Editor's Notes
- Currently it is all very confusing, Librarians reported in their focus groups that they spend an a long time trying to figure out what the hell they are being offered. 2. Licensing - the sheer volume of work that goes into licensing an e-book or a collection of e-books is amazing. The pricing structures, the terms and conditions, does it include MARC records, what can we do with the e-book etc.....this is time and money consuming. JISC Collections would like to work with everyone to develop the licensing and pricing and make is transparent and simple. When you buy a book you know what you get and what you can do. Lets make the e-book the same. Simple! HOLISTIC view, testing different subject areas. Real life environemnt Get feedback from libraries about the ease of implementation, and perceived value for money in view of usage and feedback. Seek to analyse the impact of access via the library on publishers’ print sales, as well as review revenue overall as it could be the case that, taken together, revenue from print sales plus income from library provision of the e-version proves to be at least equal to previous revenue from print alone.
- Librarians want consistency The more complex and different each licence is, the more difficult it is for librarians to manage and disseminate the terms and conditions of use The JISC model licence is accepted and understood by libraries develop – encourage the change to DRM settings to allow unlimited concurrent use and to take account of the peaks, how students actually use the e-books, future proofing for new trends etc….
