11 KERIS e-book consortia - Background New trend – Year 2000 introduction of e-books in Korea public libraries  university libraries  school libraries – Online resources for academic purpose, Resource sharing availability, Lack of standardization of technology (H/W & S/W) – OCLC netLibrary e-book : patron-initiated acquisition models (Shirley Hyatt and Lynn Silisigni Connaway, 2002)

12 Year 2002 : Introduction of OCLC netLibrary e-book, 1 st. formation of e-book consortium in Korea, 73 universities Year 2003 : Introduction of Safari Tech Books Online Introduction of reference e-books (Gale & Marcel Dekker) Year 2004 : non-profit / governmental institute participation Year 2006 : mandatory multiple copies needed for the consortium (netLibrary), model changes in subscription method consortium (Safari) As of 2007 : purchasing method (6 different e-book collections, netLibrary), introduction of audio books KERIS e-book consortia - History

13 KERIS e-book consortia – Pros and cons In the library point of view –Access –Access : e-books availability for all participating libraries, accumulation of sharing e-book collections –Costs –Costs : cost reduction in shelving, staffing, maintenance, and circulation –Licensing and copyright –Licensing and copyright : predominance of one-time payment and purchasing models over restrictive pricing and access models –Acquisitions and resource management –Acquisitions and resource management : guarantee archiving and preservation (with a perpetual access) –Service –Service : ownership and remote access

14 KERIS e-book consortia – Pros and cons In the consortium point of view –Dependent on publishers’ policy –Price increase and complex subscription option In the users point of view –Access e-book 24 X 7 where internet available –No priority for lending to access the shared collection

15 KERIS e-book consortia modeling process Basic concepts of e-book consortia ConceptsExamples purchasing model  sharing of the consortia collection in a perpetual access  keep the quality of collection  minimize the duplication (title-based selection) netLibrary subscription model  keep the currency and popularity (swapping feature)  limit the quantity Safari

16 KERIS e-book consortia modeling process Major process of e-book consortia model (netLibrary) Target quantity of the consortium No. of universities & FTE simulation Average e-book title selection estimation To set up a consortium model average target was 5,000 titles Simulating the consortium based on the number of the universities and their size of variance, average cost of titles Group breakdowns of universities by their size of FTEs (average payment of 50 titles  access 5,000 titles every consortia)

17 KERIS e-book consortia modeling process Title selection strategy of e-book consortia (netLibrary) –Purpose –Purpose : librarians and end-users to access and select the titles and manages by subject category within the budget of each university –Basic strategy for e-book selection –Basic strategy for e-book selection :  Titles valuable for research (except for the computer manuals, practical reference works)  Newly published titles (except for the traditional classics, old and rare books)  Titles independent of hardware and software

18 KERIS e-book consortia modeling process From one-copy share model to multiple-copies share model –Based on the number of participating institutions  minimum requirement of each title and minimum volume of the consortium –Title selection process changes Used to Be As Is ① All participating members title selection for newly published titles (2yr term) ② Mediation of the selected title collection ③ Final confirmation ① [1 st. Selection] University members committee for newly published titles ② [2 nd. Selection] participating members for 1 st. Selected title collection ③ Mediation of selected titles ④ Final Confirmation

19 KERIS e-book consortia collection Year 2002 ~ 2007 e-book Consortia Collection  18,425(unique title) / 43,364(copies)  107 unique institutions participated Year 2002 ~ 2004 vs Year 2006 ~ 2007 Collection  one-copy share model - duplicate rate 31%, total 6,000 copies a year  multiple-copies share model - duplicate rate 100% total 8,150 copies a year  35% of e-book copies and volume increase, limitation for participating members

20 KERIS e-book consortia usage Major subject of Year 2005 vs Year 2006 collection  Year 2005 : Applied Science  Social Science  Business, Economics / Humanities  Year 2006 : Social Science  Business, Economics  Applied Science Subject preferencesAccess Usage per copyActual usage over one time access One-copy share model - Applied Science - Natural Science - Medicine - Business, Economics - Computer Science - Medicine 90% of titles Multiple-copies share model - Medicine - Business, Economics - Technology 73% of titles
