1. Building ebook collections: challenges & Opportunities Ebook Ecosystem 2016: State of the Art, Five Years On New Orleans, June 25, 2011 Michael Levine-Clark Collections Librarian University of Denver michael.levine-clark@du.edu

2. The Ideal World: 2016 A mostly demand-driven collection eBooks primarily Print-On-Demand secondarily A much larger collection – bounded only by budget Some packages based on solid use data All with consortial options eBooks widely available eBooks easy to use Device agnostic Minimal DRM

3. How do we get there? What must we improve?

4. Content Flexibility and Predictability All titles All aggregators All pricing models Multiple formats simultaneously Electronic Print Local print-on-demand

5. Digital Rights Management Less is better, but publishers need some control No limitations within licensed user group On device On use Limitations on sharing beyond group

6. Pricing Flexibility! Title-by-title or package Purchase or subscription Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA) Short-term lease ILL Component of DDA

7. Pricing Ability to acquire E/P (or POD) bundle, even retroactively Consortial options Must recognize traditional spending patterns Should work across aggregators Should work with DDA Sliding discount?

8. Integration with Print Workflow Approval vendor(s) Deduplication Bundling Billing
