SELL

About SELL

For the recent years, the creation of Library Consortia in all parts of the world has become an established trend. First, there were libraries in the U.S.A. that created consortia to share resources, to offer common services, to broaden access to (electronic) resources and to encounter jointly financial problems. Shortly, Northern European Countries followed their example. Library Consortia now count several years of existence. Apart from developing other services, they are especially successful in providing common access to electronic resources at very beneficiary prices through agreements made with publishers and vendors.

However, the experience gained so far show that there are great differences in the situation existing between the U.S. and Northern European Countries and the Countries of the European South. Differences refer not only to the buying power that for the South European Countries is considerably lower, but also, to different educational systems that demand special rules in the agreements with publishers and vendors.

SELL (Southern European Libraries Link) was created as an effort to bring together Libraries from Southern European Countries. The spark of its creation was a statement prepared by the Catalonian Consortium of Libraries (Spain), entitled “Why Some Libraries Pay More for Electronic Information”. This statement focused on the above mentioned differences, peculiar to Southern Countries, and the need for a special charging policy from the part of publishers and vendors.

Libraries in Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and other countries of the same area of Europe have a lot in common:

  • They all have very old languages that have been very important in various times in history and are feeling very strongly about their languages. English, although is quite widespread in these countries, it can not be compared with the use of English in other countries of Europe like the Netherlands, or Denmark, or other non English-speaking countries. This fact creates a lot of problems in all efforts to negotiate with producers of bibliographic databases.
  • In negotiations, most of the publishers and vendors charge by student FTE which is inapplicable in the case of these countries where educational systems usually allow a great number of inactive students who are registered in their Universities but are not actually attending courses.
  • According to official economic data, Southern European Countries have a much lower GDP comparing to the one of the countries of Northern Europe. Therefore, their buying power is considerably lower and on the other hand, their educational and research needs are almost at the same level.

The main goal of SELL is to address these matters to its member Libraries, to promote the special requirements of its members to information aggregators, to draw common policies towards information acquirement and provision and also, to support other fields of collaboration.

The following represents the action decisions made at our first SELL meeting.

Decisions

  • The Statement document will be considered by all and comments sent to Nuria who will then revise and send to Claudine for posting on SELL web site; consortia will then endorse in principle as they choose
  • Claudine will arrange to have a SELL web site constructed
  • Malta, France and Turkey will be invited to the next SELL meeting
  • SELL meetings will be held twice a year; once at European ICOLC (a dinner meeting) and a full one day meeting in a member country in May a. Next meeting will be in Barcelona in May; Nuria will arrange and establish a date
  • Tommaso will gather information on the VAT for electronic materials and circulate to SELL members; ultimately it may be sent to the appropriate EU authorities
  • Future issues:
  • Development of portals
  • Preservation/encouragement of locally produced academic products (e.g. journals in national languages) that do not have wide international markets
  • Developing a possible SELL contract for netLibrary e-books; Nuria will take the lead in exploring the possibilities of a SELL contract i. (Note: netLibrary has recently run out of money, is near bankruptcy and has put itself up for sale)
  • Developing a solution for permanent archiving of e-materials
  • Elsevier bookkeeping and billing competence needs to be improved
  • Elsevier title change problems need to be addressed
  • The issue of cover to cover content in e-journals
  • The issue of missing content (issues) in e-journals
  • The issue of the price model being based on use (more you use the more you pay is a problem)
  • Contract should specify that litigation takes place in the country of the purchaser

The following represents the action decisions made at our 2nd SELL meeting.Minutes

