While CPU is widely used, it also widely criticized and should not be relied on to the exclusion of other factors when assessing ROI. Because CPU is an imperfect measure, the authors developed a new, complementary metric for evaluating e-journal subscription ROI: Cost-per-cited reference (CPCR). CPCR assigns a dollar value to each citation of a particular journal by authors affiliated with the subscribing institution during a specified time period. By focusing on the content that researchers cite in their scholarly output, a CPCR metric assists in measuring the value of journal subscriptions to researchers and the institutions that support them. This article gives a very high-level overview of a collaborative project, conducted by librarians in the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), to develop a local CPCR metric and apply that metric to the evaluation of a consortial Big Deal. The authors explain CPCR, how they calculated and applied it to a particular shared Big Deal, and where they would like to take it in future. A more in-depth description of this project may be found in Serials Review’s final issue for 2016 (Martin, Gray, Kilb, & Minchew, n.d.).}, booktitle={"Roll With the Times, or the Times Roll Over You"}, publisher={Purdue University Press}, author={Klib, Megan and Martin, Virginia and Minchew, Tessa}, year={2017} } @article{martin_gray_kilb_minchew_2016, title={Analyzing Consortial “Big Deals” via a Cost-Per-Cited-Reference (CPCR) Metric}, volume={42}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85007143951&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1080/00987913.2016.1248218}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT This article documents the process and outcome of a collaborative project, conducted by librarians in the Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN), to develop a local cost-per-cited-reference (CPCR) metric to evaluate ejournal packages and to apply that metric to the evaluation of a consortial Big Deal. When considered with CPU and other germane factors, work done to calculate CPCR by TRLN librarians can help other libraries and consortia make data-driven decisions about continuing, breaking up, and/or entering into package deals. The authors will discuss the rationale behind harvesting citation data from Scopus versus Web of Science, the work involved in assembling the data set and calculating CPCR, the value of the data when making selection decisions, and the value of completing this work.}, number={4}, journal={Serials Review}, author={Martin, V. and Gray, T. and Kilb, M. and Minchew, T.}, year={2016}, pages={293–305} } @article{hutchins_minchew_2016, title={Pulling It All Together: Using CORAL ERM for Serials Acquisitions Management}, volume={42}, ISSN={["1879-095X"]}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84990861407&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1080/00987913.2016.1212457}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT In late 2015, the Serials Unit of the North Carolina State University Libraries Acquisitions & Discovery department began using CORAL as a workflow tool for tracking and processing new orders.

The conference was a homecoming for Frick, who is a graduate of the University of North Carolina MSLS program and is currently the Director of the Digital Library Federation Program for the Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR), a think tank and research organization located in Washington, D.C. The Digital Library Federation (DLF) has been in existence since 1995, its target audiences being digital library practitioners and other interested parties who are on the front-lines of teaching and learning in this specialty. In her address entitled “Who, What, Where, Why, and How,” Frick discussed some of the major initiatives and issues currently occurring within and around librarianship, exploring the effect that these large scale initiatives can, and should, have at the local level.
