  1. E-Books at OhioLINK: Expanding the Statewide Collection Dan Gottlieb, University of Cincinnati Karen Wilhoit, Wright State University

  2. OhioLINK Is: • 90 Member Libraries • 16 public universities • 50 private colleges • 23 community and technical colleges • State Library of Ohio • Over 600,000 Students, Faculty, and Staff

  3. OhioLINK Collections Include: • 50 million books and other library materials • 100+ research databases • 17,000+ electronic journals • 81,000 e-books • Thousands of digital images, videos, and sounds • 40,000 online theses and dissertations from Ohio students

  4. Why (Shared) E-Books? • Culture of Sharing Resources • Member libraries’ collections are a shared state resource • In 2012, “P-CIRC” delivered over 600,000 items at a cost of just under $1 million • Shared E-Books: • Consistent with OhioLINK history of sharing resources • Have potential to reduce P-CIRC costs over time

  5. How Does OhioLINK Acquire E-Books? • Rental: • Safari • Purchase: • Oxford Scholarship Online • Springer • Wiley • YBP Pilot • DDA: • NetLibrary • YBP Pilot

  6. NetLibrary • Early experiment with DDA at consortial level • Approximately 2000-2004 • Records made available via central catalog and local catalogs as desired • Resulted in purchase of about 15,000 titles • Project terminated • Expense – virtually all titles in pool were purchased • Concerns about print duplication and lack of predictability

  7. After NetLibrary • Purchase of publisher packages • Oxford Scholarship Online • Springer • Local purchasing of e-books growing • Concern about inability to share resources • Desire for new approach led to ITN in April 2011 • “Explore mechanisms to purchase ebook content that would be made available to all consortia members.” • Combine community funds to create a funding pool

  8. YBP/Ebrary Pilot: • Three Publishers • Ashgate/Gower (ebrary platform) • Rowman & Littlefield/Altamira/Scarecrow (ebrary platform) • Cambridge (publisher platform) • Three Collecting Methods • Subject-Based Purchase • Profile-Based Purchase • DDA

  9. Pilot Implemented in Three Phases: Phase 1: • Subject and profile-based collections from Ashgate and Rowman& Littlefield • Titles profiled on or after April 10, 2013 added as published Phase 2: • DDA pools from Ashgate and Rowman& Littlefield • First titles received Phase 3: • Cambridge University Press - date TBD

  10. Composition of DDA Pool: • Ashgate and Rowman & Littlefield: • All current imprints not purchased as part of the subject-based or profile-based collections • Retrospective pool (2011 and/or 2012 imprints) under consideration • Cambridge: • Current imprints not purchased as part of subject-based or profile-based collections • Possible additional restrictions on subject areas • Retrospective pool possible, but unlikely

  11. DDA Pool: Purchase Triggers For Rowman& Littlefield and Ashgate, standard Ebrary triggers will apply: • 10 minutes spent reading • 10 page views (excluding index and TOC) • Any download, copy, or print For Cambridge, triggers are to be determined

  12. Implementation Issues: • Existing approval and DDA profiles modified: • Participating publishers set to slip or blocked • Invoices paid out of pooled institutional funds • Bibliographic records: • Loaded and contributed to central OhioLINK catalog • May be loaded to local catalogs if desired • Use statistics • Accrue to consortial level • For institutional usage, records must be loaded to local ILS

  13. Results So Far: • About 80 titles purchased from Ashgate and Rowman and Littlefield • Titles purchased outright are seeing use • First DDA titles delivered and loaded • Too early for purchase history

  14. Why This Structure? • Desire to experiment with new methods of purchasing e-books for the consortia • Experience (and some dissatisfaction) with “big deal” type purchases • Strong interest in more title-level selection • Mixed feelings about appropriateness of DDA for consortial collecting • Concerns about buying too much (NetLibrary experience) • Analysis will help OhioLINK determine what method best meets its needs

  15. Next Steps: • Evaluation of pilot project • Usage • Expense • Comparison with other OhioLINKe-book packages • Possible continuation, modification or expansion of pilot • DDA only? No DDA? Profiling method? • New publishers • Additional subject areas
