Getting It System Toolkit Acquisitions and ILL Processing

Getting It System Toolkit Acquisitions and ILL Processing Through ILLiad Li. SUG October 12, 2009

What is GIST? A system for: Ø Merging Acquisitions and ILL request workflow using ILLiad 8; Øenabling user-initiated purchasing requests for acquisitions and interlibrary loan; Øenhancing coordinated collection development.

What it isn’t? (yet!) Ø A Complete Acquisitions System Ø No order records Ø No Cataloging Ø No serials or article purchasing system Ø Gift Manager (Soon!) Ø Budget Manager

Why we need GIST Ø Too many lame request interfaces, no real context Ø Speculative selection is a lot of manual work Ø Most of the collection is never used Ø Shrinking budgets, rising material costs and increasing needs Ø Just-In-Case model is not sustainable Ø Ineffective de-duplication across systems Ø No user feedback mechanism Ø Delivery time is a mystery

Geneseo ØVery customizable ØStatus specific ØContext sensitive ØStand alone ØDefault Loan Form ØOpen. URL ØBook Chapter Form ØElements a la carte

Purchasing Options Worldcat API – Library Availability ILLiad Request User sees if owned locally, easy click to Form catalog, and sees estimated turnaround Custom, Standalone, time. Open. URL, Status Specific ILL & Acquisitions staff see if held locally, and # holdings in 2 configurable groups (consortia, state, etc. ) User sees price to purchase from Amazon API with New & Lowest Price listed (used) – user may want to purchase from this link. If they do, Amazon provides our AWS account a credit for referring someone to purchase. ILL & Acquisition Staff see the New & Lowest Price in the ILLiad requests. Better World Books, Google APIs are also currently used for pricing, we have asked other vendors for APIs. Google Books User sees Table of Contents, No-Partial, & Full Text Views. Staff see if full text in Google (GOOGL) Amazon API Index Data User sees if full text or audio version in OCA, Internet Archive, etc. Staff see if full text OCA (INARC) Enhances users request evaluation with Reviews, Ranking, Cover, and quick link to Amazon. Price was moved into Purchasing Options window.
