Item On Course: A Critical Assessment of a Textbook Affordability Initiative
Resnis, Eric; Bazeley, Jennifer WAs the need for higher education has increased in the preceding decades, so have the costs associated with it. Our institution has implemented numerous affordable learning initiatives in response, including an OER adopt/adapt grant program. The success of these programs can be measured by examining student costs and quality in student learning. This poster will focus on using Small Group Instructional Diagnosis for the assessment of student learning in courses taught by faculty who were awarded OER adopt/adapt grants. Discussion will focus on student learning trends that occurred in the transition from a traditional text to an OER.Item Avoiding the “Axe”: Advancing Affordable and Open Education Resources at a Midsize University
Bazeley, Jennifer W; Haynes, Carolyn; Myers, Carla S; Resnis, EricINTRODUCTION To address the soaring cost of textbooks, higher education institutions have launched a number of strategies to promote the adoption of affordable and open educational resources (AOER). Although a few models for promoting and sustaining alternative and open educational resources (AOER) at higher education institutions can be found in the professional literature, additional examples are needed to assist the wide of range of universities and colleges in meeting this critical need. DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAM In this article, the authors describe Miami University’s ongoing efforts to reduce college textbook costs for students. These initiatives were instigated in some ways by the state legislature, but were also fueled by factual evidence regarding the impact textbook costs have on the student learning experience. The authors (university librarians and associate provost) provide a description of the institutional context and the challenges they faced in implementing AOER initiatives and chronicle the steps that their university has taken to address the challenge of rising costs of course materials. NEXT STEPS Next steps for growing the programs and recommendations for other institutions looking to develop similar initiatives are also explored.Item Affordable Course Materials: Impact on Student Learning

Bazeley, Jennifer W; Waibel, CarrieOhioNET webinar presented December 2018. The hardest phrase for many library staff members to utter has to be “Sorry, I can’t help you with that.” As more and more of the content we provide access to comes in the form of e-resource subscriptions, helping patrons access the material we pay very dearly for can be challenging. To limit frustration for both you and your patrons needing help, plan to attend OhioNET’s upcoming webinar, “Troubleshooting E-resource Access Issues” on Wednesday, Dec. 12th. This session will provide an overview of resources available statewide and through specific consortia, like OhioLINK. Additionally, our speakers will discuss tips for what pieces of information you need to collect to start resolving the problem, who you should contact regarding specific resources, and how to follow-up and effectively communicate about the problem and its resolution.

Bazeley, Jennifer WPresented at the ALAO Annual Conference 2018. Academic libraries are proponents of access for all. Student success is dependent on the ability of academic libraries to provide equitable access to its resources for all patrons. In the years before e-resources were commonly purchased by libraries for their patrons, providing access to students with disabilities meant enabling access to the physical: library facilities and tangible materials and collections. As technology has evolved and libraries have embraced e-resource collections, the challenges of providing inclusive access have increased exponentially. While online formats for textual information, data, audio, and video provide greater potential opportunities for increasing accessibility, they also create new challenges for librarians and students. Libraries no longer handle accessibility requirements solely at a patron’s point of need, but proactively from the very beginning of the processes of selecting, licensing, and procuring e-resources. This session will provide information for librarians involved with these e-resource processes, allowing them to better serve the accessibility needs of their students. Discussion will focus on how to communicate and interact with vendors in regard to accessibility standards, how to amend license terms to reflect accessibility needs, and how to collaborate with institutional partners to provide more efficient processes.Item Transfer Code of Practice and Alerting Service (Charleston 2018)
Bazeley, Jennifer W; Bequet, GaellePresented at the Charleston Conference 2018. Libraries, publishers, and intermediary vendors strive to disseminate the most current information to their patrons and clients through the metadata in their catalogs, services, and software. One significant pinch point in this landscape is the transfer of journals from one publisher or vendor to another. The Transfer Code of Practice was created to provide stakeholders in this information supply chain with best practices and guidelines to ensure that the transfer process occurs with minimal disruption and that journal content remains accessible to readers and subscribers. These guidelines have become increasingly important since the creation of the Transfer code in 2008, as the number of online titles, publishers, and supply chain intermediaries has grown exponentially. For these reasons, Transfer is undergoing two significant changes this year as we mark the ten year anniversary of the Code. The current Code of Practice is in its third iteration, which was adopted in 2014; in 2018, the Transfer Committee began revisions for version 4. These revisions will accommodate the changes that have occurred in the journal publishing market, especially changes in technology and terminology. In conjunction with the release of version 4 of the Code, the free online Transfer Alerting Service will be migrating to the ISSN International Centre (Paris, France). This new platform will replace the existing Enhanced Transfer Alerting Service which is hosted and maintained by the University of Manchester (UK). This session will present attendees with an overview of the Code, with a specific focus on new and updated content. Presenters will also provide a demonstration of the new platform, showcase the new and improved features of the service, and explain the process that publishers and librarians will go through to share and access Transfer information.Item Transfer Code of Practice (ALA Annual 2018)

Bazeley, Jennifer W; Natale, Jennifer J; Sullivan, ElizabethLibraries purchase LibGuides software in the effort to provide all users with easy access to engaging library content. Active administration of the software is a vital component in realizing this goal. In the summer of 2014, Miami University Libraries migrated from LGv1 to LGv2. A small group had traditionally overseen the administrative aspects of the LibGuides software that included managing accounts and troubleshooting. The migration to LGv2 created a unique opportunity for the group to re-evaluate their administration and take a more active role in implementing a broader vision of the use of LibGuides in order to meet the needs of faculty, staff, and students.Item Report of the ALCTS Collection Management and E-Resources Interest Group (CMERIG) Meeting (ALA 2016)
