11. 11 Memorandum of Agreement signed Procurement making minor changes Librarian position posted Joint Team meets April 3 Next step: Send blanket letter to all vendors (publishers) requesting change UCB Journals Partnership

12. 12 Relevant online journals available to LBNL as a % of relevant journals available to UCB Vendors (Publishers) agreeing to provide online journals to LBNL through UCB licenses as a % of publishers of relevant content available to UCB Number of new relevant titles available online List of additional benefits including access to backfiles, databases, eBooks etc. Partnership Metrics

13. 13 Many vendors have mix of journals – some of interest to LBNL and some not Counting all journals could “over-sell” value How do we get input from as many scientists as possible as each deal is negotiated? Challenge – Identifying Relevance

14. 14 How can we identify which current print subscriptions are no longer needed? Print Subscriptions

15. Benefits To Date New titles o ACS Archive o SPIE – 7 o EDP Sciences – 12 o Karger – 77 o ASME - 17 o Academic Search Complete – large number available as PDFs o Emerald – 140 o Annual Reviews – 28 ( waiting for contract) 15

16. Benefits to Date (ctd) Increased Scope o American Chemical Society (ACS) legacy archive o (Nature and American Geophysical Union back files also available now) Reduced Cost o ACS Journals and Legacy Archive o Nature o American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) o EBSCO Academic Search may enable us to reduce cost for some online content o EDP Sciences o Funding enabled for  SciFinder  SPIE 16

17. Partnership Next Steps Year end renewals completed Waiting for UCB contracts office to sign agreement UCB hiring additional staff – approved but now delayed o Librarian o Other staff Annual Reviews agreed but can’t be signed until contract in place Current negotiations continuing o American Institute of Physics (AIP) o Institute of Physics (IOP) o Cold Springs Harbor o Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) o ProQuest o Elsevier When contract in place – UC will send out blanket request to all other publishers 17