  • Anglada statement: Last year’s SELL decision to endorse CBUC’s statement “Why Some Libraries and Consortia Are Paying too Much for E-Information” was reaffirmed and it will be mounted on the SELL website. The official version will be provided in English along with the SELL consortial endorsements as they are received by Dervos. (Please send endorsements to Claudine at: dervou@ physics.auth.gr) Translations of the statement into each SELL native language will also be mounted. (These too should be sent to Claudine)
  • VAT: The discussion of VAT on electronic products was actively discussed. The group decided to pursue three initiatives regarding VAT:
    • Statement: Dervos and Gargiulo agreed to draft a statement on behalf of SELL generally addressing the following issues: VAT on academic electronic products should not be more than on academic print materials (for most SELL counties VAT on electronic products is 4-5 times that on print products); academic electronic products are substantially different from entertainment electronic products; an attempt should be made to harmonize the SELL statement with the VAT statement of the Frankfurt group to increase impact. A draft will be sent to SELL delegates for their review and comment; any “no response” by the indicated deadline will be treated as agreement.
    • Liaison with Publishers: There was a general feeling that academic publishers would make good allies in bringing the VAT on electronic products into line with that on print products. The statement will be framed to remain open to this possibility and SELL members will generally explore this possibility as opportunity allows.
    • Lobbying/Political Action: There was a general feeling that SELL should not confine itself to only a statement, but also explore routes to possible action. Karasozen will investigate involvement of faculty, particularly math and science faculty; Santos will explore action at the ministry level; and all SELL members will, as opportunity allows, seek to identify their country EU representatives and bring the statement to their attention once it is drafted and agreed upon.
  • EU Copyright Directive: Marandola alerted the SELL delegates to the upcoming country ratification of the EU copyright law. He pointed out that the critical issue was the list of 9 exceptions which provided important modifications to the law for such institutions as libraries and schools. These important exceptions are not automatically included in the copyright law being ratified in each country so consortia will want to check on the status of these exceptions for their individual countries. Marco will send out an email to the SELL members with the basic EU copyright directive (or the link to the directive) and has agreed to serve as informal consultant to any SELL delegate who have questions concerning the directive.
  • Southern European Academic Content: There was general interest and discussion of how to make southern European academic materials, e.g. nationally published journals, theses and dissertations in national languages, more widely available. Anglada provided a demonstration of Spain’s involvement in the NLDTD (www.tdcat.cbuc.es) project and encouraged other consortia to consider participation. Dervos raised the idea of providing the associated metadata in English to facilitate cross language searching. Providing wider access to nationally produced journals is more complicated but will remain a SELL topic of future interest and discussion.
  • Oxford Reference Online (Oxford U. Press): Dervos made a presentation of the ORO product in place of Susan Lob who encountered travel difficulties and could not attend the SELL meeting. Claudine pointed out that ORO is a good general product with wide international appeal, including a wide range of content and language databases. She will distribute a password which SELL delegates (only) may use in June to investigate the ORO product. If a specific consortium is interested in wider review and investigation, the SELL delegate should contact Claudine and she will make the necessary arrangements. Delegates generally felt that this broader local review would probably make more sense after students and faculty return to school in the fall.
    The licensing arrangement would include unlimited access and its cost would be price sensitive, i.e. the bigger the contracting group the better the deal price-wise. The group agreed that Claudine would be the single negotiator with the active advice of a SELL advisory committee. This would consist of: Azucena, Karasozen, Gargiulo, Alvarez, and Lemos.
    Since no real multi-national deals have yet been done, there was some feeling that if an attractive deal could be put on the table, it would be very nice for SELL to be the first to announce a multi-national deal.
  • Math/Sci Net: Karasozen brought to the group’s attention that Math/Sci Net might also be a product of general interest. He agreed to be the single negotiator for this product and will have the same advisory committee as Claudine.
  • eICOLC Report: Dervos reviewed the agenda for the upcoming eICOLC meeting in Thessalonica, October 3-5 and encouraged all SELL delegates to attend. Since many SELL delegates will likely attend, there are plans to once again have an informal SELL meeting at the conference, perhaps a lunch or dinner. Further information will be sent out as conference plans are finalized.
  • Next SELL Meeting: Karasozen invited SELL delegates to hold their next meeting in Ankara, Turkey. The invitation was universally and enthusiastically accepted. The meeting will be held on June 8 (Sunday) with an invitation to a tour of Cappadocia on the preceding day (Saturday) for those SELL delegates so interested. The sense of the group was that for the present, membership would be limited to the countries represented at Barcelona. More information will be forthcoming; check the SELL website.
    The meeting adjourned at 5:30pm with general complements to Lluis and Nuria for arranging a well-organized and productive meeting in a truly beautiful location.

