  1. What’s the Big Deal? Collection Evaluation at the National Level Clare Appavoo, Executive Director, Canadian Research Knowledge Network (CRKN) NAME OF EVENT

  2. Introduction to CRKN ALA 2013

  3. Collection evaluation at the national level: questions to be answered ALA 2013

  4. Big Deal Exit Checklist Leaving a Big Deal – Assess potential institutional impacts Leaving a Big Deal – Exit implementation guidelines ALA 2013

  5. Big Deal Cost-Per-Use ALA 2013

  6. Limits of usage and exploring the California Digital Library Journal Value Metrics The CDL Model “How much value does our institution derive from Journal X compared to other journals that we license in the same discipline?” • Value is defined as quality, utility and cost effectiveness • Evaluating 8,600 journals in 36 licensed packages • A numerical score is assigned to each journal depending on whether it is above or below the benchmark in a subject area ALA 2013

  7. Journal Value Metrics - Method ALA 2013

  8. CRKN Pilot – Adapted Journal Value Metrics ALA 2013

  9. Does the value of journals remain constant regardless of varied institutional characteristics? Top 100 Journals Comparing Quartiles ALA 2013

  10. Combined individual list price of the top quartile of journals compared to total package price ALA 2013

  11. Do the top 100 journals as determined by JVM differ from the top 100 journals as determined by use?

  12. Do the top 100 journals as determined by JVM differ from the top 100 journals as determined by use? JVM – top 100 journals Usage – top 100 journals ALA 2013

  13. Benefits of evaluating collections collaboratively ALA 2013

  14. Journal Value Metrics – Next Steps and Applications Findings: Without movement from the vendors on individual list prices, a centrally negotiated Big Deal continues to represent the best value for a comprehensive suite of content. When evaluating participation in a Big Deal, or when financial pressures necessitate cancellation, usage is not a sufficiently multifaceted unit of measure to determine key journals for research and teaching. Next Steps: ALA 2013
