BDC licenses (total) All CBUC members Some CBUC members Free resources


New BDC licenses, started in 2008

For all CBUC members

– American Society for Microbiology

– Nature – Oxford University Press– Royal Society of

Chemistry– Taylor & Francis

> 1.350 new e-journals

For some CBUC members

– Cell Press (4 libraries)– Project MUSE (6)– Science (7)– SIAM (6)– Nature Pub. Group (9)

> 400 new e-journals


Big questions for 2009

• Is there (still) room for new (reasonable) consortial deals?– e-journals: maybe CUP and a few more ...

• And money (both at a university level and at a consortium level)?– Universities are supporting 80% of the costs, and some

libraries invest almost all of their budget in consortial deals– CBUC is funding nearly 10% of the total cost of BDC e-

journals (7M€ approx.)– No new incomes on the horizon


New deals for 2009?

• Some central money available

• But must be invested in one-time-payments (not new annual subscriptions)

• Working on proposals:– e-books?– backfiles?

3. Digital Library Things we learned from our digital library

usage data: 1998-2007

Summary Summary


BDC’s 10th anniversary!

• First negotiations started in 1998: Academic Press, Mathscinet, Econlit, Medline, ERIC, Aranzadi

• Now it’s a good time for evaluation (and for promoting access when needed)

• Some partial reports in the last years• Now we have 2 recent ones, and more complete:

– A thesis– A report (under construction)


Doctoral thesis about BDC

“La cooperació bibliotecària en l’era digital: consorcis i adquisicions de revistes a les biblioteques universitàries catalanes” by Dr. Miquel Térmens i Graells

(Universitat de Barcelona. Departament de Biblioteconomia i Documentació, 05.07.07)

Available at http://www.tdx.cat/TDX-1017107-113943


Main conclusion

• Usage level differences among universities is not related/balanced with their size, but with the following issues:

– Historical level of the collections available in their libraries

– Research level at each university


Report (under construction)

• Description of usage trends at BDC 1999-2007• Study objects: e-journals + databases + e-books• Data sources: usage statistics from publishers

• Commissioned to a faculty member from Universitat de Barcelona School of Librarianship (Àngel Borrego)

• Useful to evaluate and to decide renewals

• Analysis under construction, but first conclusions available now (full analysis in the next months)


Some conclusions (by now)

• Full text is prefered– E-journals usage increases– Databases usage not that much (or even

descend)

• “New” deals have impact on the usage of the “old” ones

• (Again) Usage levels are not related to size
