“…With an overwhelming interest in and need for effective evaluation, academic libraries are struggling to find the most effective ways to evaluate the content of electronic resources and their use, when deciding on acquisitions for their collections. Usually this can be achieved in two ways, by evaluating both what was collected and actually used, and also what was not collected and should have been (Danielson, 2012). We could combine both, as we had a clear situation before joining the consortia and after.…”

Linking a publication with scientific research results and the use of information resources is a key component of the collection, development and assessment of an academic library. Librarians often use quantitative data, but it is not easy to come by. Directly connecting library and information services to the impact they have can be quite difficult. Focusing on the 2010–2014 period, we have linked the quality and quantity of published papers to usage statistics for the newly acquired consortia access to scholarly journals in three international publisher databases: ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and WileyOnline. We found that the share of scholarly journals from the ScienceDirect, SpringerLink and WileyOnline consortia cited by University of Primorska researchers’ in their scholarly papers has gradually increased every year, ranging from 13.5% in 2010 up to 24.8% in 2014. The share of scholarly papers published by University of Primorska researchers’ in scholarly journals with the highest impact (measured in Web of Science and Scopus) has also increased substantially, from 18.03% in 2011 to 31.55% in 2014. Study shows that better access to quality information resources for scientific researchers lead to an increase in its use and results in higher quality research shown by the gradual increase of publications of research results in higher impact scholarly journals.

“…Une future piste de recherche est de voir l'utilisation même de cette collection. Je me suis ici intéressée à ce que certaines bibliothèques offraient à leurs usagers en termes de monographies dans leurs collections courantes, mais, comme le souligne Danielson (2012), il serait intéressant de considérer l'utilisation même des documents et les demandes non rencontrées des usagers (telles que révélées par le prêt entre bibliothèques, par exemple).…”

RésuméLes femmes sont sous-représentées en philosophie. Dans cet article, je me demande si cette sous-représentation se répercute dans les collections monographiques des quatre bibliothèques universitaires montréalaises, anglophones et francophones, que sont l'Université Concordia, l'Université McGill, l'Université de Montréal et l'Université du Québec à Montréal. La présence des femmes philosophes dans les collections monographiques générales des universités montréalaises est ici analysée à l'aide de deux méthodologies : l'évaluation par liste et l'évaluation systématique stratifiée. Les avantages et limitations de chaque méthode sont discutés. Notamment, les différentes options des interfaces des catalogues, les différences entre les départements de philosophie desservis et les bibliothèques elles-mêmes causent des variations ne permettant pas une comparaison juste entre les collections monographiques. Comme résultats, il est tout de même possible de discerner que les femmes philosophes, à quelques exceptions près, sont sévèrement sous-représentées, comme auteures de monographies, et leurs oeuvres, comme objets d'études. Selon mon échantillon, les femmes ne représentent pas le quart des auteures de monographies disponibles dans les collections étudiées. Cette recherche, exploratoire par son originalité et sa taille, révèle déjà un besoin criant de mise en valeur des femmes philosophes par leur promotion et l'acquisition de leurs oeuvres et de leurs commentateurs. Des études parallèles dans le monde des sciences me permettent de croire qu'une présence accrue de femmes en philosophie participera à renverser cette situation.

“…Moreover,Pastine (1996) also enumerated a number of methodologies in literature, which have received some acceptance and use in academic and research libraries viz; Quantitative methods and Qualitative methods. In this context,Carrigan (1996);Danielson (2012), argues, "For a balanced assessment of collection development and acquisitions evaluating both use and ILL statistics is indispensable." On the other hand, Andrews,Monday & Williams (2006, as cited in…”

Basically, since the main purpose of every library is to collect, organize, preserve, conserve and provide knowledge and information materials available to users, hence the researchers decides to examined and understudy the trends in collection development department and how information resources are preserved in Lagos State University Library, Ojo-Lagos. This study revealed that the collection development in library helps in conserving information resources in order to reflect the library mission which is collect, organize, preserve, conserve. Also, this study recommended that policies in collection development should be given serious consideration in the building library collections. Therefore, there is need for tertiary institutions especially Lagos State University to provide adequate funding for resources and maintain a good and up-to-date maintenance ethics for better preservation and conservation of the information resources.