The following outlines the discussions held during the 3rd SELL meeting.

Minutes

      • Country reports were presented by participants at the beginning of the meeting.
      • MathSciNet Consortium for SELL Countries: There was a general feeling that consortial pricing should be according to mathematical activity. There is no competitor for MSN. Countries could cooperate in negotiating with MSN. Each participant is going to talk with his/her own university and consortiumabout joining a SELL MSN consortium. There is an MSN consortium in Italy, and Paola suggested that we negotiate for the same conditions for all SELL members but not try to make a single contract. We should think about trying to get some support from the EU for a SELL MSN consortium.
      • ALPSP: The ALPSP Learned Journals Collection was presented by Sitki Aktas of Swets Blackwell. The ALPSP, The Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (www.alpsp.org), that represents not-for-profit publishers, has several hundred members. These are small publishers with few titles, who are not included in the “Big Deals”, and especially those publishing in languages other than English. The Association runs seminars and training programmes for members. It tries to minimise the squeeze factor by creating a cross-publisher collection among ALPSP members and making content available through a single channel. Swets Blackwell signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ALPSP in April. The role of Swets Blackwell is to develop the collection by signing up publishers, representing participating publishers in negotiating sales to consortia and libraries. Also, Swets Blackwell will collect fees and process orders from clients. It’s like a one-stop shop for both ALPSP and libraries. Swets Blackwell’s agreement with ALPSP is for three years. Swets Blackwell’s intention is to have a final list of publishers participating and their titles by 31 July 2003. Depending on levels of participation, two subject packages, Medical and Life Sciences and Science and Technology, are contemplated. Their aim is to present the packages and pricing at this year’s ICOLC and E-ICOLC meetings. There was a general feeling that the ALPSP deal will be very useful for libraries since it is difficult for libraries to handle large numbers of individual subscriptions.
      • Decisions and Next SELL Meeting: There was general interest in the question of how to put all databases and institutions on the SELL web site. It was thought that we should prepare a matrix that shows them. We should also prepare a report about activities of the members and differences between them. A decision needs to be made on the structure for such a report, and it was suggested that Tommaso Giordano from Italy be requested to write an article about SELL activities. The next SELL meeting will be held in Italy. More information will be forthcoming so members are requested to check the SELL website.

The following outlines the discussions held during the 4th SELL meeting.

Minutes

      • The meeting began, as usual, with country reports of consortial developments. Overall, consortia in the southern European Mediterranean area continue to progress and are undertaking a wide range of new initiatives. Particular issues mentioned, include:
        1. Frustration in dealing with Elsevier’s attempts at imposing new charges on consortia during renewal contract negotiations (Greece)
        2. Difficulty in adopting DSpace software to respond to Spanish diacritics (Spain)
        3. Continuing concerns with VAT and its strong negative impact on consortial ability to move to all digital resources (all countries)
        4. Complications in coordinating regional consortia to move toward a national agenda such as national contract negotiations and negotiating principles (Italy, Spain)
        5. Attempts to develop national repositories for national language materials (Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey)
      • Discussion of Open Access: Karasozen made an informative and balanced presentation on the subject and a lively discussion ensued. Basically, Karasozen reported that there is a lot of experimentation going on in terms of business and distribution models but that so far no clear and convincing model has yet emerged. As a related supplemental report, Kohl reported that at the spring ICOLC 2004, the American Physical Society announced that they had decided to pass on the cost savings to libraries of a favorable printing contract in the form of a 5% reduction in subscription prices, that the American Medical Association announced that they would be experimenting with making their lead journal, the Journal of the American Medical Society, into an open access journal, and that BioOne (a SPARC initiative of biological society journals) announced that they would reluctantly be imposing a 9% increase in subscription costs this year.A spirited and lengthy discussion ensued with, among other, the following points emerging:
        1. commercial publishers need competition to keep their prices in line
        2. individual faculty and scholarly societies are only providing ambivalent and uncertain support for OA and in some cases are actively on record as opposing it
        3. an interesting group of tools is emerging which support OA, including DSpace and Google searches of the deep web (academic repository holdings)
        4. concern about library/university ability and commitment to manage support of scholarly communication in a cost effective and long term manner
        5. different academic disciplines have different needs and concerns for scholarly communication and its mechanisms
        6. the OA business models should be so designed as to not exclude developing countries from submitting research

        There was general agreement that OA developments should continue to be monitored by all present.

