Turning Lemons into Lemonade: Examining Inventory and Collection Development Concerns after a Large Print Withdrawal Project

Wednesday October 9, 2024 1:00pm - 1:20pm CDT

Room 327

In February 2023 at the LSU Health Sciences Center New Orleans Library, we were told we had to clear out one-third of our print journals stacks to make way for an IT server room. We ultimately withdrew over 33,000 bound journals and an additional 2,300 items after weeding our reference monographs. We will describe our projects, how we coordinated with various institutional departments, and how we developed a new methodology for reporting withdrawn items.

New resources for LOUIS Members to help with textbook affordability!

Thursday October 10, 2024 9:30am - 9:50am CDT

Room 324

In the summer of 2024, Oxford University Press (OUP) worked with LOUIS to provide its members with access to 450+ Very Short Introductions (VSI) ebooks (https://academic.oup.com/very-short-introductions). These ebooks are used by faculty nationwide to provide students with background knowledge on topics. Together we will explore how the VSIs are being used by member institutions and discover other OUP resources that could be used in LOUIS member classrooms.
