Usage data has become more and more important in collection development
today, but how are librarians to use this information in a way that informs
collections thoughtfully. Should historical usage drive acquisitions, or
should collections be built with maximum usage in mind? What kinds of
decisions are made based on usage patterns? How much weight should be given
to usage versus “just in case” collection building. The panelists will
speak of best practices for obtaining, analyzing, and putting to use the
myriad data available today.

Opportunities, and Alternatives” – We will discuss how resource sharing
electronic resources differs from interlibrary loan services based on

services to the contemporary user. What are the implications of these
changes for libraries in terms of administration, organizational structure,
and professional specialization, as well as routine business processes and
workflows?

*Subject Analysis Committee II (Cataloging and Metadata Management Section)*

*Description*: Presentation from 1:00-2:00 p.m. by Gordon Dunsire, Chair of
the Joint Steering Committee for RDA, titled “What is an RDA subject?”
Abstract – The JSC agreed at its meeting in Washington, D.C., November 3-7,
2014, to add the high-level relationship “Subject” to RDA. It will be
applicable only to the Work entity. Subject relationship designators will
be accommodated in a new appendix M in RDA Toolkit. This presentation will
describe the reasoning behind the JSC's decisions and the intended impact
on the utility of RDA. Specific issues include alignment with the FRBR and
linked data (Dublin Core Abstract Model) models, clarification of the
treatment of embedded descriptions in RDA such as Expressions which contain
(meta)data describing another RDA entity, and changes to the RDA element
set, relationship designators, and RDA Registry.

*Where*: Hilton Chicago, International South

*When*: February 2, 2015 - 1:00-4:00 p.m. (presentation from 1:00-2:00 p.m.)
