Patron Driven Acquisition of Online Video ALIA Information Online 2013 Colleen Cleary (Library Resource Services Manager) Anne Loria (Resource Team Leader) CRICOS No. 00213J
Objectives • Outline the Kanopy PDA purchase model and trial methodology • Make some initial comparisons of the trial against library experience with ebook PDA • Contrast the effectiveness of online video PDA against the librarian driven selection process, focusing on library acceptance • Discuss the workflows and whether they help/hinder the acquisition and access process
Why PDA? • eBook PDA proven cost-effective model • Higher levels of ongoing use than librarian selected • Evidence of use to justify annual commitment of funds • Kanopy’s willingness to trial alternative models References: Price & McDonald, 2009, p.13 Schroeder, 2012, pp.13-14 Way & Garrison, 2011, pp.150-151
EBL PDA Comparison EBL PDA • eBooks • No upfront platform fee • Very large number of titles • Free browse, pay for STLs • Auto-purchase = outright purchase Kanopy PDA • Online streamed video • Upfront platform fee • 800+ titles • 4 free views • Auto-purchase = annual licence (discounted price, regardless of advertised platform fee)
PDA Trial • 800+ online videos matching QUT’s criteria available on the QUT video portal until July 2013 or until QUT’s budget is exhausted • Following the 1 year licence videos can be renewed at standard licence rates or not renewed.
Content • PDA Content divided into a number of packages • Architecture • Literature • Ballet and Opera • Teacher Education • Psychology • Instructional Film Studies • Cinema Movies and Docos • Special package of miscellaneous videos for QUT • Word clouds used to analyse words for subjects and titles
Workflow for EBL PDA • Large numbers of brief records loaded into catalogue • Invoiced for Short Term Loans (STL) • Full MaRC records on 1st STL • 4th STL triggers invoice for outright purchase
Workflow for Kanopy PDA • Full MaRC records loaded to and updated in catalogue • Libraries Australia IDs • MARCOM • Auto-purchase on 5th view, triggers licence invoice
Library Acceptance • Survey of QUT Liaison Librarians was undertaken in late 2012/early 2013 • Question on purchase models • Results: • General support for the PDA model across all Faculties
Library Acceptance • Results: • Preference for PDA and/or outright purchase over subscription models • One instance of opposition to PDA for both ebooks and online video
Library Acceptance • Issues include: • Content needs to be relevant and good quality • Cost • Lack of relevant content in some subject areas e.g. business • Prefer all models not just one option • Prefer off-air recordings rather than commercial content • Might be used for entertainment
Promotion • Resource Discovery • Library web advert • Library News article • Liaison Librarian role • Kanopy marketing ideas: • Shelf wobblers • Student Guild advert • Flyers • Student competitions
Conclusion • Attractive option given online video cost • Promote student discovery and usage • Influence library acceptance • Academic support still critical
Conclusion • Early stages of trial • If the PDA trial is successful and offered ongoing, other titles can be selected via this method. • Future analyses : • patron engagement • patron and librarian selections Reference List Price, J., & McDonald, J.
