Summary

Spanish players at Consortia game

Activities Main agreements Steps so far Spanish scenario Challenges ahead CBUC overview CSIC Library overview

Players Different teams- the same ground

• Formal consortia (CBUC,CBUA,BUGALICIA,MADROÑO,BUCLE)• Purchase Groups (G9,CCCL)• Institutions as a consortia (CSIC)• REBIUN Spanish Universities Network• FECYT (Spanish Science Foundation)

Funds• 60/80% from autonoums governments• % from members

Permanent offices and satff vs. rolling management Mainly univerisities and scientific libraries Exists since 1996-till 2001, now more than 10 years old!

>experience Lack of a national stratetgy, no good governance within

FECYT and regional consortia

Activities Drive union catalogs metasearch+link solvers tools Licensing e-products (e-journals+e-books) Training members activities OA activities: “green way” IR Other library services: ILL,Storage facilities

Trends:• Looking for “discovery tools”• Digitization

Agreements Mantain contact-Act together

• Meet twice a year (at least)• Share information (numbers and figures).It

took so long!• Establish common goals yearly (1 or 2)• Try to speech as one “voice”

Steps so far Consortia initiatives (2010-2011):

• ELSEVIER coordinated negotiation for 3 Spanish consortia (oters follow) reduction on %increase from 5,5% to 1,5-2% (e-books links)

• Looking at: a new-extended WILEY-BLACKWELL agreement

Some Spanish consortia had huge problems with re-negotiating Wiley licenses

New Refworks extended license

• Boletin ANBAD LX 2010, núm.3 Julio/Sept 2010 Full dedicated to Spanish consortia. Each consortia has an article.

Steps so farJoint iniaitives involving both FECYT and consortia: ISI Web of Knowledge

The only Spanish national license (2004-) Fully paid by FECYT till 2009 Co-payed since 2010 Less contents (CC,Derwent Patents, less coverage…)

VAT report On behalf of Spanish library consortia: what is their fiscal “personality”?

consortia have to invoice their members (for services) both consortia and members can then ask for VAT devolution Follow up (?)

OA activities RECOLECTA harvester Working groups-closed (statistics,Q&A,Author unique ID…etc) OA Spain situation Report published by FECYT

SCOUPS national license 2011-2013 With some finacial support from 2011/2013 (7%-22%)

Spanish scenario• 2010 (2011 deals)

Government funding and salaries reduced (5% ~) Higher VAT (1618%) Euro and Pounds weaker than before Budget restrictions 5%-10% Cancelations: mainly bbdd

• 2011 (2012 deals) Less investment in Science ( -o,8/-1,7) after 14 years More cuts (10 %) “big deals” agreements should be revisited Consortia (libraries) will loose content E-journals agreements depend on e-books purchase

Challenges ahead Till when economic cuts? when we’ll recover? How to negotiate with publishers with top susbcriptions

celing reached? No space left for possible cancelation without touching

“nuclear” collections• No print to cancel then e-content should be canceled

Now is time for “Post access” cancellation clauses OA policies progress- Alhambra declaration follow up 2012 Presiential ballot

• Government- Ministry changes Uncertanity

CBUC situation 2010-2011 We approved ‘normal’ budgets in 2010 In Feb 2011 the Catalan Govern decided to

cut public budgets in a 10% This does not affect too much our licensing

ability (we only have a 14% of central money)

But, universities are financed in a 70% for the administration, and the biggest have important deficit

So, some CBUC members could not to pay ion 2011 the fees already approved

We are planning to cut a 10% (1M€) our licensing power

The actions of CBUC orderly retreat Increase the Spanish coordination between

consortia

Explain the situation to providers and ask them for a minus 5% in 2011 bills

Revise and explain to CBUC members how the big deals work

Ask members to value the products and services and put it on order (from the most loved to the less)

Try to define different levels in our digital library (what core collection could be)

Try to explain to the stakeholders how valuable big deals are for them (84% of citations of Catalan researchers came form CBUC licensed content)

And to continue working hardly

Introducing consortial borrowing

Reinforcing our repositories

Using Primo User Interface to access the licensed content

Amplifying the number of libraries that work with us
