Existing standards In examining the adequacy of our monograph collection to meet the heavy research demands of a doctoral program, national standards on library collection levels were reviewed. The most recent recommendation from the Association of College and Research Libraries is a collection level of 25,000 for each doctoral program and 6,000 for each masters program when no higher degree is offered in the field. Having stated this, it is far from clear that many existing doctoral-level programs have library collections reaching these levels. NMSU’s collections fall short of this mark by almost 9,000 volumes. In essence, NMSU Library possesses less than two thirds the recommended volumes for doctoral programs. Louisiana State University and the University of Georgia, the two libraries used for peer comparison for this degree program are either in keeping with the standard collection levels (LSU) or exceed them (UGA). Certainly these universities are much larger than NMSU with more robust collections throughout; however, their average holdings exceed the recommended number of volumes for doctoral programs and both universities have doctoral programs in relevant specialty areas (e.g., Sociology, Physical Education) or else have medical schools (LSU) that boost their respective collections when comparing holdings in kinesiology and related subject areas. Summary The Library has a reasonably current collection relating to kinesiology. In addition, the Library’s larger monographic collection supports several graduate programs in the social sciences, education, and health sciences—all areas which frequently complement kinesiology research. The federal government collection provides a solid foundation for kinesiology research with its rich collection of online, freely available information that augments NMSU’s research resources for kinesiology researchers. Nevertheless, it is clear the NMSU’s monographic collection cannot begin to support a doctoral program in kinesiology, especially in comparison to peer collections at Louisiana State University and the University of Georgia whose core kinesiology collections exceed NMSU’s by 6 to 1. This disparity in a primary area points to a significant weakness in NMSU Library’s holdings. The Library has not been strategically collecting this area due to departmental focus on other areas needing development such as educational aspects of recreation, athletic coaching, and training and specific types of sports. Essentially, NMSU’s kinesiology and its physical education and recreation collections are at the bachelor degree level and will need to grow significantly to support a doctoral degree. According to data supplied by the Library’s book supplier, YBP, there were seventy four monographs, averaging about $100 each, published in the last three years within the QP301-QP336 call number range. NMSU owns nine titles of those seventy four books, or roughly 12%. A complete list of these seventy four titles appears in Appendix D. The Library believes that its current kinesiology and related collections cannot support doctoral level demands. We recommend the commitment of one-time funding of $5,000.00 to strengthen NMSU’s monographic holdings. A one-time allocation would bolster the collection and could focus on purchases in areas strategic to the proposed doctoral program such as kinesiology, human movement and human mechanics. C. Periodical Collection This analysis identified thirty journals (see Appendix B) in the areas of kinesiology, human performance and program focus areas such as community health and recreation, obesity and Appendix B- Library Assessment 6
gerontology to which NMSU Library maintains current subscriptions. The total cost for these related periodical subscriptions, which includes both print and electronic resources, was $19,805.78 in FY10. Many of these journal subscriptions are allocated by the library to support other departmental programs in several colleges (e.g., Biology, Family & Consumer Science, Sociology) due to their primary focus and their interdisciplinary nature. Six of these thirty journal titles are slated for cancelation in FY11. This past spring the Library undertook a materials budget reduction project focusing on reducing budgets with ongoing costs as a result of the Library’s inability to support escalating subscription costs with a flat budget. The target of these budget reductions are the Library’s serials subscriptions, although other budgets such as microforms, newspapers and databases, were also reduced. Access to many of these 30 subscribed journal titles is provided through specific electronic journal packages such as ScienceDirect, Wiley-Blackwell and SpringerLink and through the Library’s aggregator databases – databases offering full-text access to titles in a number of different fields. It should be noted that aggregator databases are reliant upon ongoing negotiations between serial publishers and database vendors, and that access to specific titles and years of coverage can be volatile. The more dependent we are upon aggregators to provide access to research literature, the more vulnerable we are to these market forces. While the terms of any electronic journal package may also change over time, these typically offer a more stabile means of access to research literature. Appendix C presents a chart of the top journals, as determined by Eigenfactor, in each of the three general areas related to the proposed kinesiology PhD program: sports science, gerontology and nutrition. Eigenfactor is one method of determining important frequently-cited journals in a particular field of study and is currently thought to be a more robust metric than journal impact factor as tracked by the company Thomson Scientific (formerly Institute for Scientific Information), because it not only counts incoming citations but also considers the significance of those citations. The chart includes information about NMSU’s access to these titles via print or electronic subscriptions. The Library currently has electronic access to at least 50% of the titles in each of the three general subject areas. However, it should also be noted that many of these titles have a oneyear embargo—that is, the most recent year’s contents are not available electronically through our vendors. Generally, the embargoes appear to apply to journal content made available through aggregator databases (e.g., Academic Search Premier, Academic OneFile) and not through electronic publisher packages. Because NMSU is more reliant on aggregator databases for electronic access to scholarly journals, we face more of these embargoes. Several titles on this Eigenfactor list have been slated for cancellation due to our budget shortfall: Journal of Motor Behavior, Journal of Nutrition, and Nutrition Reviews. Two more seminal journals for kinesiology, American Journal of Physiology and Journal of Physiology were slated for cancellation by the Biology department but were removed from the list based on the possibility of having to support a doctoral program in kinesiology without subscriptions to that program’s two core journals. NMSU Library does not subscribe to several important journals that support research in kinesiology and related fields: International Journal of Obesity, Exercise and Sport Sciences Review and Journal of Aging and Health. These are shown in bold in Appendix C. Along with the above noted titles slated for cancellation; this report strongly recommends subscriptions to these titles. The table below shows availability of these at NMSU and at our peer institutions, Louisiana State University and the University of Georgia, and notes current subscription costs.
