  1. Breaking the Big Deal ASERL October 25, 2016 Jonathan Nabe Southern Illinois University Carbondale

  2. About SIUC • Doctoral Higher Research Activity • ARL member, 3 million volumes and a budget of $5 million

  3. Effects of Leaving • Lost access • ILLs increase, minimally • Significant budget savings • Increased flexibility in collection development

  4. Effects - Budget • 2004, 24% of our budget for 3 big deals • 2008, 33% for same deals • We save about $400,000 per year by leaving • More than our book budget

  5. A lost big deal • Wiley: 2001-2010 • 597 non-subscribed titles • 11,254 downloads from these titles in year prior to departure

  6. Effects - ILLs • Over five year period: • ILLs average 2% of the download figures, annually • 47% of lost titles have had no ILL requests • Average number of ILL requests per title is less than 2

  7. Effects - Collection Development • We can and do cancel by need, not by contract • Protection of non-Big Deal publishers • Protection of the book funds

  8. Effects – of Not leaving • Cancellations disproportionately made to the publications of smaller publishers, for institutions with Big Deals • Smaller publishers sell out to the bigger commercial publishers, for protection of subscriptions and income

  9. Conclusion • Lost access – to peripheral titles • Minimal impact on workload and ILL fees • High and increasing savings • Flexibility • Help shape a more sustainable and balanced scholarly publishing environment
