WEST System Development Plans

1. Collection Analysis and Archiving Enhancements. • Support group decisions during each archiving cycle• Support archive creation and collection management: ability to 

review and commit to proposed journal families, download collection comparison reports 

2. Needs and Offers. Improve the process for filling gaps. Includes functionality to publicize “needs” (gaps) and make “offers” of needed volumes.

3. Title nominations. Implement procedures and system functionality to facilitate nominations from WEST member libraries for deep backfiles to be considered for the WEST archive.

WEST Needs and Offers

Improve the process for filling gaps with system to publicize “needs” (gaps) and make “offers” of needed volumes.

• WEST has joined with the U of Florida/ASERL/ScholarsTrust to use their Journal Retention and Needs Listing (JRNL) system which supports gap‐filling and communication among offering/needing libraries

• Expected implementation summer 2015

Strategic Planning for WEST’s Future

During Phase 2 (2014‐2016), two program assessments are planned:

• Phase 1 assessment (2014, completed)–Member survey–Member fees study– Archive disclosures review (PAPR/OCLC)

• Phase 2 assessment (2016)

Page 22: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Phase 1 Assessment Themes

1. Value of WEST as a collection management, preservation and access strategy.

2. Possible changes to the current WEST program.

3. Possible new directions and services.

Page 23: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Key Findings – Value of WEST

• Members highly value WEST as a preservation and access service. Space reclamation is an important but more institution‐specific goal.

• WEST members strongly support continuing beyond 2016 (end of Phase 2 Mellon grant) 

• 95% are likely to continue to participate in the Trust over the next five years 

Page 24: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Key Findings – Archive Creation and Collections Analysis

• Members value active archive creation as a core element of the WEST partnership.

• When considering increased fees to provide for active archive creation, mixed responses from different cohorts in WEST. 

• The majority of respondents prefer collection analysis once a year (60%), with 27% indicating it could be conducted once every twenty‐four months. 

Page 25: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Key Findings – Disclosure, Discovery and Delivery

• The most valued method for recording retention commitments is via WEST Disclosure policy

– Provides consistency with emerging national standards and to facilitate national/ international discovery and delivery 

• While disclosing in PAPR is valued, disclosure in OCLC is the most highly valued place to record retention commitments. OCLC disclosure is an area for improvement

– PAPR disclosure rate Cycles 1 and 2 = ~90% – OCLC disclosure rate Cycles 1 and 2 = ~65% 

Page 26: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Key Findings – Business Model and Engagement

• Cost of participating in WEST is “about right” (68%); too low (8%); too high (~25%)

• WEST activities performed by staff are proportionate to the benefits accrued to their institution; only 14% report the benefits are disproportionate. 

• There is interest among non‐Archive Holder institutions in serving in Archive Holder roles (16%), but there may be limits to the extent to which distribution can occur

Page 27: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Key Findings – Member Fees Evaluation

• WEST invested approximately $75/title in Phase 1

• WEST members that participate in other trusted services (Portico, CLOCKSS, CRL) invest substantially more in them on an annual basis and receive services for equal or less content (e.g. 17K titles archived in Portico and WEST for average member fees of $11,652 and $2,369 respectively)

• WEST’s minimum and maximum Phase 1 member fees ($596/$7,091) are significantly less than other trusted services (e.g. Portico $3,193/$19,570)

“I view WEST as an essential regional node in a national network of institutions guaranteeing the long‐term viability of scholarship in print. I hope that WEST will continue as a trusted print archive of scholarship for as long as possible.”

Strategic planning for the futurea deliberative process

• Goals:– Review outcomes of the Phase 1 assessment– Address any major issues regarding member expectations and 

benefits– Consider possible sustainability plans and adjustments to the 

business and operations model

• Process:– In person meeting of WEST governance groups (June 3, 2014) to 

formulate recommendations for change– Refine recommendations (Fall 2014)– Webinars to present recommendations to WEST Members and 

seek feedback– Implement changes 2015‐

Page 32: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Key recommendations for change

• Continue to strengthen the distributed nature of the archiving program and communicate benefits to members

• Manage the costs of the program with some adjustments; raise fees steadily to replace grant funding

• Continue to explore whether to expand the journal archiving program in areas most valued by members or necessary to ensure quality of archives and program

• Do not pursue new directions beyond journals

Page 33: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Adjustments to manage costs and provide continued value

• Reduce archive creation budget somewhat• Focus more on lower‐moderate overlap, print only titles

• Reduce frequency of collections analysis to every 2 years; identify enough archiving work for the full 2 years

• Investigate options to reduce the costs of records ingest for collections analysis

• Involve more libraries as Archive Holders31 January 2019 33

Page 34: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Sustainability Plan

• WEST Phase 1 and 2 (ending Sept 2016)• 50% grant funded• Transition in 2015‐2017 to a fully member supported program

• Gradually raise fees to replace grant funding• Establish a tiered member fee structure

Page 35: WEST Members Meeting€¦ · •Cycle 3 (2013/14): Archiving “complete” WEST Phase 2 (Sustainability Phase): •Cycle 4 (2013/14/15): Archivers are working on “committed”

Business Model Adjustments

• Establish a baseline annual budget of approximately $800,000. 

• Raise fees steadily in 2015‐2017 to arrive at the baseline budget and substitute grant funding. 

• Total revenue from member fees to increase approximately 44% in 2015, 44% in 2016 and 26% in 2017. Individual member fees may increase more than this as a tiered fee structure is put in place.

Business Model Adjustments

• Adjust the cost‐sharing model. Determine member fees based on a tiers that are simple, transparent, and independent of roles and responsibilities. 

• Define member fee tiers based on total library expenditures as reported to NCES. (3 year average.)
