Memo to faculty on Collections Review and Journal Subscriptions
Timeline and Feedback
The review process will include multiple opportunities for feedback and discussion. Initial
rankings of titles posted for review by faculty, staff, and students are requested by March 21st. The
web form includes a tiered ranking system that will enable the Libraries and the ULC to apply
input from the review to evolving budget scenarios. Individuals and departments that use the
tiered rankings for titles in their areas of teaching and research, rather than listing every title as
critical, will have the most significant and beneficial impact on this process.
The Libraries will incorporate community feedback with the data points on usage, citation activity,
impact factor, and cost, and, in consultation with the ULC and Departmental Library
Representatives, will post a revised potential cancellation list by April 15th for follow-up review.
The Libraries and ULC will post a final list of cancellations in early May and submit them to our
vendors in August.
Background Information
Along with the title lists and feedback system, the Collections Review webpage
(https://www.lib.ncsu.edu/collections/collectionsreview2014) contains extensive information on
the process and timeline, background about the sources of data used in the review, and contact
information for subject specialists in the Libraries. There is also an FAQ
(http://www.lib.ncsu.edu/collections/collectionsreview2014/faq) available that addresses a
number of potential questions about the review, including the Libraries’ commitment to document
delivery access for canceled titles and suggestions for scholars interested in learning more about the
system of scholarly communication.
The Libraries is comprehensively reviewing its budget, making strategic, programmatic reductions,
and has gone through a process of reductions in force and will be extending existing collaboration
with our Triangle Research Libraries Network (www.trln.org) partners. We understand how
central the collection is to research and teaching and are doing everything we can to limit the
impact of budget cuts. However, because the collections budget is a large part of the Libraries’
overall budget, we cannot avoid collections reductions in the face of significant cuts and annual
price increases above the general rate of inflation. Thank you for your input into this process and
please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments.
