Abstract
In 2020 the UConn Library was tasked with reducing its collections commitments by $2.5M to accommodate a series of recissions. Due to the scale of the necessary reductions, only systematically breaking “big deal” commitments would meet the budget challenges. To achieve this goal, the Library created a five-year strategy to unbundle all big deal packages and create a new model of journal access, transitioning from a “just in case” to a “just in time” mindset. Join us as we share our journey through this process that required us to create our own roadmap to meet our community’s needs, making decisions and troubleshooting along the way. Our presentation covers the process of this major transition and the unique approach we took to restructuring the concept of access to journal content; testing and implementing Article Galaxy Scholar in Alma and Primo; and lessons learned throughout the process.
