Why Ebooks? Why PDA?• Why Ebooks?
– Already Succeeding Sharing Print– Coordinate Ebook Collection Development– Pool and Share Ebook Expertise– Leverage Consortial Purchasing Power
• Why PDA?– Mirrors Unmediated Direct Borrowing– Print Usage Declining
• “End of Academic Library Circulation?” by Will Kurt
– Stretch Our Dollars

A few things youcan’t do with aneBook…
A proposal for three eBook acquisition models Peter Zuber

![Page 25: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
FIRST – Inclusion of all Titles
“All eBook titles available for sale to the publicshould also be available to libraries for lending.Libraries may choose not to purchase some titles ifrestrictions or prices are deemed unacceptable,but withholding titles under any terms removes thelibrary’s ability to provide the services its patronsneed and expect.”
ALA’s Essential Features of an eBook vendor“EBook Business Models for Public Libraries,”Digital Content & Libraries Working Group (DCWG), August, 2012
• Collection Congestion – Buy all or nothing• Selective Inclusion – All does not mean all
![Page 26: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
SECOND – Enduring rights
“Libraries should have an option to effectively own theeBooks they purchase, including the right to transferthem to another delivery platform and to continue tolend them indefinitely. Libraries may choose morelimited options for some titles or copies, or in return forlower pricing, but they should have some option thatallows for permanent, enduring access.”
ALA’s Essential Features of an eBook vendor“EBook Business Models for Public Libraries,”Digital Content & Libraries Working Group (DCWG), August, 2012
• Subscription Based Models• Concurrent Access options
![Page 27: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
THIRD – Integration
“Libraries try to provide coherent access across allof the services they offer. To do this effectively, theyneed access to metadata and management toolsprovided by publishers or distributors to enhancethe discovery of eBooks.Separate, stand-alone offerings of eBooks arelikely to be marginalized, or to diminishawareness of other library offerings. Mechanismsthat allow eBooks to be discovered within thelibrary’s catalog and checked out or reservedwithout undue complexity are basic needs.”
ALA’s Essential Features of an eBook vendor“EBook Business Models for Public Libraries,”Digital Content & Libraries Working Group (DCWG), August, 2012
![Page 28: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Vendor 1 – Collection based model
Year one (relative pricing)• Backlist for previous 3 years = 1X• Current year’s Frontlist = 8XYear two• Frontlist = 8XYear three• Frontlist = 9X
Acquisition Histories
• Usage did not justify high cost• Could not purchase individual titles• Title availability was sporadic
![Page 29: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Vendor 2 – Subscription based model
First initial years• Librarian selected title list based on $ available• Usage, Title list, MARC records all easily
determined, modified and obtained• About 550 titles, Cost = ~ $46/titleLately• Consortial agreement• 5897 titles, Cost = ~ $6/title• Cost to extend deselected title = ~ $750/title
Acquisition Histories
• Some titles are not available elsewhere
![Page 30: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Vendor 3 – Back end, Demand driven model
Commit to $ amount purchased at year end• Entire Title list exposed in OPAC• Purchase at year end determined by
UsageCost (meeting or exceeding commitment)Access type (single, multi, unlimited)
Issues• Vendor -> OCLC -> University records• Is title list the real title list?
Acquisition Histories
![Page 31: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Subscription based model
Vendor• Full text titles from entire or discipline-based collection
(for creative pricing, needs opportunities)• Deselect from list in predictable fashion based on
publication date• Provide MARC, RDA records• Provide institutional specific usage• Allow institution to purchase individual titles,
prior to deselection, for nominal cost.• Individually purchased titles can be purchased with
varying access.• Purchased titles can be provided through 3rd-party.
Proposal to Vendors for 3 Academic eBook models
1) Inclusion of all titles, 2) Enduring rights, 3) Integration
![Page 32: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Back End, Demand Driven based model
Vendor• $ commitment up front for purchase of titles at year end• Full text and access to all titles• Provide MARC, RDA records• Provide institutional specific usage• Library makes decision on titles to acquire to meet $
commitment• Individually purchased titles can be purchased with
varying access.• Purchased titles can be provided through 3rd-party.

Front End, Demand Driven based model
Vendor• Full text and access to all titles• Provide MARC, RDA records• Provide institutional specific usage• Expose usage algorithm to allow agreement on trigger• Provide rental option• Individually purchased titles can be purchased with
varying access.• Purchased titles can be provided through 3rd-party.

