English Literature Collection Assessment 2007Prepared by Harry D. Nuttall

(May 2007)

Introduction

Based on guidelines provided by the WLN Collection Assessment Service, which provides a framework within which to evaluate a library’s current holdingsand the level of activity at which the collection is being developed, the English Literature collection is rated an overall 3cP (advanced study level, predominantly English). The English Literature collection is central to the University curriculum since it supports study for degree programs in English at both the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels and degrees in language arts and secondary education offered by the College of Education, as well as K-12 teachers pursuing the Master’s degree. The collection also supports students taking a minor in English along with the degree in their major field. Refer to the conspectus sheets and checklist tables at the end of this narrative for a more detailed examination of the library’s holdings.

Holdings

The English Literature collection contains 34,367 print titles in the Library of Congress classification PR. The PR classification encompasses the literatures of the British Isles and current and former countries of the British Commonwealth and colonies. This number includes titles in the circulating, periodicals, reference, and juvenile collections. In addition, there are 6,052 entries in the Library of English Literature microbook set (PR1105.L5). Also, there are 185 electronic books classed in PR. And, there are over 10,000 titles in the Early English Books microfilm series and classed in the LC classification PN that contains many titles of which the content would fall under the rubric of “English Literature.”

Further, the classification PZ is designated “Fiction in English.” There are 15,515 titles classed in the range PZ1 through PZ10. Of these, 4,364 titles are classed in PZ1 through PZ4. This narrower range excludes the juvenile titles classed in PZ5-PZ10.

The decrease in titles classed in PR (34,367) since thee May 2001 assessment (34,526) can be attributed to several factors: a change in the methodology for counting items; 56 titles representing 65 volumes were withdrawn from the Library’s collection from October 2001 through September 2006; and, numerous titles on Children’s Literature were reclassified into the L’s and relocated to the Education collection.

Holdings in the related subject collections of American Literature; Western European Literatures; Languages and Related Literatures; History; Art; Auxiliary Sciences of History; Philosophy, Ethics, and Religion; and General Works provide supplemental support to the English Literature Collection.

Note: The decrease in serials expenditures from 2004 on can be attributed to the Library’s consortia, Network of Alabama Academic Libraries (NAAL) absorbing the MLA Bibliography Online subscription costs. The Library still enjoys use of the database but no longer has to pay the subscription for it.

Books

The library’s collecting level was measured against the Blackwell’s All Publishers’ Approval Plan Coverage. The average added from 2001 through 2006 is 17.9% This rate is below the 21 to 25 percent acquisitions level stipulated to maintain a 3c collection. Much of the budget for English Literature is encumbered for standing orders. These standing orders should be reviewed and perhaps reduced in number, and other tactics should be adopted to bring the purchasing ratio up to the recommended 25 per cent for a collection rated 3c.

Access to Electronic Resources (Defined Access)

The library’s defined access is rated a 3c (Advanced Study or Instructional Support). Houston Cole Library subscribes to an extensive collection of remotely accessible electronic resources such as indexes, journals, electronic books, full text aggregator databases and special subject-related services. Most of the electronic journal titles are integrated, analyzed, and accessible through the library’s online Voyager catalog.

Houston Cole Library’s print holdings in English literature are enhanced by access to electronic resources such as the MLA Bibliography Online, EBSCO’sAcademic Search Premier and Literary Reference Center, Gale’s Academic Onefile and Literature Resource Center, and H.W. Wilson’s Humanities Index and OmniFile Full Text Mega. Full text articles pertaining to English literaturealso can be accessed through aggregator databases covering other fields such as psychology and sociology. Additionally, subject specialist librarians review and recommend sites from the World Wide Web for inclusion in the Voyager catalog.

rev. 20075

There are 185 e-books in the English Literature collection. These can be located via a direct link to the vendor’s website or through the online catalog.

Preservation Commitment

The Preservation Commitment is rated a 2, Physical Preservation Level. Material is retained for its useful life and mended whenever possible. When the item is beyond mending, efforts are made to replace it. Because materials on literature have a longer useful life than those in, for example, the physical sciences, there is no systematized weeding or planned replacement programfor the English Literature collection.

Supplemental Support

Holdings in the related subject collections of American Literature; Western European Literatures; Languages and Related Literatures; History; Art; Auxiliary Sciences of History; Philosophy, Ethics, and Religion; and General Works provide supplemental support to the English Literature collection.

SUMMARY

Strengths:

The areas in English Literature most heavily used to supplement the curriculum -- Shakespeare and Literatures of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries -- continue to have more than adequate holdings.. In addition, there has been an observed increase in the use of the holdings in History and Criticism by form and period and literature from the periods of 1900-1960 (modern literature) and 1961-present (contemporary literature). Collection activity in these areas has been enhanced in response.

The library's holdings in Old and Middle English, Chaucer, Renaissance Prose and Poetry, and Renaissance Playwrights are more than adequate for study at the advanced level. It should also be noted that the library owns complete microform sets of the Early English Books (STC 1), Early English Text Society Publications, and the English Literary Periodicals. In addition, the library has substantial holdings of the Early English Books (STC II) and 3 units of the Eighteenth Century (STC III). Collection activity in non-print media also has increased since the last assessment, mainly due to budget adjustments.

The greatest improvement in the English Literature collection can be attributed to the proliferation of aggregator databases and other electronic resources, as these address the area where the collection customarily had been the weakest, access to full text articles within the periodical literature. Further, liaison

rev. 20076

activities with English Department faculty have been intensified, resulting in increased faculty input with collection development.

Weaknesses:

The major weakness of the English Literature collection is the low rate of Acquisitions Activity. Forty per cent of the budget allocated for the English Department is encumbered by standing orders. The manner in which the resources are allocated must be scrutinized, particularly the standing orders. The increase in electronic resources may permit the cancelling of some of these.Although communication and liaison with English Department faculty have improved, more still can be done, particularly in the area of curriculum support.

Recommendations Collection activity should be increased to maintain the current 3cP level. In particular, the acquisitions level must be brought above 21%, which means that purchasing strategies should be re-assessed. The reference collection should continue to receive attention. Communication with English Department faculty should continue to improve, particularly in ways which will help the collection support assignments given students. As textbooks are revised, more colonial or Commonwealth writers are included, and this development in the canon is reflected in assignment patterns. Some writers’ representation in the collection is insufficient to handle the assignment load. More input from faculty regarding their class assignments could remedy this.

It is also highly recommended that the Subject Specialist create an approval plan profile in the Blackwell ‘s Book Service Collection Manager. By doing so, the better the likelihood that the weakest areas will be addressed by future acquisitions.
