Broken out by type of law library Law School Library 1) Not cancelling them sooner 2) We have been quite conservative with weeding our print collection Up to now, we have not had many great regrets We realize we will need to be more aggressive on this front in the coming years 3) Should have purchased more monograph treatises 4) When I started working here five years ago the library purchased many things in print that were easier to use online (for example, periodical indexes and Shepard's) and did not subscribe to databases that we should have provided to our users I reversed those decisions as soon as possible Law Firm Library in Firm with Less than 150 lawyers 1) Cancelling online access to journals after throwing away the same print archive (not my choice!), therefore having to restart digital subscriptions at a premium 2) Not having fixed-price-increase agreements with publishers; but those have only been available recently 3) deciding to cater to the pro-book anti-electronic wishes of certain attorney(s) 4) Giving leeway for attorneys to maintain some of the "bigger" treatises in print format We currently have titles we carry in both print and electronic format It should only be one or the other 5) none 6) Duplication Not only multiple copies in print, but also same title in multiple mediums (print, online, e-book) Law Firm Library in Firm with more than 150 lawyers 1) Not reducing the print collection more aggressively after seeing them sit on the shelves unused for several years 2) Not being more aggressive in culling outdated materials 3) Not weeding items that should have been tossed 4) Letting it go on too long 5) not having a library Committee with Attorney member from each practice group - We have one now 6) Listening to the squeaky wheels and keeping print materials as requested, instead of sticking with a collection development policy/plan driven by firm strategy and budget Corporate/Government Law Library 1) Not cataloguing new materials immediately; creating a backlog 83 | P a g e Law Library Plans for the Print Materials Collection, 2018 Edition 2) Not cancelling certain types of print subscriptions soon enough (U.S codes and case law, international war crimes tribunal proceedings), and thereby limiting our spending potential in those years 3) when canceling print journals/magazines, not taking into consideration the how long the current issue shows up in an electronic database 4) n/a 5) Doing a through collection analysis to ensure that usability requirements, change management, business continuity plans are addressed for users 6) Participating in ThomsonReuters/West Publishing Library Management Agreement (LMA) 7) We have not paid enough attention to weeding the collection This requires a clear understanding of the library's mandate, which has suffered from a lack of leadership, and which is currently being remediated Courthouse Law Library 1) We have one library serving an entire province We spent too much money building the print collection for one building without considering how users in other parts of the province would access the materials Should have been buying e-books with remoteaccess licenses 2) Not moving aggressively enough to eliminate all printed material which is duplicated online 3) We would like to see more changes, but ultimately, we serve at the whim of the judges and administration 4) Maintaining some case law reporters and selected less used or referenced treatises that are more conveniently located and accessed electronically, be they subscription or free access (i.e NO ONE, (even the most wealthy law firms) with limited budget issues would maintain the National Reporters in hard copy .etc unless you have Harvard University like budget sources .:) 5) Keeping too many law journals and continuing to pay for binding of law journals 84 | P a g e .. .Law Library Plans for the Print Materials Collection, 2018 Edition 2|Page Law Library Plans for the Print Materials Collection, 2018 Edition Table of Contents THE QUESTIONNAIRE... accounted for a mean of 65.74% of the print materials budget for the libraries sampled, with a median of 70% and a range of 25% to 22 | P a g e Law Library Plans for the Print Materials Collection,. .. much has the library spent on print forms of legal and other directories in 2018 (anticipated)?