Observations37
Every title can be categorized multiple ways – used differently (ie, can function as a textbook or reference work)
Libraries respond to products differently than individual consumer
Engineering content is multidisciplinary (ie, policy, environmental, hard science, clinical, computational, etc)
Work is often updated & reissued with new edition
![Page 38: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Society Publishing Challenges
Size / scope of publishing program Number of products released annually Emphasis on journals, proceedings, & then books, standards
Competition for authorsLicensing – concerns about differences between industry and
academe; global scopeAuthenticationPerpetual accessPackages, individual records, on demandPricing – depends on size of consortia & adoption rate Open AccessNational publishing mandates (NSF, data inclusions)DRM

Common Goals of Libraries
Follow “Best Practices” in Scholarly Communication including Licensing: Perpetual access
Ownership vs subscription models Concurrent users Users don’t register – honor privacy/anonymity yet still get customization if requested Resource sharing – ILL Reporting of usage data by individual member; via entire consortia Front List vs archive Scholarly Uses: Library Reserves, classroom use, course management systems De-selection rights Author retains rights to scholarship – can repost Treating data Sustainable pricing Homogeneity of consortia FTE for campus is different than coverage for actual interested readers/users Multi-year acquisition Integration with Approval Plans when treated by book vendors

Brief Survey Conducted, Spring 2013
Focused on 12 primary societies. 11 responses. Questions asked:1. How do societies respond to serving consortia when libraries
expect savings & deep discounts for participating in such memberships
Single invoice/payment Local processing control point Competitive renewal terms
2. In the eBook market, do you currently participate in DDA or expect to in near future – seek comments about this book buying method3. How are societies responding to OA4. What are the licensing issues that most concern societies?5. What is biggest challenge in library markets?

Responses to Survey46
Question 1 : How do societies respond to serving consortia when libraries expect savings & deep discounts for participating in such memberships 8/11 very interested in working with consortia; confusion about
multiple memberships encourage shopping best deal; One society had concerns that ELD would become an independent
itself Problems may exist with pricing expectations – the margins are
slim, savings may not be as great as expected; institutional composition varies making pricing a challenge (11/11)
Customer service needs to be aligned to support consortia on both sides (2/11)
Threatens potential revenue that can be redirected to improving product and digital library website (7/11)

3. How are societies responding to OA Societies with Journal lists are increasingly discussing
this – also regarding conference papers/proceedings 4/11 respondents are well aware of campus initiatives
to subsidize Open Access funding requirements 6/11 reminded me of value-added components
publishers contribute to work 4/11 mentioned concern about users depending on
Google or Google Scholar as first search choice

Question #4 Summary49
4. What are the licensing issues that most concern societies? No real consensus but following issues raised:IndemnificationAccess to industry via academic channels -
concerns about authentication and public institutions being open door to walk-in users
Mobile optimization – another expenseEmbargos for database access

Question #5 Summary50
5. What is the biggest challenge in serving library markets? Relationship of membership and library subscription usage – declining
membership in zip code ranges demonstrate greater use at nearby institutions
Little new money to invest in new products Stakeholders (Boards/officers) appear convinced that libraries have more
money than they claim Editors not always aware of library concerns – part of ongoing education
process Impact factor should influence adoption but does not seem to always
follow Concern how usage dictates adoption Conflicted about just in time vs just in case – anticipating needs of
students Seeing increases in individual document supply, even from subscribing
institutions – worried about how libraries promote products

Conclusions51
Hard to summarize – wide range of practices/opinions/highly diverse
Societies want to please members/customers, but concerned about costs associated with “stepping up” to meet new expectations of users
Have to consider US vs global competition, customer baseCost is a serious issue – production of multi-formats &
challenge of making any profit with library sales decliningKeeping up with technology is big challengeUncertain of where library priorities areWe need to conduct more systematic surveys and continue
dialogue between libraries, publishers, vendors, societies and authors/editors

