摘要:In the past two decades, library collections have gone through drastic changes, moving
from print based to primarily electronic based. The transition started with electronic
indexes and abstracts, then e-journals, e-books, and finally online streaming videos (OSV).
New technology brings new challenges as well as opportunities. Librarians must keep
abreast of:
● ongoing developments in new acquisitions models (subscription vs. purchase, local
campus acquisitions vs. consortia deals, librarian-selection vs. user-selection etc.),
● new pricing models (single year pricing, multi-year pricing, pricing based on FTEs
or on usage, etc.) and
● new assessment methods and standards (vendor usage statistics, web logins and
standardized usage guided by library professional organizations).
Through literature reviews and a study of the usage of two OSV databases during six
semesters at California State University of San Marcos, this research aims to review the
OSV trends in collection building/management and OSV use in academic libraries.
The research findings indicated that OSV was a valuable teaching and learning resource at
CSUSM. More longitudinal studies covering wider OSV resources would be valuable to
test and support this observation.
