Monograph Acquisitions after the WAGUL Agreement Ali Nearn - Manager, Access Services Hello, Notre Dame, as many of you will have worked out by now, didn’t participate in the WAGUL agreement, however we did go through a similar review process, So today I’m going to briefly outline the context for this process; what we did and where we are now.

Where we were… Outside of the WAGUL agreement… Multi campus, 7 Libraries Multiple suppliers DA Information Services Where we were… Click > Multi campus As some of you would know Notre Dame is highly dispersed multi campus university Campuses in Broome, Fremantle & Sydney & additional locations in rural NSW and Victoria Seven Libraries- 1 in Broome, 3 Fremantle, 2 Sydney, 1 Werribee medical schools Akin to a network of special libraries - small teams in each library, with centralised management of shared services Click > multiple vendors We were also operating with a distributed acquisitions model, with multiple suppliers & varying degrees of consistency across processes and trading terms Click > DA Information Services Enter DA… In mid 2013, DA Information Services announced they were entering into voluntary administration DA’s announcement while unfortunate for them, presented both a need & an opportunity for us to re-evaluate our current supply chain and current acquisitions practices.

What we did… Expressions of interest Coutts vs YBP Preference for ‘e’ over ‘p’ YBP supplier of choice What we did… Click > Expressions of Interest A working party was formed and calls for expressions of interest were sent to the 2 major contenders, Coutts and YBP. And the usual comparisons were made against criteria including the extent of Australian content; interface functionality; selection & acquisitions workflows etc Both suppliers had the capacity to deliver across this set of criteria  Click > Preference for ‘e’ over ‘p’ At the time however, the differences lay in each supplier’s capacity to deliver in the ebook space & with a preference for electronic over print, this was important to us We were particularly interested in cross publisher and aggregator ebook offerings and also the capacity to manage multi vendor demand driven acquisitions models and the supplier’s interest in working with next gen cloud based library systems Click > YBP supplier of choice In this context there was one clear choice… YBP Click > next slide https://uwaterloo.ca/staff-association/news/area-reps-holding-first-meeting-new-year

Where we are now… Centralised processes Combination of books suppliers Demand Driven Acquisition Other evidence based models Where we are now… Acquisitions have now been centralised on the Fremantle & Sydney campuses & we have established an agreed supply chain through a combination of book suppliers Click > Combination of book suppliers YBP is our supplier of single ebooks and print titles from overseas publishers & these represent the majority of our acquisitions, we don’t currently manage any DDA profiles through YBP but haven’t discounted doing so in the future CoInfo is our preferred supplier of print books from Australian publishers= 2 reasons, 1st to continue to trade with an Australian supplier and 2nd we strongly objected to the shipping of materials housed in Australia to the US & back again when James Bennett merged with YBP. Co-Op remains our Textbook supplier And we now use a small number of specialist suppliers for some print resources & also go directly to the publishers for specialist ebook titles where these aren’t supplied through YBP eg. Law Click > Demand Driven Acquisition We implemented Demand Driven Acquisitions with EBL & JSTOR in 2014 and 2015 respectively and have entered into these models again this year Click > other Evidence based ebbok models We’re also currently trialling the CCH evidence based ebook model and there is some interest in other demand driven and evidence based models including Ebsco, Cambridge & ProQuest’s Access to Own model, so watch this space.
