"The Consortium Purchasing Directory remains the most comprehensive guide to the library consortium market currently available. It provides profiles on library consortia that acquire content for their member libraries, or those that have announced that they intend to do so. These are primarily academic, medical, public, school and government libraries. The Directory is devised to assist publishers and vendors and in dealing with the library consortium market. It contains information on some of the key issues of negotiation and provides links to the statements of policy and principle from major library groups around the world and further resources such as licensing models."

(source: JISC, 20/03/09)
"The Modelling the Library Domain briefing paper resulted from JISC’s TILE project (Towards the Implementation of Library 2.0 and the eFramework); a programme of work with two key aims. Firstly, TILE investigated how libraries have incorporated web 2.0 applications and services into what they already do. Secondly, it sought to develop a draft conceptual framework (Library Domain Model) based on services it has specified for the international e-Framework. The project also makes recommendations on how the library community could the make the best use of web 2.0 approaches."

- Collection development: selection and acquisition
(source: Salmoiraghi, María Paula, 2009 [Preprint] / déposé sur E-LIS, 27/03/09)
"The concept of selection and acquisition has changed notably in recent years, which has moved from an emphasis on the collections of the preponderance of the needs of users. It is generally associated with the acquisition, but these two processes have clearly identifier characteristics. The selection is a process of intellectual analysis is based on active policies and processes of each library.

- Perspectives on Job Stress in the Serials Information World
(source: Serials Review, sur abonnement / via Marlene's corner, 27/03/09)
"Contrary to popular opinion, libraries are not stress-free environments. Working with serials can cause stress in libraries and in the professions that provide and manage subscriptions, content, delivery, archives, and other aspects of these continuing resources. The stresses inherent in the serials information chain are exacerbated in a climate of rapidly expanding content, technology, and end-user expectations compounded by a global economic downturn. Two science librarians, a cataloging coordinator, and a serials agent field representative describe challenges in their professions and offer advice on how to cope with the resulting stress."
- La biblioteca fuori di sé: come riconfigurare collezioni e servizi nell'era del Web 2.0
(source: Cassella, Maria, Gargiulo, Paola, Soluzioni per migliorare il workflow dell'utente nel processo di ricerca, Seminario Cenfor, Milano (Italy), 12/03/09 / déposé sur E-LIS)
"Per motivi di lavoro o di svago gli utenti sono sempre connessi, la scoperta delle risorse informative avviene ovunque, ma sempre meno attraverso i portali bibliotecari. Gli utenti organizzano il loro lavoro e la loro vita sociale in rete e ciò impone alle biblioteche un radicale ripensamento del modo di concepire e di offrire i servizi e le collezioni sulla base di una conoscenza approfondita delle preferenze e delle aspettative degli utenti. Servizi e collezioni vanno portati là dove sono gli utenti nel flusso della rete, negli strumenti di social networking e sui device mobili. Per le biblioteche si tratta di assorbire il cambiamento in modo veloce, di essere proattive, di sperimentare senza improvvisare, di essere coraggiose, di acquisire nuove competenze ma soprattutto di avere fiducia nei propri utenti e di aprirsi ai contenuti che creano in rete. Le biblioteche come conversazioni."
