(Cross-posted ALA announcement)
In a world where funding is decreasing and demand is increasing,
libraries and librarians are looking for ways to provide access to
content without submitting their bottom line to costly and sometimes
little-used online journal subscriptions.
The ALCTS CCS Electronic Resources Interest Group invites you to attend
its panel discussion "Pay-Per-View Options: Is Transactional Access
Right For My Institution?" on Saturday, July 11, 2009, from 10:30
a.m.-12:00 p.m, Chicago Hilton, Continental Ballroom B.
The discussion will center on the experiences of libraries and
publishers as they implement and manage transactional access models at
their institutions. The panelists will discuss why transactional access
was right for their institution, the driving forces behind their
decisions, the implementation process, technical implementation and
management of the access, and the outcomes of their endeavors. Following
the presentations will be a "question and answer" period, as well as an
open forum for audience members to share their experience(s) with fellow
session participants.
The panel includes:
Pay Per View – Where We Were, Where We Are and Where Are We Going Next?
Beth R. Bernhardt
Jackson Library
University of North Carolina at Greensboro
Between 2002 and 2003, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro
(UNCG) set up several different types of pay-per-view options that
provided users with over 3,500 unsubscribed titles. A few years later
the library set up access to many of these titles through Consortium Big
Deals. This presentation will talk about what options the library
experimented with, what is still there, compare its pay-per-view
statistics with its big deals and discuss how libraries might use
pay-per-view options in the coming years.
Developing a Pay-Per-View Model in a Financially Challenging Budget Year
Nicole Mitchell and Elizabeth Lorbeer
Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences
University of Alabama at Birmingham
Anticipated reductions at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, for
fiscal year 2009/2010 will result in a content budget of roughly half
what it was four years ago. The library went from having packages with
almost every commercial and society publisher to just a few packages in
2009. Over 4,500 titles were cancelled for 2009, with only 52 journals
being reinstated by user request. In exploring a solution for next
fiscal year, the library began to investigate investing twenty percent
of its journal budget to subsidized pay-per-view by setting up deposit
accounts with the publishers, with a goal to significantly lower user
fees for article access.
Fast Food Nation/Google Generation/Financial Down Turn…Meet the Library
Ryan Weir and Ashley Ireland
Murray State University
Murray, Kentucky
Murray State University has recently undertaken a project that will be
the inaugural step in its transition to both providing optimized digital
access and change of the landscape of its journal acquisitions from a
model that has been traditionally print to one that is primarily
electronic. Alongside this transition, the library also added a
just-in-time element to its previous just-in-case-only model. During
this presentation, participants will have a window into Murray State's
experience, including: the driving forces behind its decisions, its
selection of Science Direct as a vendor, the implementation process, the
outcomes, and where the library sees itself headed in the future.
Transactional Access: A Publisher's Take
Mark Rothenbuhler
John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
The final presentation will offer the perspective of a major publisher
about its experience offering streamlined article access via prepaid
tokens. Mark Rothenbuhler from Wiley will discuss the realities and
potential benefits of transactional access to journal articles to
libraries and publishers, and offer suggestions as to what libraries
should be thinking about.
