What is the a subset of titles published with the assistance of HighWire Press publishers with similar philosophies of access and use pricing models which distinguish between print and online journals 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
Basic Assumption: Not all electronic journals are the same HighWire Model: Print and online journals are diverging rapidly The differences make a difference to users 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
Examples of Differences online published ahead of print original research results not found in print inter-title, inter-publisher links to full-text links to datasets and databases forward and backward citations research alerts and author communications multi-year back issue access with any current subscription 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
Online Journals Incorporate peer-reviewed multi-media (audio & video) peer-reviewed datasets rapid communication (letters to editors) news and more, not found in print Users demand this added value 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
Within Two Years: HW Model online will be journal of ‘record’ print journal will be partial record print will no longer be an archive price link between print and online will not make sense 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
Publishers Offer Price Variations on Basic Schema Online journal is a separate product from print print only, print+online bundle, online only print only, no bundle, online only no print only, print+online bundle, online only online priced less than print online priced more than print 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
All Schema use common site definition rely on fair use permit unlimited access at site offer online only purchase options (with option to cancel print) 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
Pricing offers online journal as a new, research-oriented product reflects online/print divergence by not mandating print retention does not require library to guarantee publisher revenue at previous levels encourages the transition from print to online favors a library strategy to consolidate print holdings over time 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
Consortium Discounts no print discounts discounts for multi-site online title purchases per unit discounts increase with consortia size breaks at six, sixteen and thirty-one members actual publisher discounts vary 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
Collection Development if consortium retains extensive print holdings, consortial discounts for online only may not give best results print+online bundle may be most cost effective way to purchase the online version where extensive print holdings are retained best results available if ‘buying’ and ‘canceling’ can be coordinated consortium discounts most effective if print holdings are limited 1 October 1998 International Consortium of Library Consortia
