SELL? - BUY!

CLAIMSConsortia ofLibrariesAround andIn MediterraneanSea


SELL members share some common problems, such as:

English as 2nd language no so common as in other non English speaking countries

an education system quite different from the Anglo-Saxon model

weak purchasing power due to very inadequate budgets

poor tradition in library cooperation Not a very relevant role of the libraries within the

university


SELL offers a platform to its consortia members to:

set common goals in order to promote the special requirements of its members to information publishers

draw common policies support other fields of cooperation aimed at

providing quality of access and expansion of e-information for the academic and research communities.


SELL Statements 2001:

“Why some libraries and consortia are paying too much for e-information”

2002: Statement on VAT

2004: “New pricing model of Elsevier for

ScienceDirect”


Why some libraries are paying too much

Model prices based on ‘nordic’ countries FTE non applicable Campus licenses non applicable University teaching based on lectures and

studying notes Universities play an occupational role for

young people A very low knowledge of English (even among

the university population)


Statement on VAT SELL libraries pay the highest VAT rate for

electronic information. SELL asserts that:

scientific, research and educational e- information must be taxed at the same rate as information in print

it is highly required that governments apply VAT at either reduced or zero rates

it is essential to reach the lowest equal rate for print and electronic information

consortia Similar level of activities The most important e- resources licensed

at the same level but more in C&N

OA = opportunities Make national scientific production more

visible Help universities to improve their research

quality and journals Libraries could be more relevant for

universities !!!


Repositories function

Increase the amount of information available on the Web and offer it in an open and interoperable way

Guarantee present and future access Allow use and ‘reuse’

In future applications In different applications


Type of repositories

Individual vs. Collective Specialized vs. Institutional Monoformat vs. Multiformat Monofunctional vs. Multifunctional

In the future we will have to use and manage different repositories: some of them local,most

of them remote


PLEIADI Portal for Italian scholarly e- literature in

open archives and IR Collaboration between 2 consortia

(CASPUR & CILEA) Aim: building a national platform that offers

centralized access to the scholarly literature archived in Italian repositories


2 level architecture IR repositories in universities

Data and metadata OAI

Portal (PLEIADI) Collect metadata by harvesting Metadata are filtered (crosswalking),

normalized and indexed PLEIADI = joint search interface & services


RECERCAT

Cooperative repository of working papers For universities and research centers Collaboration between 2 consortia (Cesca – computing & CBUC - libraries) Open access to full text under CC licence of Recognition-NonCommercial-Without DerivateWork Open code Software: DSpace

Chosen by a work group


RECERCAT University libraries promote self archiving

Collect data Introduce metadata

CBUC – Cesca Defines procedures Support the server Guarantees preservation


RACO

Open access portal for disseminating and increasing the visibility of scholarly journals published in Catalonia Nearly 300 Now 92 in RACO


RACO Open access to full text (some of them with mooving

wall) At present 16 participant institutions Project economically supported by the Catalan

government Working methods similar to RECERCAT Open code software: OJS


Collective decisions (software, metadata, advocacy...)

Consolidation and prestige (more documents, more accesses...)

Visibility Preservation

Immediate participation with established procedures:

Technology (hardware, software, OAI, etc.) Legal topics (type of agreements and contracts) Technical and management topics (maintenance of the database,

advising, intranet, etc.)

Advantages of collective repositories


Working together (consortia) can help libraries to transform them in (more) powerful institutions
