Agenda

• Introduction: Tackling the problem

• Purpose of building consortia

• Characteristics of successful consortia

• Integration issues in budget saving, collection development and administration

• Statistical Proof

• Outlook: The National Backfiles Project



3

Tackling the problem (radically)

•

Librariesstruggling under- Budget constraints- Increasing expenses- Inflation of resources- Users‘ demands for more



4

Tackling the problem (reasonably)

Building Consortia!



5

Purpose of building consortia Building a community of libraries entering

into a cooperative agreement to share information or provide services that benefit students and staff

Pooling their individual fiscal, human, and material resources to take advantage of more favourable agreements with publishers, or arrange to share staff technical expertise

Making up for local cancellations by Cross Access Agreements



6

Characteristics of successful consortia(Hirshon, A.: International Library Consortia: How Did We Get Here? Where are We Going?)

Valuable programs and servicesClear sponsorship and ownership Committed membershipStrong leadershipEffective committeesContinuous communicationSustainable organizationAdequate staffing (Usually not only volunteers)Agile organizations



7

Budget Saving through Integrated Collection Development

Small libraries can share journals they could never afford Multi-year agreements offer substantial capping of annual increase Comparatively low or no additional charge at all for Cross Access or UTL Access Enclosure of new journals into existing packages for free one year trials Consortia deals still save a lot of money: Graz University Library 2004 savings at Springer: € 94.236 (Cross Access compared to Single Site Subscriptions)



8

Assets for IntegrationCollection development Consistency of holdings can no longer be granted due to

budget constraints Swiftly changing relevance of holdings because of:

New subject fields Establishing new departments Temporary research projects New journals Splitting of journals

Just-in-time supply instead of Just-in-case Consortia (particularly if they go e-only) help libraries to

react dynamically to their users‘ demands as (even in packages) titles can usually be substituted by others



9

Assets for IntegrationAdministration

Simplifying orders: One order for hundreds of titles Joint cataloguing For e-only-titles (local ones as well as CA or UTL

ones)no issue adminno claimsno bindingno shelving

Controlling made easy: Hundreds of journals bundled in one file of stats
