- 1. IREL: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE How the libraries of the IUA and RCSI have collaborated to deliver essential information resources to researchers Arlene Healy (Library,Trinity College Dublin), Rita Pinhasi (IReL at MU)
- 2. HISTORY Increase in Irish government investment in research from 2000, especially in ICT and Biotechnology! Recognition of insufficient information resource access to support growing research community Lobbying by senior researchers and university librarians for funding Shared research electronic Library for all the Universities Essential piece of research infrastructure
- 3. FUNDING
- 4. Demand from Humanities & Social Sciences Researchers HEA Funding 2006-2009
- 6. CORE PRINCIPLES Centrally funded (Maintenance of existing spend) Strictly online resources only Emphasis on current, full text journals/databases Access to ALL resources for ALL staff, students and researchers of the seven Universities and selected resources for Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland Resource selection based on consultation across research community Resources included reflected greatest demand across all eight members Value for money was key from the outset Impact and usage analysed from beginning
- 7. WHO IS IREL? IUA Librarians ‘ Group IReL Steering Group IReL Staff @ Maynooth University Monitoring Group
- 8. HOW ARE RESOURCES SELECTED? Researchers identify resource for inclusion Usage is reviewed each year (IReL Staff, MG) Resources is assessed for suitability for national licence (ISG, IReL Staff) National Licence is obtained by IReL (ISG, IReL Staff) Annual Review of Resources: Usage, Value for money, Relevance (ISG, IReL Staff) Researchers consulted about retention or cancellation (ISG)
- 10. VALUE FOR MONEY Decreasing Cost per Use

- 21. … group discounts … central negotiations … central invoicing … central funding … model licence
- 22. “WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?” We asked some publishers – what are the benefits of working with IReL? Well, it’s not just money, money, money… National licence – prestige Central negotiations Exposure

- 25. WHAT’S NEXT? High Expectations Value for money - Supporting the needs of our research community IReL review Review of current holdings Cancellations? End of the Big Deal? Changes in national policy? Moving to publication rather than reading focused model? OA – leadership and strategy
- 26. THANKYOU! Hosts Funders Current and past members of IReL Working Groups
Notas do Editor
- Stability –2-3 years IReL is working on behalf of several institutions – saves time General publishing business moving very fast – ex.: if OA becomes the norm in Ireland, IReL could channel the negotiations Institutions have more confidence as they have 1 central negotiations – much less hassle Publisher – Institution relationship: as licensing is looked after centrally, publishers can discuss other things with members Marketing of Publishers’ resources to publisher: IReL = trusted source
- While IReL, through its current set of resources can cater for the essential requirements of its members, investments beyond the funding request will be required to equip Ireland with a globally competitive research infrastructure. With additional funding IReL could develop a collection that would provide a level playing field to its researchers against a backdrop of an increasingly competitive international landscape etc. see pge 5. IReL falling behind with major scholarly c.ollections such as JSTOR, OUP, Sage etc. (pge 9) The SG in collaboration with researchers – submitting a proposal on potential areas for growth and associated costs BUT ALSO CANCELLATION. Improving on the content available to the consortium nationally the HEA, IUA Council and DJEI will provide an environment which could not only support research to an international level but will also be capable of attracting and nurturing world class talent, including researchers who seek new opportunities, for e.g. Brexit. Are we going to go down the Project DEAL route, similar to Germany. ??? TBD. Dutch model, Read and publish rather than Big Deal etc. Ensuring continuing compliance with government procurement guidelines – databases challenges in this area.
