JISC e-books consortia projectSCONUL annual conference and AGM 2013
Friday, June 21, 2013

» To explore if there is an effective way to purchase e-books on a title-by-title basis for collaborative group of academic libraries:
› Would all books have sufficient use to provide value for all the members?
› How could such a collaboration be equitably funded?
› How much would the publishers charge for consortia purchase – and would they think they were getting a good deal (gaining revenue through more sales by providing a consortia discount)?
› How could such a scheme be managed?
The purpose of the project
Jisc board away day3 14-15 May 2013
Max Planck Institutes
» Each Max Planck Institute can order single e-book titles according to its needs
» Pricing for the ordering institute is at factor 1 -- that means at the regular list price for that institute
» Provider invoices the ordering institute
» Access to purchased e-books is activated for the whole Max Planck Society: not only for the ordering institute but for all 80 institutes at no additional cost
Previous e-books consortia projects

» Consorci de Biblioteques Universitàries de Catalunya (CBUC)
» “In 2009 We decided to create our own e-books big deal”:The basic idea:
– Choose 1
– Pay 1 (and CBUC will additionally pay 2)
– Get 9
» Total expenditure 130.000: € 50.000€ from members + 80.000€ from CBUC funds
» Average price per title and member = 12€ (standard price can be 50/60€)

» While the Max Plank and CBUC have trialed the model no analysis was done of usage, cost per usage and value
» Thus no evidence that sharing is a good idea!
Calculating the value
Jisc board away day6 14-15 May 2013
» E-books in the area of engineering
» 5 libraries: Cranfield University, Loughborough University, Brunel University, University of Southampton, University of Newcastle
» 7 publishers: Artech House Inc, Cambridge University Press, John Wiley & Sons Inc , Taylor & Francis Ltd, John Wiley & Sons Inc, Institution of Engineering & Technology, World Scientific
» 1 e-book aggregator: Dawson
Our project
Jisc board away day7 14-15 May 2013
» For the JISC Collections Consortia e-book Pilot each Participating Publisher has agreed to a Multiplier for consortia pricing. › This means that the Selecting Institution will pay the
Standard Fee and JISC Collections will pay the Multiplier Fees
› For example if the agreed Multiplier is 2, the Selecting Institution will pay the Standard Fee and JISC Collections will pay the Multiplier Fee equivalent to 1x Standard Fee
› If the agreed multiplier is 3, the Selecting Institution will pay the Standard Fee and JISC Collections will pay the 2 x Standard Fee
The Multiplier Fee
