The Evidence Based Acquisition Model
What is it?
Deposit up front
Access all/defined content for a year and then chose what to keep to value of deposit
Usage data
The EBA model and discussions with publishers
– EBASS25 project
– A ‘good fit’

CUP EBA eBooks Offer HE & FE
Institutions opt for 12 months or 6 months access to either all monographs or to specified subject collections. The total list price of the complete monographs collection is over £1,250,000.
12 month access option:
At the mid-point of the agreement (end of 6 months) institutions must use 33% of their upfront payment by selecting books up to that value to keep in perpetuity by the end of the 7 th month. At the end of the 12 month period the institution decides the remainder of the selection of books to keep in perpetuity based on usage (or other criteria). This decision is made by the end of the 13th month.
6 month access option:
At the end of the 6 month period the institution shall decide the selection of books to keep in perpetuity based on usage (or other criteria). This decision is made by the end of the 7th month
Lowest FE price £3,300 for access to a subject collection for 6 months:
– Humanities, Social Sciences, or STM Collections
Conclusion: Not affordable to FE generally when Opt In

JISC Collections
EBA model – considerations for FE
Pros and Cons of the model
–Opt-in
–Each institution has to put an amount upfront
• What amount is relevant for FE?
• Essentially a paid for trial?
• How many title will the deposit buy at the end?
–MARC records
–No DRM so access to all content for a year or six months
–Usage analysis
• Find out which eBook titles get used by College and across FE
–Consortia pricing may make a difference
| Slide 10
JISC Collections
EBA Consortia pricing
Commitment from participants
Negotiate/agree with the Publisher(s) what the cost of a title is for retaining perpetual access by all participating colleges
Combine deposits from participating FE colleges as single deposit
Have the trial
Review combined usage of eBooks
Agree which eBooks to share / keep in perpetuity to the value of the combined deposit

JISC Collections
Jisc eBooks Consortia Project
Based on a consortial business model trialled by Max Planck Institute (Germany) and CBUC (Spain)
Consortium of 6 academic libraries with large Engineering Faculties
6 publishers of engineering books (some large engineering publishers excluded as libraries had existing big deals)
Whenever one of the libraries purchased an eBook, all libraries had access
‘Price multiplier’ negotiated with each publisher. In the pilot this was paid by JISC Collections. In a ‘real life’ consortium it would be split among the libraries

HE in FE
Things to check
Does the FE College have an HE partner?
Is the HE partner willing to look into extending access from their e-resource licenses to incorporate HE in FE student users for key resources?
– Additional Authorised Users

KAFEC: HE students in FE Colleges Vicky Legge, Licensing Manager
JISC Collections | KAFEC | Slide 18
KAFEC - Consortium of 6 Kent Colleges
5 of the 6 colleges have directly funded HE students
These HE students no longer have access to eResources via their partner university
Partner university validates courses, but they are no longer ‘their’ students
Students now belong to the college
FE College receives direct funding and student tuition fees
Colleges have a small window of time to provide eResources to support their HE courses
Content not relevant to their FE students

JISC Collections
KAFEC: Mostly about Journals
Jisc Collections working with KAFEC
6 key shared interest publishers identified
5 Publishers offering free trials (to Dec)
Majority of the publishers are NESLi2
SAGE, Wiley, T&F, Elsevier, Springer and Emerald
E.g. Wiley 50% discount FE price, Springer open trials to all FE
Trials – Identify level of use of HE in FE / collections of interest
Monitor Usage in JUSP

JISC Collections
KAFEC: Considerations and Next Steps
HE access by Shibboleth Credentials (UKAMF Helpdesk info provided)
Not all institutions want to take part in the agreements
Review usage in JUSP
–Can institutions offer HE-only Shibboleth access? –HE-only deals and potential closed consortium offers–Learn from discussions to potentially help other FE institutions–Springer Feedback (all FE trials; journals and ebooks)
| KAFEC| Slide 20
JISC Collections
Harnessing Shared eBooks Interest
Planning
– Leading the consortium / co-ordinating the activity
– Committing budget at the outset/ Setting Consortium objectives
– Which content and which model?
– Publishers (Collection, EBA) / Aggregators (Multiplier)
– Access arrangements [HE in FE?]
Negotiating the deal
Reporting and communication
Invoicing and Single Payment
Licensing
