Rolling (Over) in the Deep: Cleaning Up All Continuing Resources with the NASIG Core Competencies in Mind

Adele Laurie Blue Adkins, the diva behind some of our age’s greatest songs, wrote the song “Rolling in the Deep” in 2010. Although this song can be viewed through the lens of either a romantic relationship or a friendship, it is also applicable to the fiscal year rollover process in the library world. In this proceeding, Michelle Colquitt, continuing resources & government information management librarian at Clemson University Libraries, discusses their decision not to roll over continuing resources orders after the prior fiscal year rollover because they required an intense level of cleanup. During this time of intentional order evaluation, workflows and documentation were both created and updated. This paper offers a view of the cleanup of these orders and acquisition data through the lens of the NASIG Core Competencies for Electronic Resources Librarians and NASIG Core Competencies for Print Serials Management.
