Challenges Trigger reports Usage reports Channels Duplication of content within an Institution Overlap of content across the BLC Data analysis STL ILL More players, there are 23 BLC institutions Energy and willpower
16
Learned to date- Selection pool of 705 titles (discovery records) 397 unique titles had been used Of those, 143 titles had been purchased by the BLC Total SUPO list price of books purchased via pilot (includes multiple copies) = $114,413 Funds spent by BLC for those books = $58,963 Data as of March 14, 2013
18
Next steps- Continue the project as Phase 2 Call for participants from BLC sent out May 7 Hope is that 7 charter institutions will continue to participate and that at least 2-3 new participants will join the fun! On the content side, we have asked ebrary to explore expanding our publisher partner list, maybe 2-3 more publishers to add more diverse content to the selection pool Phase 2 to begin July 1, 2013 Continue to gather data – analyze to tease out best practice for a shared ebook pricing model
19
Equitable pricing model

Everybody wins – BLC, ebrary, YBP, OCLC, publishers and most important – our users
