SUNY Brockport was pleasantly surprised by their lower than expected copyright clearance costs in 2009. They had historically seen rising costs each year from 2006 to 2008. However, in 2009 their costs decreased significantly to $1,568.52 due to acquiring trial subscriptions to Taylor and Francis and Sage databases, which provided access to many articles and saved money on copyright fees. The document discusses SUNY Brockport analyzing their copyright clearance data to understand trends in article requests by department to best meet patron needs.

Good afternoon, my name is Kim Myers and I am the manager of Interlibrary Loan Services at the College at Brockport. You may wonder why someone from ILL is speaking at SerialSIG+. Serials and ILL have collaborated closely for the last few years. Today, I’m want to share with you some surprising results we found on our Copyright Clearance bill this year.
Before I talk about copyright, I just want to be sure we are allOn the same page. Does everyone know about the Rule of 5?Greg?
Well, yes there is that Rule of 5 (secs), butHere we are going to talk about the Rule of 5 for Copyright.
We do our copyright report every April for charges accumulated the previous calendar year. So when I talk about 2009, I am talking about the report I just finished in Apr 2010, that covered 2009.
Our historical data shows that over the course of 3 yrs, our copyright bill went from just under $2K to just over $4K.What would it be this year? An informal poll of some library staff brought estimates of $3500 - $6000. So imagine our surprise when…..
That got me thinking, and here is one answer I came up with.
Susan Perry will share more of that information with you.
We spent $1163 on the 2009 CCC bill on these titles.
We spent $321 on these titles on the 2009 CCC bill.
Our patrons get information that want at their fingertips, and the library saves money!
This just shows what percentage of the copyright bill is attributableTo any specific department. Some departments have dropped off the Radar all together (Communication, Chemistry, CJ, Counselor Ed). Are weMeeting more of their needs with the resources we already have ? Do the onesWhose usage went up from 2008 to 2009 represent an area of weakness in ourDatabases that we should try to address?
In closing, I would like to ask - Does anyone else look at this type of data in their library?
