Meeting called to order at 10:00am. Copies of agenda and
minutes from previous meeting distributed. Conference call set up. Minutes from
July 20, 2009 meeting approved with minor revisions.
1.EBook Plan - Review progress to date and discuss next
steps.
Two EBL models are the Shared
Acquisitions Model and the Demand/Patron
Driven Model. We have not yet received the proposal back from EBL as of
meeting date. The print/ebook overlap information from Blackwell has not yet
been received, but is expected soon.
Next steps include:
(1)
Receive proposal from EBL
(2)
Get overlap data from Blackwell
(3)
Likely select certain publishers and block from
vendor (Blackwell/YBP) profiles
(4)
Initially, purchases will be through EBL. The
EBL dashboard allows libraries to see what has been purchased, used, rented.
Caps on spend and dollar limit per book can be modified in the dashboard.)
Purchase Model platform fee is either a flat $1500 (annual)
fee or 10% of the cost added to each book.
In the Shared Acquisitions Model, there are two different
approaches to obtaining the ebook content:
a.
Individual Collection Model
Library purchasing 1st copy pays full price; 2nd
library's price is discounted (for example 2nd library may pay 60%
of the cost); 3rd library's price is further discounted. There may
be a possibility of all libraries sharing after a certain number of copies is
purchased.
b.
Shared Purchase Model - purchase up front
Consortium pays platform fee and 100% of list price. Then
each member library pay 40% of list. This is not a demand driven model.
Suggestion is that once 3 or 4 libraries purchase, the ebook becomes accessible
to all. The purchase is actually the right to access the ebook 325 times per
year; then, the next year the 325 uses are renewed.
In the Demand/Patron Driven Model, proposed features
include:
a.
ebook records would be put into local catalog
for discovery and access
b.
access for first 5 minutes is free. Any book,
any time.
c.
any use beyond 5 minutes can either
(1)
become a rental for 5%-20% of list price. Average price is about 11%.
(2)
become a purchase if the usage gets past a certain number of uses
DU is seriously considering the Demand Driven Model.
Additional considerations:
·
EBL works with Portico for archival purposes.
·
EBL offers discrete subject collections
·
Need to decide what each library's catalog
displays
·
Need to decide what ebooks to make available for
Demand Driven Model
·
Need to decide what goes into Prospector. How to
make accessible? How to facilitate the purchases? Concern expressed about
sharing patron account information with a 3rd party vendor, but
there seems to be no alternative.
·
MyILibrary continues to be interested in an
Alliance deal; they are working on a Demand Driven Model. However,
MyILibrary does not work with YBP.
·
The EBL models do not allow for ILL. The ILL
function could turn into a rental which is cheaper than a traditional ILL
transaction. A non-Alliance library would have the option to rent an ebook
instead of interlibrary loaning it.
·
Concern about the joint/consortial management
and record keeping and how EBL will be able to manage this.
·
New cataloging standard is to create
provider/vendor neutral records. Therefore, records won't have the aggregator
information.
2. Print Legacy
Strategies
Alliance discussed with Rick Lugg about working together to
better manage print journal and book collections. A subcommittee of SCDC was
formed to work on an Alliance strategy. Members include Yem Fong, Michael
Levine-Clark, Douglas Stehle, Joan Lamborn, and Carol Dickerson (chair).
Considerations will include how the national strategies and PASCAL figure into
our approach.
3. Database Reports
(1) Wiley/Blackwell and GWLA continue to negotiate on that
renewal. CSU and CU will likely stay with the GWLA deal.
(2) ACS price increases are of concern in this renewal.
Libraries need to communicate with Terry about staying in the package or not
very soon. An early renewal commitment garners a 3% discount. However, 2 new
ejournals titles were added to the package and libraries must subscribe. The 3%
discount does not apply to these 2 new titles or to the archives price.
(3) Economist negotiation is completed and libraries must
communicate with Terry if they want to participate or not very soon. Discussion
about pushing this deal to the end of the fiscal year will be followed up by
Terry.
(4)Springer - Terry
is working on the archive list for the journals. She has not received the
Springer contract back from them yet. Springer ebooks can be ILL by chapter
PDFs. Colorado College and CSU will be the two lending libraries. If a patron
requests one of these books, the request will go to CC or CSU and the resulting
PDFs will go to the requesting libraries not directly to the end-user (don't
know individual emails). We have a deal with YouSendIt.com which sends the
end-user an email with a link. Patron goes to the link and fines the
interlibrary loaned chapter PDF. Policies/procedures will be on the Alliance
website. Rose will send out that website link. Terry has shared a checklist for
negotiating electronic resources licenses.
4.Elsevier Statistics
- Libraries need to send to Michael if they have not already done so.
5. Fall Schedule
- Next SCDC Meeting will be Oct 19, then Dec 14. Next Subcommittee meetings
will be Sept 28, then Nov 16