      • Open discussion: Due to the shortness of time, a number of the agenda items were telescoped into the OA discussion.
      • Fall ICOLC: Anglada reported on preparations and the agenda for the Barcelona ICOLC this fall. General comments and observations were made, but in general, things seemed well in hand. The registration web site is now up and ready for business.
      • Elsevier Presentation: The Elsevier representative (Luca Carpi de Resmini) presented the new pricing model and comments on Open Access. Vigorous discussion followed. Great concerns were expressed about new charges, particularly those for perpetual access if a contract were discontinued as well as those proposed charges for titles which consortial members had not traditionally subscribed to in the past. Concern was also expressed about what appeared to be arbitrary banding of universities by size. The responses by the representative were not considered satisfactory. The presentation of OA issues (as viewed by Elsevier) was likewise considered unsatisfactory and not particularly enlightening or helpful.
      • Concluding discussion: A number of action items were agreed on:
        1. All country reports would be sent to Dervou for mounting on the SELL website
        2. The site of the next SELL meeting will be determined by Fernandes and Dervou and announced to the group in a month or two. Portugal will host the next meeting if, after internal discussion, they feel they are ready to do so, otherwise the next SELL meeting will he held in Greece
        3. A letter of concern about the new Elsevier pricing model will be drafted by Karasozen and reviewed by Dervou, after which it will be submitted to the group for their consideration and comments. Upon general approval it will be sent to the appropriate Elsevier representatives.
        4. The group will experiment with an occasional newsletter to allow SELL members and their libraries to keep up to date on useful developments of consortial interest between meetings. News items, information on useful resources, publications, etc…should be sent to Dervou who will organize them and distribute them as an e-newsletter to SELL members.
        5. The group approved the idea of experimenting with an annual SELL workshop on issues of importance to the group. It will draw on SELL members (as well as outside experts) for presentations and expertise. There will also be an attempt to have publishers and vendors provide scholarships for as many of the attendees as possible. If so desired, it may be possible and useful to repeat successful workshops as well in specific countries as the most cost-effective way to make useful information and skills available beyond the annual presentation of the workshop. Dervou will undertake to arrange the first such SELL workshop for spring, 2005 and will call upon SELL members for help with presentations as necessary.

