Jisc e books consortia project
1. JISC e-books consortia project
SCONUL annual conference and AGM 2013

2. 2
» To explore if there is an effective way to purchase e-books on a title-by-
title basis for collaborative group of academic libraries:
› Would all books have sufficient use to provide value for all the
members?
› How could such a collaboration be equitably funded?
› How much would the publishers charge for consortia purchase – and
would they think they were getting a good deal (gaining revenue
through more sales by providing a consortia discount)?
› How could such a scheme be managed?
The purpose of the project

Max Planck Institutes
» Each Max Planck Institute can order single e-book titles
according to its needs
» Pricing for the ordering institute is at factor 1 -- that means at
the regular list price for that institute
» Provider invoices the ordering institute
» Access to purchased e-books is activated for the whole Max
Planck Society: not only for the ordering institute but for all 80
institutes at no additional cost

» Consorci de Biblioteques Universitàries de Catalunya (CBUC)
» “In 2009We decided to create our own e-books big deal”:
The basic idea:
– Choose 1
– Pay 1 (and CBUC will additionally pay 2)
– Get 9
» Total expenditure 130.000: € 50.000€ from members + 80.000€
fromCBUC funds
» Average price per title and member = 12€ (standard price can be
50/60€)

» While the Max Plank and CBUC have trialed the model no
analysis was done of usage, cost per usage and value
» Thus no evidence that sharing is a good idea!
Calculating the value

» For the JISC Collections Consortia e-book Pilot each
Participating Publisher has agreed to a Multiplier for consortia
pricing.
› This means that the Selecting Institution will pay the Standard Fee and
JISCCollections will pay the Multiplier Fees
› For example if the agreed Multiplier is 2, the Selecting Institution will pay
the Standard Fee and JISC Collections will pay the Multiplier Fee
equivalent to 1x Standard Fee
› If the agreed multiplier is 3, the Selecting Institution will pay the Standard
Fee and JISCCollections will pay the 2 x Standard Fee
