Lana to Present at Timberline Acquisitions Institute

The Acquisitions Institute at Timberline Lodge has accepted Amy Lana’s paper “Monographic titles cited in faculty-authored works” as one of 12 papers to be presented during the 2013 Institute.  From the abstract:  A study of monographic titles cited in faculty-authored works was conducted in 2010 by the University of Colorado (CU) Libraries; the University of Missouri (MU) Libraries agreed to replicate the study in response to a call by the authors.  This paper will present the results from the MU Libraries study, which shows interesting variances from the original study, especially in the areas of acquisition method and type and age of the resources used.  Additional data collected on holdings within the MU Libraries’ consortium provides insight into whether a shared collection policy might serve the needs of the various libraries.
