Provision of Science Information Services to the Cambridge Scientific community
Challenges• Budgetary constraints – above inflationary price increases • University strategic priorities and their impact, including on ‘library
space’ (includes closure of our sister library)• Increasing user expectations – ‘frontline’ support for Research Council
mandates • Resource discovery increasingly takes place outside the library

Provision of Science Information Services to the Cambridge Scientific community
Solutions – driven by consultation and collaboration• Changes the use of library as space – tenfold increase in user numbers
during the exam term • Streamlining of processes – more time for collection development• Adapting of electronic texts where possible and if desirable• Adaptive research skills programme - including online element

Limited Budget
Cambridge Assessment and Cambridge University Press, which operate in challenging international markets, represent an increasingly important
source of unrestricted funding for the teaching and research activities of the University
![Page 15: UKSG Conference 2017 Breakout - Keeping up with customer needs: decision making on a limited budget - Nisha Doshi, Yvonne Nobis, Simon Ross and Jennifer Wright](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011722/58ee1ff11a28ab446f8b4659/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Limited budgetSpend in line with our
mission
to disseminate knowledge in the pursuit of education, learning and research at the highest
international levels of excellence
..and return a profit to support the University’s
activities

So we have to make money to continue to fund teaching and research…
• But some of our customers expect us not to
![Page 17: UKSG Conference 2017 Breakout - Keeping up with customer needs: decision making on a limited budget - Nisha Doshi, Yvonne Nobis, Simon Ross and Jennifer Wright](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011722/58ee1ff11a28ab446f8b4659/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What would you do? Case study 1: Editorial
• Print & online subscription journal• Currently volunteer run, want to expand readership and reachNeed
• That CUP could take it on and do development work• That their current membership fee income would cover costs• That it would remain subscription (no OA)
Expectation
• Current membership income not enough for low cost solution (e.g. OJS, Ubiquity) with no development work.
• APC model not viable for amount and type of content
Limited Budget

You choose:
Take it on “pro bono”
Develop a new “lightweight” service
Look for additional funding, partners, or models
Provide advice and training, but journal remains self-published

What would you do? Case study 2: Services
•More streamlined journal submission process with minimal formatting headache•Article versioning and collaborative editingNeed•Instant free access to the tool•Uniformity of experience•Part of service provisionExpectation•Cost per journal per year > annual income of journal in example 1Limited Budget
![Page 20: UKSG Conference 2017 Breakout - Keeping up with customer needs: decision making on a limited budget - Nisha Doshi, Yvonne Nobis, Simon Ross and Jennifer Wright](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022011722/58ee1ff11a28ab446f8b4659/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
You choose:
Include as optional service charge (e.g. as tiered APCs)
Get rid of journal submission formatting requirements
Save some costs by training in-house to develop templates ourselves
Don’t do anything
Continue to cover costs, roll out to more journals as need arises

Some proposed approaches to decision making:
• Involve customers in decision making – what’s most important?Needs
• Raise awareness of the importance of UP income to research and teachingExpectations
• Join up with the University where we can to maximise impact of investment across the research and teaching lifecycle
