- 3. OhioLINK Has: • A History of Cooperative Collection Development • Most members use YBP as a primary vendor • Selectors use GOBI and the OhioLINK central catalog to minimize duplication in our print collections • A Tradition of Sharing Resources • Member libraries’ print collections are a shared state resource • In 2012, “P-CIRC” delivered over 600,000 itmes at a cost of just under $ 1 million
- 4. E-Books Don’t Fit the OhioLINK Model Because: AN INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTION’S PURCHASES (TYPICALLY) CAN’T BE SHARED
- 5. E-Books: The OhioLINK Response (A History) • DDA: • NetLibrary • Rental: • Safari • Purchase: • Oxford Scholarship Online • Springer • Wiley
- 6. ITN Issued April 2011 • Aimed to“Explore Mechanisms to Purchase E-book Content That Would Be Made Available to All Consortium Members.” • Combined Community Funds to Create a Funding Pool • YBP/Ebrary Response Led to the Development of the Current OhioLINK Pilot Project
- 7. Pilot Vision: • E-books Purchased Must Be Available to All Consortium Members • Unlimited Use • Multiple Publishers • Profiled Selection • DDA component
- 8. Pilot Implementation: • Three Publishers • Ashgate/Gower (ebrary platform) • Rowman & Littlefield/Altamira/Scarecrow (ebrary platform) • Cambridge (publisher platform) • Three Collecting Methods • Subject-based purchase • Profile-based purchase • DDA
- 9. Purchases to Date: • Profiled Purchases: • Ashgate: 180 titles • Rowman & Littlefield: 75 titles • Cambridge: 66 titles • DDA Pool: • Ashgate: 117 titles; 19 purchases • Rowman & Littlefield: 88 titles; 24 purchases • Cambridge: not yet implemented
- 10. Usage To Date: Ebrary Platform (total/from DDA) Month Titles Available Views Copy/Print/ Download Sessions April 2013 53 164 0 49 May 2013 74 289 0 96 June 2013 96 557 / 180 32 / 22 140 / 43 July 2013 142 2054 / 819 10 / 2 213 / 77 August 2013 186 1387 / 373 70 / 66 415 / 72 September 2013 385 3185 / 1059 211 / 9 549 / 100

- 12. Next Steps: • Evaluation of Pilot Project • Usage • Expense • Comparison with other OhioLINK e-book packages • Possible continuation, modification or expansion of pilot • • • • DDA only? No DDA? Profiling method? Incorporate short-term loans? New publishers? Additional subject areas?
Editor's Notes
- OSU to Shawnee StateCase Western Reserve to Mercy Theological SeminarySinclair to Hocking
- In fact, sharing of print collections is the founding principle an institution must agree to in order to be an OhioLINK member
- Many OhioLINK members are purchasing e-books, establishing DDA plans, etc. Pressure to do more to obtain ebooks for the consortia
- Probably don’t have enough history yet to do an in-depth analysis of use.Note: growth in use over time Use of channels makes tracking institutional use difficult in a union catalog environment
- Cambridge came in late, so we don’t have a lot of use. Counter stats don’t compare well to ebrary stats.
