Learned to date-
Selection pool of 705 titles (discovery records)397 unique titles had been usedOf those, 143 titles had been purchased by the
BLCTotal SUPO list price of books purchased via pilot
(includes multiple copies) = $114,413Funds spent by BLC for those books = $58,963 Data as of March 14, 2013
Next steps-
Continue the project as Phase 2Call for participants from BLC sent out May 7Hope is that 7 charter institutions will continue
to participate and that at least 2-3 new participants will join the fun!
On the content side, we have asked ebrary to explore expanding our publisher partner list, maybe 2-3 more publishers to add more diverse content to the selection pool
Phase 2 to begin July 1, 2013Continue to gather data – analyze to tease out
best practice for a shared ebook pricing model
Equitable pricing model
Everybody wins – BLC, ebrary, YBP, OCLC, publishers and most
important – our users
