  14. ARL NEW SERIALS STATISTIC Gathering the Statistic at the Texas A&M University Libraries www.arl.org

  15. GATHERING THE SERIAL STATISTIC eSerials + eDocuments Step 1: From Link Resolver (SFX) Create eSerials List Step 2: From Library Mgmt System (Voyager) Create eDocuments List eDocuments Guidelines Step 3: Compare to eSerials List Remove duplicate titles from eDocuments List • Only ISSN’s are used to compare de-dupe serial titles (i.e. titles are not used to compare or de-dupe) • Only full text serials are counted, not abstracted titles (e.g. Lexis-Nexus: only titles that L/N marked as full text were counted) • Electronic versions take priority over print & other format • Purchased versions take priority over non-purchased versions Step 4: Merge unique eDocuments Titles with eSerials List Branch #1 Print Serials FOR EACH BRANCH Step 5: From Library Mgmt System Create Print & Other Format Serials Lists Branch #2 Print Serials Step 6: Compare Print Serials List to eSerials List Remove duplicate titles From Branch Lists TOTAL SERIAL COUNT Step 7: Compare Print Serials Lists to other Branch Lists Remove duplicate titles From Successive Branch Lists

  16. RESULTS • ARL Serial Statistics – TAMU • EVANS MSL TOTAL • 4a Number of current serials purchased 33,268 620 33,888 • 4a i Electronic 29,501 11 29,512 • 4a ii Print & other formats 3,767 609 4,376 • 4b Number of current serials received 16,533 145 16,678 • but not purchased • 4b i Electronic 11,636 109 11,745 • 4b ii Print & other formats 4,897 36 4,933 • TOTAL SERIALS 50,566 • Notes: • Statistic is generated by comparing ISSN & eISSN’s • Serial titles that do not have ISSN/eISSN’s are treated as unique titles and added to list

  17. COMPARISON OF SERIALS WITH ISSN AND WITHOUT Document eSerials Print Serials Electronic Serials

  18. COMPARISON OF OLD ARL SERIAL STATISTIC TO NEW SERIAL STATSTIC 2005-2006 2006-2007 Electronic 25,088 41,257 Print & other formats 20,718 9,309 Total 45,806 50,566

  19. RECOMMENDATIONS • Stay the course • Involve vendors • Begin discussion on how to fill in ISSN gaps for each institution – • Possibly a collaborative project • Recommended that each institution began tracking ISSN/non-ISSN statistics. As the % of ISSN Serials grow the ARL Serials Statistic becomes more accurate.

  20. GATHERING THE ARL SERIAL STATISTIC – TAMU Create Serials Print Lists Note these lists contain all current subscriptions for all formats other than Electronic. Not just Print formats Create Serials Electronics Lists • ISSN’s used to compare and de-dupe serial titles • Electronic versions take priority over print & other format • Purchased versions take priority over non-purchased versions • Collect data from link resolver • (TAMU uses Ex Libris SFX) to create 2 lists: • List of unique Electronic Titles • List of unique ISSN’s from Electronic Titles • (ISSN and eISSN – more often these days • eSerials use ISSN’s) • Title list will contain purchase/not purchased • information • Search Branch Library Management System • (For TAMU these include • Main Branch; Med Sci Libr; and • Galveston Libr) • to create 2 lists for each branch: • List of unique Print Titles • List of unique ISSN’s from Print Titles • Title list will contain purchase/not purchased • information • Collect Document eSerials data from • Main Branch Library Management System • (TAMU uses Ex Libris Voyager) • to create 2 lists: • List of unique Document eSerials Titles • List of unique ISSN’s from Documents • eSerials ISSN’s Product – FOR EACH BRANCH a Print Titles list and an ISSN list accounting for all Print Serials De-Dupe Documents eSerials Against Serials Electronic List and then Merge Lists If Documents eSerial does not have an ISSN add title to Electronic Titles list Compare Documents eSerial ISSN list to Electronic ISSN list De-Dupe Serials Print Lists Against Serials Electronic List If Documents eSerial ISSN matches Electronic ISSN move on to next Documents eSerials ISSN to compare Compare Branch Print ISSN list to Electronic ISSN list If Documents eSerial ISSN does not match Electronic ISSN add to Electronic Titles list If ISSN matches delete from Branch Print Titles list Repeat through all branches Product – Electronic Title list and Electronic ISSN list accounting for all Document and non-Document eSerials De-Dupe Serials Print Lists Against One Another Electronic vs. Print Product – FOR EACH BRANCH a REVISED Print Titles list & REVISED Print ISSN list that do not contain titles listed on Electronic Titles list Electronic versions take priority over other formats therefore Electronic Title and ISSN lists from this point forward will remain static Compare Branch No. 1 Revised Print ISSN list to Branch No. 2 Revised ISSN list If ISSN matches delete from Branch No. 2 Revised Print Titles list Repeat through all branches until all branches have been compared to one another • Final Products – • Electronic Titles List • Print Titles list for each branch • Each list with unique titles; no duplication Print vs. Print Product – FOR EACH BRANCH a Print Titles list with unique titles; i.e. no duplication of print titles between branches
