5

• To create a sustainable model that strengthens all members’ collections with quality scholarship, addressing the needs of different disciplines in respect to print access (for as long as that is wanted/needed), and is financially sound and reasonable for the libraries, publisher and vendor. 

• Ultimately, it’s taking a group of respected monograph publishers, and trying to use the shared resources among the member libraries to provide greater access to all, and to ease the burden of ebook acquisition.

OUP Pilot Goals

6

• Further examine the duplication of print purchasing among TRLN member libraries

• Review current Oxford Scholarship Online ownership among the libraries

• Detailed discussions about the inclusion and exclusion policies

• Devise a model that allowed shared ownership of the content, reduced the duplication of print and expanded the range of content they could purchase

The Pilot Starts

• Agreement was reached Spring 2012, began purchasing in May 2012.

• Reduced duplication of print – one shared copy of all print books (excluding the sciences) available to all members.

• Key part of the program is experimentation with discounting additional print copies beyond first copy – in the event local copy is needed.

• Ownership of all digital content released on the University Press Scholarship Online within the year (except new presses not signed at the time of the agreement)
