Platform/Portability/Perpetuity
Springer Summit 11/02/11
Filters/Lenses
Cost vs Book List PriceUser experience
Springer Summit 11/02/11
1) Use restrictions/Digital Rights Management
Experiment: NetLibrary now Ebsco EbooksClaremont bought 9000 ebooks 2001-2003Results: Users hated them1 simultaneous userPrint: Page at a timeUser impactEbooks = Rolled eyesGrad students: I need something I can actually useSmaller school impact: the same
Failure

2) Access vs Ownership
Experiment: Ebrary Academic Complete2008- Results:Plugin approach often failedAccess to 50,000 books: List price: $3,335,000Claremont annual cost: $12,500List price per year = 0.375%Still with single user limit but major limitation = discoverySmaller school applicationPer fte list cost $4Consortial negotiation to address minimumImplication: Leased collections have a place
