September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge Things to consider for libraries and consortia Arnold Hirshon yesterday: How can we do something else with electronic resources How can you increase the value of your consortia How can we promote the usage of licensed resources

September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge Additional issues especially relevant to eIFL consortia How can we easily provide an overview of available (electronic) resources When connectivity is an important issue It must be easy for users to quickly find what they are searching for Available information resources must be visible We must provide tools that reduces dependence on connectivity (bandwidth etc.)

September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge Other issues also relevant to eIFL consortia Imagine: That users only have to learn to know one service to be able to access electronic resources That – when you have shortage of library staff – you only have to train users in one service

September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge More than licensing content and providing access Organizing resources Federated search Integrate Open Access resources Easy to use = time saving reduce costs reduce network traffic

September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge More than just journals!! It is not only about journals Freely accessible documents from Open Archives (e-print, pre-print, post-print – institutional repositories) Databases Web-resources – subject gateways

September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge Integration of OA-material in Library & Information Services The problem: conventional toll-access material flows seamlessly into library services supported by publishers, subscriptionsagents, aggregators etc. how to expose Open Access material to users??

September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge The bundling strategy from the publishers point of view  In terms of access and usage bundling means:  One database  One single point of access – limited to the content of one publisher (i.e. Kluwer, Springer, Wiley, Elsevier etc.)  Visibility for low usage (low quality?) journals

September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge An integration strategy from the library point of view Integration means:  One database  One single point of access – independent of publishers  Visibility for smaller, not-for-profit publishers And  Visibility for Institutional Repositories and Open Access journals and other freely available quality resources

September 2004eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge A solution: The Electronic Library Information Navigator - - The one-stop-shop integrating Subscription based (toll-access) journals, open access journals institutional repositories databases scholarly web resources (subject gateways)
