The Ideal World: 2016
• A mostly demand-driven collection• eBooks primarily• Print-On-Demand secondarily• A much larger collection – bounded only by budget• Some packages based on solid use data• All with consortial options
• eBooks widely available• eBooks easy to use
• Device agnostic• Minimal DRM
HOW DO WE GET THERE?What must we improve?

• Flexibility and Predictability• All titles• All aggregators• All pricing models• Multiple formats simultaneously
• Electronic• Print• Local print-on-demand
Digital Rights Management
• Less is better, but publishers need some control
• No limitations within licensed user group• On device• On use
• Limitations on sharing beyond group
Pricing
• Flexibility!• Title-by-title or package• Purchase or subscription
• Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA)• Short-term lease
• ILL• Component of DDA
Pricing
• Ability to acquire E/P (or POD) bundle, even retroactively
• Consortial options• Must recognize traditional spending patterns• Should work across aggregators• Should work with DDA
• Sliding discount?
Integration with Print Workflow
