E-Books in HE Libraries -: Time for a quantum leap forward? Jill Taylor-Roe Head of Liaison & Academic Services Newcastle University STM E-book 2.03 Seminar 23 April 2009

Recent surveys suggest there is significant demand for /interest in e-books in UK HE Spread of Responses:Exit Survey Spread of Responses:Entrance Survey

Its not just librarians who are interested… Originally the driving force was library staff as we experimented with new technology and looked for ways to support increasing numbers of part-time and distance learners. We were lucky that our students embraced them enthusiastically. Now, as with journals, more and more students are demanding text books electronically and cant understand why some are not available Subject areas with good e-journal access, especially STM are also beginning to enquire as they appreciate the convenience of 24/7 access

Its not just librarians who are interested… Pressure to buy e-books is coming from students, satisfaction survey indicate demand, along with consistent demand for print More recently demand is being generated form teaching staff as more use is being made of VLEs and the requirement to be able to directly link from the VLE or online course to the e-version of a text

Slide 5 Pushing at an open door… More than 60% of the academic population is already using e-books for work or leisure More people are using e-books: with a large increase among JISC teachers, perhaps as a result of intense promotional activity?

But how is this translated into actual spending? Source: Annual SCONUL statistics

Ebook expenditure is still only a fraction of print book spend Source: Annual SCONUL statistics

Why UK higher education has not bought more ebooks E-book pricing models are not satisfactory (64%) There is too little choice of e-book titles (62%) E-book access models are not satisfactory (53%) We are waiting for the market to settle down (33%) We are waiting for JISC Collections to offer better e-book deals (30%) E-books are too expensive (28%) I do not know what is available (18%) There is no demand for e-books here (13%) Affiliated/ external users are not allowed access (11%) The technology is too complicated (8%)

Business Models: findings of the Observatory project There is no one model that fits all universities – Librarian entrance survey showed that most universities do not have separate e-book budgets but it does vary. Also the spend on e-books varies dramatically from £200 to £100,000 – Librarian exit survey asked what the most appropriate business models is. There was a slight preference for in perpetuity over subscription with credit systems not always seen as favourable (although some love it!), so no real consensus BUT Everyone wants – Consistency – Unlimited simultaneous access – No embargoes on new editions – Flexibility to pick the titles you want – no bundles – MARC records – DRM that accounts for real user behaviour!

How are Librarians responding to the current budget shortfall, this year and next? (< from 23%) (> from 4%) (< from 23%) (> from 12%)

Usage Data… Although the majority of statistics are COUNTER compliant, some librarians perceive that this adds little to their value, and may not help with comparisons across platforms due to the disparate COUNTER reports used by different publishers / e-book aggregators

E-book collection – subscription model (COUNTER compliant stats)

Individual title – subscription model – n.b. stats not COUNTER compliant

How do users want to access e- books? Will users want to use them via their own equipment – iphones, iliad, kindle etc? Should the library buy e-book readers and loan them out as we do laptops? If so which ones should we buy?

Where do we go from here?? Libraries still feel they are not getting access to enough of the e-books they want to buy Users are interested in ebks and increasingly comfortable with using them. JISC Observatory project has exploded myth about library ebk sales damaging print sales Time is ripe for publishers to come up with new and sustainable business models for library e-book sales

Help is at hand! : New from JISC Aim is to create realistic, simple and sustainable business models using real data from a range of access models Reviewed the current e-textbook business model landscape Selected a variety a trials following consultation with a range of stakeholders Will include the crown jewel e-textbooks The trials will take place over a full academic year The impacts on print sales, time and resource will be measured Take account of the uneven and non-linear use A study on the management and economic impact of e-textbook business models on publishers, e-book aggregators and universities
