3/23 Spanish Library Consortia  Meetings in February (and June) 2009: It would be difficult to do joint purchases among Spanish consortia, but... We can share information:  list of common licenses  agreement on “negotiation basics”  common concerns (involve Spanish Ministry?): VAT for e-resources Open access mandates National licenses for e-journal backfiles  ICOLC statement on economic crisis translated into Spanish and Catalan

4/23 Bad news …  Spanish government –FECyT- would stop paying the total amount for the only national license we have in place (since 2004): ISI Web of Knowledge. Their reasons: Low dissemination/usage rates (?!) Some institutions (like hospitals) might not have been included  They’d want institutions to pay 30% of the global invoice: later this year! no idea about the costs allocation formula no idea about which/how many participants

5/23 Ministry of Science and Innovation  Holds different scientifc research institutions  CSIC (the bigest) BUT: CIEMAT,INIA,IGE,IEO,ISCIII,I.Atrophysic s (1500 FTE)  Now: each institution manages its collection/licences but: E-content is very poor  Virtual access facilities do not exist

6/23 Ministry of Science and Innovation  2009 has declared the willignes to better cordinate some structural aspects among them  Publication, Technology, Scientific Information…etc  Improve acces to digital collections for those organisations that have a low level of e- implementation  For 2009: Had asked CSIC to manage tenders for all those scientific orgnisations Later on provide IT systems to provide access to the digital contents

7/23 Minsitry of Science and Innovation  Problems: Previous work-investigation to coordinate “what should” be licensed do not exist till now. Lack of time Lack of money due to the crisis Who will carry all the work?  Administrative  Technical set up
