摘要

A Review of: Lamothe, A. R. (2015). Comparing usage between dynamic and static e-reference collections. Collection Building, 34(3), 78-88. http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/CB-04-2015-0006 Objective – To discover whether there is a difference in use over time between dynamically updated and changing subscription e-reference titles and collections, and static purchased e-reference titles and collections. Design – Case study. Setting – A multi-campus Canadian university with 9,200 students enrolled in both graduate and undergraduate programs. Subjects – E-reference book packages and individual e-reference titles. Methods – The author compared data from individual e-reference books and packages. First, individual subscription e-reference books that periodically added updated content were compared to individually purchased e-reference books that remained static after purchase. The author then compared two e-reference book packages that provided new and updated content to two static e-reference book packages. The author compared data from patron usage to new content added over time using regression analysis. Main Results – As the library acquired e-reference titles, dynamic title subscriptions added to the collection were associated with 2,246 to 4,635 views per subscription while static title additions were associated with 8 to 123 views per purchase. The author also found that there was a strong linear relationship between views and dynamic titles added to the collection (R2=0.79) and a very weak linear relationship (R2=0.18) with views when static titles are added to the collection. Regression analysis of dynamic e-reference collections revealed that the number of titles added to each collection was strongly associated with views of the material (R2=0.99), while static e-reference collections were less strongly linked (R2=0.43). Conclusion – Dynamic e-reference titles and collections experienced increases in usage each year while static titles and collections experienced decreases in usage. This indicates that collections and titles that offer new content to users each year will continue to see growth in usage while static collections and titles will see maximum usage within a few years and then begin to decline as they get older. Fresh content is strongly associated with usage in e-reference titles, which mirrors the author’s previous work examining static and dynamic content in e-monographs.

R.(2015)。比较动态和静态电子引用集合之间的用法。收藏大楼34(3)78-88。 http://dx.doi.org/10.1108/CB-04-2015-0006目标–了解动态更新和更改的订购电子参考书名和馆藏以及静态购买的电子参考书之间在使用时间上是否存在差异参考标题和收藏。设计–案例研究。设置–一所加拿大多校区大学,有9,200名学生参加了研究生和本科课程的学习。主题–电子参考书包和单个电子参考书名。方法–作者比较了各个电子参考书和软件包中的数据。首先,将定期添加更新内容的个人订阅电子参考书与购买后保持不变的单独购买的电子参考书进行比较。然后,作者将提供新内容和更新内容的两个电子参考书包与两个静态电子参考书包进行了比较。作者使用回归分析将顾客使用情况数据与随时间增加的新内容进行了比较。主要结果–随着图书馆获取电子参考书名,添加到馆藏中的动态书名订阅与每个订阅2246至4,635个视图相关联,而添加静态书名与每次购买8至123个视图相关联。作者还发现,当将静态标题添加到集合时,视图与添加到集合中的动态标题之间存在强线性关系(R2 = 0.79),而与视图之间的线性关系非常弱(R2 = 0.18)。对动态电子参考馆藏的回归分析显示,添加到每个馆藏的书名数量与材料的观看次数密切相关(R2 = 0.99),而静态电子参引馆藏的关联性较弱(R2 = 0.43)。结论–动态电子参考书名和馆藏的使用量每年都在增加,而静态书名和馆藏的使用量每年都在减少。这表明每年向用户提供新内容的馆藏和标题的使用量将继续增长,而静态馆藏和标题的使用量将在几年内达到最高,然后随着年龄的增长而下降。新鲜内容与电子参考书目的使用密切相关,这与作者以前的工作有关,研究电子书中的静态和动态内容。
