Pricing ModelsPricing Models

Always looking for new models - working closely with the international library community

Experimentation is important

Usage based pricing may become more important

Document Delivery as an alternative to Inter-Library Loan - we want to hear from sites interested in working together on this

Subject specific collections with additional document delivery available

Current Models...

Pricing Models - Individual TitlesPricing Models - Individual Titles

Firmly believe that online should be available separately from print:

– Online Only = 90% of Print Price

– Combined = 110% of Print Price

Advantages of separating print & online pricing:

– More choice for the customer

– Measure the rate of transition from print to online

– Passes on cost savings to online only subscribers

– Online “Free” with print penalises paper subscribers

19

Pricing Models - CollectionPricing Models - Collection

Blackwell Science/Munksgaard Collection:

– Model for institutions not facing pressure to switch from paper to electronic collection (Sites must maintain print subs for 1 year)

– All online titles are included

– Adds value by providing access to titles not previously in collection

– Fixed fee per site independent of paper spend

20

Pricing Models - CollectionPricing Models - Collection

Per Site Fee = (US)$1,915 <7K FTEPer Site Fee = (US)$3,765 7K-15K FTEPer Site Fee = (US)$5,675 >15K FTE
