  1. University Libraries Consortia developmentas a purchase method of eMaterials YoshiroKATO Chief Executive International Center Keio University

  2. Introduction • Currently, university libraries are purchasing eMaterials to answer the needs of their users. This task is difficult for a single library. However, by forming a consortium among libraries, it becomes possible to purchase information in stabilized and reasonable prices. • Today, I would like report about consortia based on the method of marketing analysis of commercial companies. At the same time, I would like to consider the development of the Consortia Life Cycle with good efficiency.

  16. Methodology of development stages 《The Embryonic Stage》 • Pre-establishment stage toward the later established consortium. Characters • Informal, Voluntary Networking Activities • Interlibrary Loans Requirement for Establishing Formal Mechanisms • Governmental Funding and Approval • Strong Internal Leadership in Consortia

  17. Methodology of development stages 《Early Development》 • Gradually, Achieving the Primary Goals of Its Charter • Demonstrating Benefits That Will Reach Fruition in the Development Stage • The Bibliographic Network and Interlibrary Loan Services are Taking Root. • Starting ‘Full Text Databases’ Subscriptions • Establishment of Unique Identity of Consortium • Cultivating Outside Relationships

  18. Methodology of development stages 《Development》 • Seeking funds from external sources • suggestion of internal membership commitment • Growth of subscriptions shared between consortia members • This stage lasts up to five years • Focusing on the consortium’s effectiveness and efficiency

  19. Methodology of development stages 《Maturation》 • Guarantee for the access to electronic resources through shared subscriptions, union catalogues and interlibrary loan • Support for Internet connections and Pprovision of hardware for that purpose • Extension of participation beyond academic libraries • Financial independence by being self supported organization with membership fee and service fee • Becoming an important negotiation agent for electronic licensing subscription • Improving services by collaborating with other consortia

  20. Methodology of development stages • Disbanding or Termination • Lack of Consortia viability 2. MetaConsortia • Consortium of consortia, founded on the basis of cooperation among several consortia

  21. Classification of the Consortia by Stage of Development

  22. Japanese University Libraries Consortia The Embryonic Stage (1998 – 2000) • Joint use of Intranet style electronic journal • IDEAL Consortia by Academic Press • IDEAL open consortia (JIOC/NU) by 6 Universities of Japan Association of National University Libraries (JANUL) ↓ Disbanding in 2002

  23. Japanese University Libraries Consortia Early Development (2000 – 2002) • Establishment of the task force for electronic journal by Japan Association of National University Libraries • University of Tokyo Library took the major role • April, 2002, signing up for the contract of a consortium with Elsevier and other 4 publishers.

  24. Japanese University Libraries Consortia Development (2002 – 2003) • Contract with 13 publisher for electronic journal • 3,800 titles of electronic journals became available • Due to introducing electronic journals, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) provide budget for National University Libraries. • Cooperative work with National Institute of Informatics to establish guarantee of on going access to online publications • Establishment of Private University Libraries Consortium (PULC)

  25. Japanese University Libraries Consortia Development (2002 – 2003) • Subsidy from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) to introduce electronic journals at Private Universities • Development into self supportive organization • Japan Coalition of Library Consortia (JCOLC) • Planning for the establishment of JCOLC

  26. Conclusion • Current consortia are only for purchasing Electronic Journals. The same strategy must be used for purchasing eBooks. • For further development of the method of Schacaf, we must correct newest data and continue quantitative researches • We are aiming to increase the purchase of electronic information resources by establishing an unique consortium which fit for the environment of Japanese Libraries
