- 12. Agenda Lifecycle of an e-book Review issues related to purchasing and delivery Touch on issues related to managing e-books
- 13. NOT on the Agenda End-user experiences Technical issues of e-book readers Free ebooks (Google, Hathi Trust) E-textbooks, e-books created with readers’ feedback, etc.
- 14. Print Lifecycle
- 15. Ebook Lifecycle
- 16. Ebook Lifecycle
- 17. Good News: Eliminate print considerations Processing Unpacking Labeling Shelving/reshelving Circulation Handling lost, stolen or damaged claims Managing holds, late notices, ILL Special requests (loaning reference books) Storage and space needs
- 18. Bad News: Add e-book considerations Licensing Management Activate with provider Add to management tools, Open URL products, proxy and webpages Download to a device/install software Troubleshoot access problems Gather, consolidate and report usage statistics Keeping up with platform/publisher changes Archive/preservation
- 19. Purchase Impacts Delivery and Delivery Impacts Purchase Platform Publisher User level Bundle options Devices, usability Pricing options Funding options Content Vendor options Licensing Discovery, findability
- 20. Platforms by Business Model* Big Managed Collections Dedicated Viewers Publisher- centric Impelsys *From “ Business issues and trends in the digital book landscape” 08/09 Anne Orens, updated 1/2010 User Augmented DASH!
- 21. Platform, publisher Do you have the platform already? Do you want to limit the number of platforms? Is a new license required? Do you have to purchase separate software? Release dates? Do you have the platform already? Multiple platforms to learn/understand Getting software on library and private computers
- 22. Content MRW or monograph? Database of ebooks or database of chapters? Content may dictate how managed Where do you promote it? Only in catalog or also in database list? Citation problems Do you use separate tools for discovery based on content?
- 23. Pricing, funding, user level, bundling Release dates? Archives available? Up-front cost and/or ongoing fee? Serial fund or book fund? Simultaneous number of users? Release dates? Turnaways from maximum users? Do you manage as single title ebook or as a database or both?
- 24. Vendor Direct, consortial, or 3 rd party vendor? One-at-a-time purchase? Effects licensing.
- 25. Licensing Are there any unusual terms? Is a new license required? Do you know exactly what you are purchasing or leasing? What ifs? Are we required to make terms public? Are you allowed to run through authentication? Limits to printing/downloading? ILL restrictions? Do you have to restrict walk-ins?
- 26. Discovery, findability Free MARC records Are they any good? Do you catalog ebooks in aggregated databases Manage in multiple places Do you catalog each title? Do you manage each title in ERMS or separate database tool Does publisher work with discovery layer Have you created/purchased a new tool for finding content with ebooks across platforms? Catalog ebook titles in aggregated databases OPAC scoping, locations
- 27. Device, usability Device agnostic? New procedure required for purchasing content for a device? Is extra software required for purchase? Limits to printing/downloading Is it device agnostic? Are your in-library computers set up to transfer media or are they locked down? Is extra software required? Is everything downloadable or only certain titles? Is registration required outside of regular authentication
- 28. Collection Development Impact Selection decisions Duplicate copies Weeding Preferences/impressions Virtual content requires new methods of tracking
- 29. Management Issues Once the item is acquired, who holds the truth for what we are entitled to? Tracking at title level Archiving Weeding Usage statistics Standards
- 30. Still More Management Issues Syncing up silos OPAC (cataloging, links) Integrating e-books into our existing tools and workflows Human resources Plans for format extinction/evolution?
- 31. Is it a wash? Eliminate for print Unpacking Labeling Shelving/reshelving Handling lost, stolen, damaged Managing holds, notices ILL Special requests Storage and space Add for E-world Activate Add to proxy Add to tools; OpenURL Add to webpages Download to a device/install software Resolve access issues Gather usage statistics Archive/preservation
