CONTEXT
A marketplace dominated by great international companies
Global trends in merging :- Elsevier=Academic Press, Lexis-Nexis, Cell Press,
Beilstein, Masson…- Springer-Kluwer Merger (merged in Springer
Science+Business Media)- Taylor & Francis= Carfax, Routledge, CRC Press,
Swets…And this is not a good thing for patrons

Problems
Documentation costs grow faster than library budgets (Publishers charge extra for online access); Even the wealthiest institution cannot purchase access to all the information that all of its researchers require
Site-licenses and consortia deals have helped, but mainly in the richest countries
Dissatisfaction with the current scholarly communication model : research funded by public grants given to no cost to publishers

Accessing Scientific Information in the electronic era
2- The role of consortia : a european overview
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
9
The role of Consortia in Europe*
Strengths and weaknesses of consortiaNever forget that consortia exist because publishers
need them at the moment
Library cooperation and the creation of consortia are directly influenced by :
The political and administrative system in the individual countries
- The past cooperation experience between libraries
* Cf. T. Giordano. Library consortia in Europe. Europ. Univ. Institute. Firenze

Consortia in Europe
Nordic countries, GB, Germany, Switzerland… :Cooperation practice : ++
More centralized organizations in nordic countries (Finelib), France (Couperin), Great Britain (JISC)...
More regional organisations in Germany, Spain, Italy….
Status of consortia :Generally, a light status (association, plain agreement
between libraries…) : a strength (adaptability) a weakness (light legal basis)
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
11
Consortia in Europe
FUNDING :
Many cases :- Central Funding (Finland, Sweden, Great
Britain…)- Cost sharing between members (Italy,France)- Support from national organization for some
national projects (France: state subsidies for purchasing groups, Germany: DFG, …)
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
12
The role of Consortia in Europe
Consortia deal with :1- Purchasing and Licensing electronic
documentation (buying club activities : All consortia)
2- Carrying out broader objectives (some consortia) such as:Promoting technological cooperation : information systems, portals, Archiving, Digital repositories, open access initiatives…

PURCHASING & LICENSING ACTIVITY
1- KEY ISSUES FOR THE PURCHASING ACTIVITY
GETTING BETTER PRICES :- Prices increase are far more higher than inflation rate
GETTING BETTER PRICING MODELS :- Electronic costs still based on paper suscription turn-
over- How to get out of « Big deals »? Towards more
flexibility
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
14
LICENSING ACTIVITY
WHAT’S LICENSING? Defining the terms of the agreement :
- The population who access to the information and the way its accesses to it
- The use of the information- The archival rights and their management- ILL rights…- Legal terms : the language used for the contract and
the place of legal contestWe still have to make progress in this commercial
and legal process
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
15
PURCHASING & LICENSING ACTIVITY
What could we do at the european level?
- Share more information about licensing negotiations (ICOLC)- Settle a single agreement with big publishers for several
european countries?
A dream? Transnational deals exist (GRACO)- Introducing new conditions for the negotiation towards
cancelling print suscription : alternatives to the Big deal

Accessing Scientific Information in the electronic era
3- Key issues for the dissemination of the scientific information
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
17
KEY ISSUES
LONG TERM ARCHIVING :- From a landlord condition to a tenant one : we own print
journals, we get access to e-information- How archiving the information bought and managing the
access rights of many institutions?- KLB manage the archives of ScienceDirect, ABES&CINES in
France too
We must include in our contracts additional clauses for long term archiving

18
KEY ISSUES
REAPPROPIATING SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION BY RESEARCHERS
DEVELOPPING OPEN-ACCESS SOLUTIONS
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
19
KEY ISSUES
Steps of the open-access movement :- 1990 : First free scientific electronic journals- 1991 : ArXiv launched by Paul Ginsparg in Los
Alamos (2001: Cornell university)- 1993 : CERN launched its preprint server- 1998 : SPARC launched by ARL- 1999 : Open Archive Initiative (Santa Fe meeting)- 2000 : Biomed central : 1st free on-line article- 2002 : Public Library of Science (PLOS) : 2 OA Jrnls- 2003 : DOAJ (2199 on-line free available jrnals in06)
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
20
KEY ISSUES
Steps of the open-access movement (2) :
Declarations :
- 2002 : Budapest open Access Initiative (BOAI) by the Open society institute
- 2003 : Bethesda statement on OA publishing- 2003 : Berlin declaration on OA access to knowledge- 2005 : EBLIDA statement endorsed OA
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
21
KEY ISSUES
2 ways for delivering OA research articles :- open access repositories- open access journals1- OA Archives or repositories : Contents : pre- or postprints, theses… Belong to an
institution (university, research institutions or disciplines : ArXiv in Physics…)
OAI-MH made them interoperable (metadata harvesting)
Low costs : server space+human resource

KEY ISSUES
OAISTER
OAIster is a project of the University of Michigan Digital Library Production Service. A collection of freely available academically-oriented digital resources.
When you search in OAIster, you're searching a wide variety of collections from a wide variety of institutions. These institutions have made the records of their digital resources available to us, and we have gathered and aggregated them into the OAIster service.
7,145,022 records from 620 institutions (updated 19 April 2006)

KEY ISSUES
OA Repositories :A national initiative in France :
May 2006 : Agreement between Research institutions (CNRS, Inserm…) and Universities (CPU : University Presidents Conference) with the support of the Education Ministry to manage together HAL application (On-line Hyperarticle) of the CCSD (Direct Communication Center of CNRS).
All french researchers will be invited to archive their publications in HAL. Libraries will take part in the administration process

KEY ISSUES FOR CONSORTIA
2- Open-access journals:
Peer-reviewed information; journal process
Costs : peer-review, manuscript preparation, server space
Economic model : author pays model (actually, most of the time, institutions pay).
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
28
KEY ISSUES FOR CONSORTIA
2- Examples :
- CogPrints (S. Harnad, )
- BIOMED Central
- Springer Open choice
- CENS (France)...

KEY ISSUES FOR CONSORTIA
Questions :Open access : a panacea?- Undoubtedly, OA repositories : a good way to make
information freely available, - to get long term archives which will prevent us from
purchasing them from publishers.But, not an alternative to journal holdings even if the avaibility of journals via OA archives is taken in account for cancellationsThe threat of journal cancellations : more on peripheral journals than on core ones. More on aggregators than on publishers.
François CAVALIER- Université Claude Bernard Lyon1- Couperin
30
KEY ISSUES FOR CONSORTIA
Questions :OA journals : the next step for publishing system beyond
toll access?Quite a difficult point :- Not sure that OA journals will be less expensive (Cf.
Cornell study)- Publishers under pressure to make OA concessions
seeking to redefine it by introducing self-archiving embargoes.
- We don’t have a clear definition of what OA is and what it entails

Scientific publication is in a hybrid phase combining OA and toll-access
