library consortium known as CARLI. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use a case study approach based on their professional experience and direct involvement with these programs. Findings – The programs were built on successful partnerships with both vendors and consortial partners; each program was informed by and built on the success of the previous one. The processes can be scaled up and applied to larger systems in order to maximize their impact and user satisfaction. Originality/value – Acquisitions librarians and selectors will find the local PDA programs of interest, while the consortial approach will be of interest to anyone involved with building and sharing collections in a multi-institutional environment.
