Dr. Jeffrey Spies is the founder of 221B LLC, a strategic consulting firm combining expertise in research technology and methodology, data analysis, and open access/data/science policy to accelerate projects across higher-ed. His clients have primarily included academic libraries and library consortia, academic research units and centers, and private philanthropic foundations. Since 2019, Jeffrey has been leading or supporting negotiations between academic libraries and journal publishers. Finalized in late 2022, he led negotiations for 44 Texas institutions of a $26M/year contract with academic publisher Elsevier, resulting in savings of $4.5M/year, open access discounts, highly improved contract terms, and a pilot project to revert copyrights to original authors. Jeffrey currently leads negotiations for the Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries in their 2023 negotiation with Elsevier.

Prior to 221B, Jeff co-founded and served as the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the Center for Open Science, a non-profit formed to maintain his research workflow management and sharing platform, the Open Science Framework. He has a Ph.D. in Quantitative Psychology (i.e., behavioral statistics) from the University of Virginia and a background in computer science. Over the past decade, Jeffrey has raised nearly $38M in philanthropic and federal funding, designed and co-led the large-scale methodological effort the Reproducibility Project: Psychology, and published on topics including the psychology of scholarly incentives. He has been the primary architect and developer of tools that have served millions of users. Jeffrey is regularly invited to speak about openness, reproducibility, and the role of technology in scholarship, which includes testifying on these topics at a United States House congressional hearing.

Colorado Alliance & Elsevier Negotiations

The Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries (Alliance) has initiated a new round of contract negotiations with Elsevier for its academic members in Colorado and Wyoming.  Using a common set of principles to think creatively about access to faculty publications and the sustainability of journal subscriptions, the consortium has engaged Dr. Jeffrey Spies as the lead in this round of contract negotiations. Although the Alliance has had a series of multi-year consortial Elsevier contracts since 2005, this 2023 round of discussions will hopefully provide an improved and sustainable model for reading and publishing for its member libraries.  Some of our goals include improved access to scholarship, provide greater control over publishing faculty content, and finding a pricing model that is sustainable for strained library budgets in the consortium.

Inquiries regarding this negotiation please email Lead Negotiator, Dr. Jeffrey Spies

Requesting

Q. How do I request a digital item through Prospector? 

A.  You request digital items just like a physical item.  The status will show "available".  Click on the Request button and complete the authentication form.  The request will show up on the owning libraries paging slip.  The owning library retrieves the item from their database and sends the borrowing library contact (Prospector contact list) an email which includes a link to retrieve the item and the expiration date. The borrowing library contact forwards this email onto their patron.  

Q.  What does the borrowing library need to do to check the item out to their patron?

A.  The borrowing library doesn't need to check the item out to their patron.  The lending library does a quick check out and check in before they email the borrowing library contact.  

Q. What is the checkout period for digital items?  

A. It depends on the resource. Typically 2-3 weeks with no renewals. 

Q. Can there be simultaneous checkouts of digital items? 

A. Yes, the owning library checks the item out and then in again which frees it up immediately for another request. 

Q. Can digital items be renewed 

A. No

Q. What are the different Ebook ILL models?

Direct delivery of PDF (or ePub)

• Requires a transport service (e.g. Hightail) since files too big to send as email attachments
• DRM free and patrons may keep after downloading from transport service
• Examples include Springer & Elsevier

In-situ Ebook Access

• Delivery of tokenized URL to publisher or aggregator portal
• Patron reads the ebook in the portal with all of the advantages that the portal provides
• Ebook access automatically disappears when time-period ends
• Downloads, if supported, often require something like Adobe Digital Editions
• Examples include ProQuest Ebook ILL Pilot, AVON & Swank (Streaming Video)

Q.  Which streaming videos allow public performance rights

A. Alexander Street Videos 

Licensing

Q.  What are some talking points to publishers to encourage Ebook ILL? 

• Libraries have been doing ILL since the 1800s and it has been codified in US Copyright Law
• New formats should not lead to loss of traditional library services
• Libraries do not have the funds to purchase in multiple formats (print & digital) to support ILL
• Trend with publishers to support ebook ILL, don’t be left out!
• The pandemic has highlighted the need for digital delivery
• We’ve found that ebook ILL provisions have increased ebook package sales in the consortium
• With limited funds we will give preference to those that allow ILL

Q.  Which libraries lend digital content through Prospector? 

A.  See Digital Lending through Prospector

Q. Which publishers participate in the ProQuest Ebook Central pilot?

A. List includes:

• Bloomsbury
• Brill
• Duke University Press
• NYU Press
• Oxford University Press
• Taylor & Francis

There is plan to add more publishers in 2023. 

Q. Can short term loan (STLs) be borrowed through ProQuest

A. No, only "owned" titles may be requested. 

Q. It looks like the request disappeared from my patron record as soon as it was filled. Correct?

A. Yes, the patron request is removed from Prospector and the ILS once processed, at the email is sent, the request  is considered filled from Prospector's point of view.
