This presentation will cover the fast-paced requirement to reduce the collections budget by approximately five percent within three months. This session will cover information about a Renewal Decision Matrix created in collaboration with the Associate Dean for Collections & Discovery and Acquisitions Department staff. This will also cover efforts to conduct quick assessments during the hectic Fall 2025 semester. This session will also include information about collaborating with subject matter experts (i.e., liaison librarians) to determine the best titles to cancel quickly. While this session will primarily focus on cancellations of both print and electronic standalone serials, assessment measures for database subscriptions will also be discussed. This session will also include information about future trends in academic libraries. This session will conclude with a respectful discussion of the academic library landscape, including an exploration of potential areas for research collaboration.
