10:15 Discussion Session

A call for agenda items elicited several suggestions for discussion with few takers to lead sessions. Topics that were raised included:

After a decade in which many institutions have addressed financial hardships, some institutions continue feeling very pinched by the annual increases they experience with many subscriptions. In light of the continued tightening of budgets, there are many questions to examine. Does the database model for purchases make sense going forward? If not, what are the alternatives, and have they been financially beneficial to those institutions that have moved away from them? What constitutes adequate justification for a “financial out” on licenses, and once the crisis passes, have publishers been helpful in re-establishing relationships with past customers?

>Have institutions begun figuring out how they can bring together locally held primary source content and licensed primary source content in ways that are most beneficial to students and scholars?

What is the impact of ProQuest’s purchase of ExLibris? What do we perceive the impact to be in the next several years?

What has been the local impact/discussion around the recent editorial board resignation from Elsevier’s title Lingua?

Are there examples of active, effective shared print collaborations, and how are they changing how individual institutions manage their print collections?
