weaker than before Impact on 2011 e-information renewals: CSIC
-500.000 CBUC -200.000 Forced to do some cancellations
(where?)
- Slide 4
- 4 Spanish consortia meetings Elsevier meetings in March and May
2010: 3 (out of 8) consortia have to negotiate renewals now Why not
join in order to have the same (better) conditions for all when its
time to renew each agreement? Offering Elsevier a single point
negotiation table Adding more participants? Purchasing other
Elsevier products? Asked Elsevier for a proposal (mainly a
reduction on annual price increases/price cap) Elsevier didnt bring
any proposal Wants to negotiate each renewal separately At least
will offer the same to the 3 consortia renewing now
- Slide 5
- 5 FECYT (Spanish Science & Technology Foundation) First
meeting with Spanish consortia last month Good feeling, but need to
be clear about the role each part has to play! Consortia see FECYT
as a political allied to help us in administrative issues, not as
another consortium. Projects that are involving both FECYT and
consortia: ISI Web of Knowledge The only Spanish nacional license
(2004-) Fully paid by FECYT until 2009 Now they need money and ask
for some collaboration from universities, etc. Consortia asked for
a co-participation on the decisions also. Maybe less content in the
future (but keeping WOS+JCR)? VAT report On behalf of Spanish
library consortia: what is their fiscal personality? Report just
received: consortia have to invoice their members both consortia
and members can then ask for VAT devolution OA/SELL meeting in
Granada (more about this tomorrow)

much content as possible No new incomes available, though we tried
Also tried to move some costs to other budgets, but didnt succeed
Asked vendors for creative solutions but received few interesting
ones (except for some, who offered extra discounts) Beginning to
ask e-journals publishers to reduce price increases as much as
possible (0%?) However, well surely have to cancel a database: but
which one?!
