Libraries Seek User Feedback on Trial Collections

Friday, November 1, 2024, By Cristina Hatem

Syracuse University Libraries

Syracuse University Libraries is seeking feedback from campus users on new electronic resources for possible inclusion in its collections during the month of November as part of the Libraries’ assessment-based and proactive approach to building collections.

Bird Library

Syracuse University Libraries is seeking feedback from campus users on new electronic resources for possible inclusion in its collections throughout November.

On-campus users are asked to visit the collection development and resource feedback research guide, explore the resources under consideration and provide feedback via the embedded form on that page. Any insight on how well the proposed resource works, the quality and relevance of information contained within the resource and how it might be useful will be helpful in the Libraries’ evaluation. Access is limited to members of the Syracuse University community and is offered in accordance with the licensed web resources policy.

Trial resources have been selected by librarians, with a focus on responding to user requests and bringing new types of tools and content to campus for review. This year’s trials include collections related to African history and culture, public health, social work, social justice, data science, foundational business skills and decolonizing research. Additional tools on trial allow for users to interact with content in new ways via Artificial Intelligence powered search and text and data analysis.

Syracuse University Libraries develops collections in a broad, interdisciplinary, and systematic way to support the teaching, research and creative needs of the campus. Our strategy focuses on three tracks:

  • building a core collection through the acquisition of large e-resource packages in multiple disciplines;
  • fostering a responsive collection through fulfilling direct requests from faculty and students; and
  • curating a specialized collection through the expertise of our subject liaison librarians who work directly with users and anticipate the teaching and research needs of the university.

This approach allows the Libraries to meet individual needs and plan for future needs while building the overall collection.

To suggest a title to explore in the future, please contact your subject librarian or use the suggest a title form. For questions about the trial period, contact Anne Rauh, head of collections and research services.
