LIS 522 Notes - week three
On about four hours of sleep and I have to leave early for meeting with the priest
If this is coherent tomorrow I will be very pleased with myself
Guest lecture from a publisher account representative from YBP ( form. Yankee Book Peddler)
Senior coll dev. mng - ie setting up approval plans and keeping library happy
Approval plans and general academic library collection vendoring
Working from home
- doing laundry and baking cookies while at work = good
- checking work email at midnight = bad
YBP headquarters in small town NE - so not all vendors are in the metropolis sprawl
Owned by Baker and Taylor, owns other small medical publishers
Pub alley - service to libraries that tracks book sales trends
Shelf-ready - books come processed and cataloged (like Follett does for Seattle Public School District)
E-reference - dynamic resource vs. static print
Approval plans in YBP
- Publisher list (want, don't want, notify)
- Classification (LC, Dewey, NLM) - obtained from LC, working from OCLC
- NSP (Non-subject parameters) - format, series, place of publication
Subject - Dance : not a lot published, but highly desired
Special queries that the profiler keeps an eye out for, like baseball
Profilers are usually subject specialists who were librarians
10 minute skim of each book from publisher lists and so forth
Librarians are hesitant to disclose budget to vendors
Budget can help vendor set up approval plan - fewer automatics? more notifications?
Vendor cannot/will not manage budget for libraries
Lots of day-to-day calls from librarians to tweak plan
