Trends to Consider
E-Books
Slow Adoption of E-BooksScholarly content not yet there
30% available simultaneously* as e/pPublisher fears
Diminished salesCourse adoption
Librarian concernsDRMPatrons want print (or so we say)
*Defined by YBP Library Services as 2 months
E-Book DevelopmentsRapid expansion (even in
scholarly publishing)
Embrace of e-book readersKindle! (and others)

Demand-Driven Acquisitions Goals
Broaden the collectionMore titlesMore publishersMore subjects
Match acquisitions to immediate demandPay at point of needPay for amount of needShort-term loansPurchase-on-demand
Redefining the CollectionEverything we can provide in a
timely manner
Ultimately, bounded only by budget
University of Denver eBook Library (EBL)
Began May 2010
Loaded 42,000 records into catalog (now 65,000)
No budget for FY 2010
Budgeted $150,000 for FY 2011
The EBL ModelFirst five minutes free
STL for three usesOne day or one week10-15% list price
Purchase on fourth useList price

DDA ImplicationsIs there a role for consortia?
Tension between shared discount/local needs
Immediate access vs. stewardship of the cultural recordAccess
Better served by DDAStewardship of potential acquisitions
Portico, LOCKSS, Publishers
DDA for the Long HaulThe Consideration Pool
Everything available for potential acquisition
Linked to budget sizeManaged by broad rules (like
approval plan)Titles move in/out of pool
Records move in/out of discovery tools
E-Book PredictionMost monographs
English-language approval plan Non-English approval (a bit further out)
Acquire on demandAs e-book
STL or purchaseBy the chapter or volume
As local print-on-demandMake accessible all that we can afford
A Book Discovery ProblemBooks
Lots of wordsNot much
metadataLost opportunity
Full-text searching
Chapter-level metadata

Abstract
Christopher C. Brown, “NextGen Information Environment: A Paradigm Shift in Information Discovery,” Colorado Association of Libraries CALCON11, Loveland, Colorado, October 15, 2011.
E-Book DiscoveryMust take advantage of full-text
Can drive users to printUsers must have clear choice of
format
Will drive acquisition
Must work with e-readers
DDA, E-Books, Scholarly Publishing
Implications for PublishersCampus-wide access to e-books
might cannibalize sales
DDA removes predictabilitySales forecastsCost of keeping e-books available
Frontlist/backlist blur
STL/ILL = new revenue stream
Journals Are Easy, Right?
We’ve Figured Out Journals
Digital
Packages
Easily shared
Or Have We?Is the Big Deal sustainable?
Based on a model ofConsolidating subscriptionsMaximizing market share
At the expense of other publishers, monographs
While our budgets shrink
A New ModelCambridge UP
$5.99Read only24 hours
Almost seamless
Other OptionsArticle
Purchasing
Purchase PDF$25.00+Multiple publishersCopyright
Clearance CenterOften seamless
Too expensive?
Medium Deal? Small Deal?
Limited title list
Rental/purchase of many (most) (all) articles
Article DiscoveryWe do this well
Not dependent on ownership(Often) full-textMust integrate with discovery of
owned content
Local journal holdings should be replaced by all articles accessible by any seamless access method
Disaggregation
Journal/BookArticle/Chapter
Pay for amount used
Requires discovery at the article/chapter level
What about entries in reference works?
Major implications for publishers
E-Resources and ILL
Does ILL Make Sense for E-Resources?
ILL a means to an end = access to material not in collection
For e-resources, a short-term loan is a faster means to the same end Potentially cheaper
STL and DiscoveryClearinghouse(s) for STL of e-
books/chapters/articles
Integration into local discovery tools?
Shrinking Print Collections
