Jonathan Nabe Southern Illinois University Carbondale NASIG Annual Conference June 3, 2011

 Perceived value  Anticipated reaction

 SIU is a system, with a Law School, Medical School, Dental School, and a sister campus, SIU Edwardsville  Morris Library is an ARL library, with a collection of 2.8 million volumes and a budget of $5.3 million

 Lost access  ILL requests  University reaction and response  Budget  Collection management

 Springer, 2009 (GWLA, 2005-) Began as a Kluwer package  Wiley, 2010 (GWLA, 2001-) With a nod to Blackwell STM (CARLI)  Elsevier, 2010 (SIU System, 2003-) With a fond remembrance of the Academic Press Freedom Collection

 Springer:1100 titles  Wiley:597 titles  Elsevier:242 titles

 10,000 downloads from 1100 non- subscribed titles in year prior to departure  82% of titles received fewer than 1 per month (900 of 1100 )  36% of titles received none (400 of 1100)

 11,254 downloads from 597 nonsubscribed titles in year prior to departure  62% of titles received fewer than 1 per month (370 of 597)  10% of titles received none (57 of 597)

 19,452 downloads from 242 titles in year prior to departure  28% of titles received fewer than 1 per month (68 of 242)  2 titles received none

 One year of data  We do keep archival access  Only one year of lost access

 From top 25% of nonsubscribed titles (=125)  27% had ILL request in post- departure 12 month period (34 of 125)  9% had more than one request (11 of 125)  Total of 71 requests, compared to 7770 downloads the previous year  Demand is 0.9% of downloads

 From top 25% of nonsubscribed titles (=61)  38% had ILL request in post-departure 12 month period (23 of 61)  20% had more than one request (12 of 61)  Total of 46 requests, compared to 15,017 downloads the previous year  Demand is 0.3% of downloads

 Download statistics are not an accurate indicator of demand  Incidental use, repeated use, linking methods, convenience, etc.  Don’t fear the downloads

 Result: three complaints so far  Due to University-wide grasp of budget situation?

 Response is minimal, manageable  Leaving presents an educational opportunity  Effective response: downloads/cost per download; alternatives even more painful

 $290,000 annually (including the cuts made as part of the cancellation project) (Over half of our FY10 mono budget)

 Flexibility to cancel by need, not by contract  Flexibility to swap - by design, not by contract  Protection of non-Big Deal publishers  Protection of the mono funds  Result: a collection that reflects the needs of the University community

 Issues: Content fees increased or added Loss of price cap Adjusted subscription price for titles Pressure for new multiyear deal Enforcement of ceased license terms

GWLA license included LOCKSS clause Springer declined to participate SIUC challenged this decision, with support of Legal Counsel, and eventually, GWLA and ICOLC Springer reversed its decision, and is now a LOCKSS compliant publisher

 Questions: How will base price be determined? Is there a penalty for leaving? Is a multiyear deal desirable? Are there license issues to be addressed?

You can do it! Jonathan Nabe Collection Development Librarian, SIUC
