Benefits of JSTOR as an Ebook Provider Books at JSTOR is an initiative to publish scholarly books online as part of JSTOR, one of the most well known and widely used scholarly resources. Books are integrated into the JSTOR platform, one of the most heavily used and valued online resources among faculty, graduate students, and undergraduates. There are currently over 49,000 DRM free eBooks available from over 90 publishers; however, the UC pilot will include only the frontlists for 2017 and 2018.

More Benefits of the JSTOR Platform Preservation is assured. Books are preserved in Portico (portico.org), ITHAKA’s digital preservation service. Improved discoverability. Rich book metadata and JSTOR’s network of external linking partnerships makes books easy to find. Seamless integration with journals. JSTOR currently has more than 2 million book reviews and 600,000 citations on the platform. Books, journal articles, and reviews are cross-searchable and linked in ways that make online research faster, easier, and more effective.

benefits to owning titles under JSTOR's pricing model Full-text online reading, chapter by chapter Downloads never expire due to digital rights management (no DRM) Download individual book chapters as standard PDFs that are mobile compatible No download limits Copy and paste text from book pages Usage of the table of contents, front matter and back matter does not count towards the chapter views or downloads Behaves just like journal content on JSTOR

Quick overview of the JSTOR Pilot The pilot will begin in January 2017. For users, the DDA pilot will be invisible and 'behind the scenes': titles in the DDA profile pool will look like holdings in local catalogs and user activity (free browsing, viewing pages, printing chapters, etc.) will happen in real time without intervention from library staff. MARC records will be distributed by SCP. The pilot is funded by 9 campuses (exc. UCSF) for two years (January 2017-December 2018).

Profile for Discovery corpus 2017 frontlist only (plus 2018 next year) English only All disciplines 3,000 titles per year (6,000 total) Excludes titles with list price over $300 Approx. 90 publishers, mostly university presses JSTOR’s online list of publishers: http://about.jstor.org/content/participating-publishers-1

How it works: Free browsing and ebook Purchases Free browsing will allow students and faculty to use the ebooks prior to a consortial purchase of the title. At the 46th chapter view or 28th chapter download in a single title across the system, a purchase will be triggered with perpetual rights for all nine participating campuses. 9 copies will be purchased at a 65% consortial discount Purchases allow unlimited simultaneous use for all participating campuses so books can be assigned as coursework and in library classes

Best practices for handling local duplication We are going to be posting a link on the pilot webpage that outlines how each of the campuses is managing local duplication. We hope it will help campus staff and selectors manage their ebook acquisitions and participation in the JSTOR pilot. We also hope that it will help other libraries looking at the JSTOR DDA model.

Assessment Three assessment reports Data to analyze August 2017 (6 months data), February 2018 (12 months data), September 2018 (final report) Data to analyze Usage trends (top publishers, top subject areas, etc.) Campus spend rate Local duplication with JSTOR corpus  Changes in publisher activity during the pilot (leaving the pilot, changing % output) Non-English language turnaway data Post-acquisition usage of ebooks

Postscript: Did you know there is a new ‘ebook usability’ common knowledge group? https://wiki.library.ucsf.edu/display/UCLCKG/Ebook+Usability+CKG   The Ebook Usability CKG aims to gather and share information regarding ebook usability, with topics including and not limited to: Ebook DRM and other licensing terms Ebook platform features Ebook content format Ebook reading devices Annotation and other social sharing tools Ebook accessibility User ebook reading behavior We are currently planning to implement two studies: Current ebook platform usability comparison User study on their format preference, through survey and/or focus group Join if you are interested!
