Challenges 19. Summary
- A bit of history and library cooperation in Spain
- CBUC: evolution and operation
- Access to documents (union catalogue, ILL and storage)
20. Access

-
- + preservation, massive storage facility
21. CCUC: 31.12.07
- 3.327.186 bibliographic records
-
- Nearly 7.000.000 documents
- 76 participant institutions
22. CCUC: growth(bibliographic records) 23. CCUC: copy

Summary 40. 41. Biblioteca Digital de Catalunya
- 8.800 / 11.300 e- journals
-
- 25% coming from administration
-
- Research documents: + 4.000, 17 institutions
Toll access Formula to share costs 42. BDC growth 43. Something
forbidden but that everybody wants ... What is it? Quiz 1 Big Deals
44. Big Deal criticisms
- It causes price increases
- You buy what you dont want
- Its a librarians trick to go against OA
45. Critics to Big Deals
- Unused information is purchased
- Agreements cannot be reached
- Encourages publishers concentration (in few commercial
publishing companies)
- No room for smaller publishers
46. 47. 48. Why does everybody want it?
-
- access to the whole publishers e-journals collection has
created very complete information environments
-
- its been achieved at an affordable cost and, sometimes, with
new money
-
- non previously subscribed e-journals are used, when
accessible
-
- interdisciplinary landscape of sciences makes it necessary
49. Benefits
- More usages (also for non previous subscribed journals)
- More money from administration
- A lot of users satisfaction
- Equity in access between big and small libraries
50. Difficulties
- All x All, vs. Some x Some
51. The challenge: expanding Big Deals
- Now only universities and BC
- But other institutions need them also:
-
- Public administration services
- And others will ask in the future, like:
-
-
- School libraries (teachers)
52. Institutional repositories (cooperative)
-
- Collective decisions = protection against errors
-
- Consolidation and prestige
-
-
- + documents+ accesses+ visibility
-
- Once processes have been set up, time can be invested in
submitting more documents