Consortia and eBooks and in the international context: opportunities and
challenges
• Setting goals– Sharing resources– Collective negotiation and purchase– Nation-wide repository
• Getting buy-in• Creating infrastructure• Developing collections
![Page 55: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
eBooks in the UAE
• Upside– Most institutions are new– Quick way to expand collections– Most students computer literate
• Downside– Reading not part of culture– Will eBooks make it easier?
![Page 56: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Takeaways from other consortia:Top Ten Challenges and Benefits of eBooks within a Consortium
• ICOLC surveyed• 18 respondents• 88% subscribe to eBooks
![Page 57: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Challenges - Pricing
• Important but difficult• Avoid “buying club” model where all have to buy copy of
a triggered book• Prefer “shared access” model where all members have
access to specified number of copies
![Page 58: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Challenges - Savings
• Some say everyone benefited• Yes if keep publisher multipliers low (1.5-4.5)• Some say no savings• Hard to calculate for institution if consortium strikes the
deal. Compare– Price per book– What you would have collected
• No saving if duplicate in print anyway!
![Page 59: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Challenges - Selection• Some publishers won’t play ball• Some have too-high multipliers• Some withhold top titles• Librarian selection role changed
– Lack of individual title selection – collection vs title– Challenge to meld local selection with ebook
consortium purchases• Duplication in consortium vs approval plan• Non-English speakers not served well• Hard to please consortium with multiple types of libraries
![Page 60: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Challenges - Licensing
• Process difficult – esp if no legal staff– Time– Understanding terms
• Insist on ILL in license even if technology not there yet – be ready for future
• Go for perpetual licensing• Market geared more to consumer than libraries – need
models that work well
![Page 61: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
Challenges - Access
• Decisions re hosting vs using vendor’s host site• Some members have problems setting up access• Authentication can be problem if no union catalog exists• Problem in UAE where telecom monopoly controls access
to internet• Determining number of simultaneous users needed• Multiplicity of platforms confusing for patrons• What happens if vendor disappears
![Page 62: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Challenges – Discovery tools
• Not sufficient for ebooks, esp for accessing images, tables, graphs in STEM fields
• No discoverability if not cataloged• Difficult to catalog without accurate title lists• Discovery tool costs• Lack of union catalog• SFX integration an issue
![Page 63: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Challenges – PDA(patron driven acquisitions)
• Important to have but can cause duplication among libraries
• Some ebook vendors view PDA as revenue loss• Mostly happens at institution, not consortium• Control of cost an issue• Negative notions about patron behavior• Not a full solution
![Page 64: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Challenges - ILL
• DRM protection – insist on liberal DRM• Variety of circ policies among institutions• Purchase vs. rent among institutions• Licensing
![Page 65: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
Opportunities - Pricing
• Huge discounts on older materials• More flexibility on pricing than in print world• Save even with “buying club” model• Power in joining forces to negotiate• Good to find sustainable own vs rent model• Publishers are still finding their way – opportunity for
intervention
![Page 66: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Opportunities - Savings
• More participants leads to more savings• Big deals reduce cost per book
– Even if some books aren’t used– Not all print were used either!
![Page 67: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
Opportunities - Selection
• Work with vendors that have good selection• Overall getting better selection• OP material becoming available
![Page 68: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Opportunities - Licensing
• Hope for standardization!• Get ILL included• Allow more copies during first few months of release• Data mining opportunities
![Page 69: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Opportunities - Access
• Gives access to many• Mobi format possibilities• Platform standardization possibilities• Broadens access, especially for smaller schools
![Page 70: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
Opportunities – Discovery tools
• Can make platform issues seamless for patrons• Must be affordable
![Page 71: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
Opportunities - PDA
• Working well in some consortia• Enhances collection development• Direct response to patron need• Keeps patrons more involved• Offers concrete data for financial support
![Page 72: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)
PDA Experiment• BLC (Boston Library Consortium) 2013
– 7 participants thus far– Ebrary/YBP– Selected the publishers together– Set the purchase triggers together– 705 titles in pool
• 397 unique titles used• 143 purchased = 20%• $114,413 list vs $58,963 consortium = 50% savings
![Page 73: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/73.jpg)
Opportunities - ILL
• Ability to lend across platforms and outside consortium• Get permission into licenses• Leverage the power of many to achieve
![Page 74: Session W235 Hot Topics Round Table: No Shelf Required](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062310/56816859550346895dde87b1/html5/thumbnails/74.jpg)
Other Issues
• International licenses for content still not consistent with US & Canada
• Book vendors (YBP, Coutts, etc.) cannot provide all collections through their order platform
• Content sensitivity matters