The following outlines the discussions held during the 5th SELL meeting.
Minutes

      • Country reports were presented and will be mounted on the SELL website
      • ICOLC report
        Fernandes, Moreira and Kohl gave a brief report on key ICOLC issues. There was difficulty in remembering the report from Japan on the size and extent of their consortial deals. Checking the records that information is as follows: Japan does national deals which presently total $300 million (to foreign publishers alone) and involve some 1,000 colleges and universities, including some 200 research universities. For this amount of money they receive the equivalent of between 100,000-350,000 journals (counting electronic duplicates).
      • E-books
        • Paola raised the question of e-book use and usability in SELL consortia
        • There seemed to be some use in Italy and Portugal of medical texts; a small experiment in Greece seemed to indicate little use of e-books
        • Spain has contracts with 4 publishers (about 4,000 books) but thinks that the problem with low e-book use is the financial model, but that their usage is still worth it
        • There seems to be a problem with not enough e-books in translations (particularly in languages spoken by few people, e.g. Greece, Portugal with a small potential market)
        • The popularity of e-books may improve when they are more searchable
        • Most e-books presently have to be used while connected to a library site; little use of downloading is made or even available
      • Administrivia
        Paola talked about what CIBER is doing to have better communication between the consortia and the libraries; mostly online site which librarians go to; plans for a newsletter and ultimately a plan to push digital material to members.
        The CIBER site allows member libraries to update IP ranges, find out about contracted publisher holdings, potential costs of new resources, threaded discussion of topics, automated deadline prompts, etc.
      • Institutional Repositories/Open Access
        • Spirited discussion of the role of librarians in this still developing but important area
        • General sentiments were expressed about the importance of providing a library mechanism for publication of scholarly research (articles, theses/dissertations, etc…),i.e. digital repositories
        • General sentiments were also expressed that digital repositories need to be more than publishers of faculty articles, e.g. support of digital resources for teaching, for research, digitization of local collections, etc…; areas where librarians have more possibility for control than the scholarly publishing environment
        • Italy made a brief presentation of PLEIADI as an example of a digital repository (“a portal solution to scholarly literature”) (this presentation will be mounted on SELL website)
      • Content Complete presentation by Paul Harwood
        A most interesting presentation was made. Contents Complete clearly represents a useful option for smaller consortia with no professional staff to undertake the complex and time consuming operation of negotiating contracts. The presentation will be mounted on the SELL website
      • Misc
        • Adding Israel to the consortium
        • The issue was discussed in some depth but ultimately the consensus was to hold off on inviting them to join SELL. Instead, Italy will partner with them on specific projects.
        • Petition regarding cartel concerns to Brussels
        • This issue was discussed and it was felt to be premature at this time.
        • Encouragement for Italy to volunteer for ICOLC in 2006
        • Italy will take this under consideration.
        • Increasing SELL meeting to a day and a halfThere was considerable discussion of this topic as time was running out and various individuals began to leave. There was strong consensus that it would be a good idea but equal concern that it should not require more time away from the office than present. Since most of the people have to come in the day before anyway, there was some thought that the country reports could be handled in a brief afternoon or evening meeting the day before the full day session.
        • Scheduling the next SELL meeting (Greece) on an island
          Claudine said she would investigate possibilities
        • Paola will draft a statement on usage based pricing scheme which some publishers are proposing. The statement will cover Sell’s critical stand on the issue: usage based pricing does not facilitate the maximum circulation of information that is a main goal of library consortia, furthermore it is difficult to handle within a consortia.Usage based data is a useful parameter for consortia when taking decisions, usage based pricing is not acceptable as a contract model. It seemed to me that we agreed on it when were in Lisbon. I will work on the draft in the next few weeks.
      • Adjournment for dinner hosted by Paul Harwood
        A wonderful and colorful dinner in a local restaurant was arranged; many follow-up discussions were conducted among members; and a good time was had by all. Our deepest thanks to our host Paul Harwood and Contents Complete.

Agenda

Monday, September 20th

15h00-15h15 – Welcome

15h10-15h45 – Speaker: Hannah Wang

  • Preservation, archive and dissemination for academic libraries. MetaArchive Cooperative: Sustainable digital preservation through community collaboration

    Hannah Wang works at the Educopia Institute as the Community Facilitator for the MetaArchive Cooperative and the Project Manager for the BitCuratorEdu Project. Prior to joining Educopia, she was the Electronic Records & Digital Preservation Archivist at the Wisconsin Historical Society, where she managed the acquisition of state electronic records, coordinated born-digital processing workflows, and developed the digital preservation program. Hannah has also taught graduate-level courses as an Associate Lecturer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison iSchool. She received her MSIS from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

15h45-16h15 – Speaker: Grégory Colcanap (https://www.istex.fr/)

  • Integrating preservation and access in ‘national license’ to digital contents.

    ISTEX: initiative preservation, preservation yes, but not only, exploiting archives, and open access.

16h15-16h45 – Speaker: Joana Novais Gestora, Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online, b-on Manager, Online Knowledge Library, b-on.

  • Preservation efforts both in the repositories and national journals domains.

16h45-17h15 – Speaker: Lluis Anglada

  • United States experience: exportability to Europe? (introduction): Q&A, debate about conditions

17h15 – Country reports 1/2

  • We suggest that country reports should arrive in advance. So the little time (in relation to a face-to-face meeting) can be devoted to exchanges, after very short introductions of the main topic.

Thursday, September 21th

15h00-16h00 – Speakers: Thomas Porquet, Couperin and Patrick Peiffer consortium.lu

  • ReadMetrics, a comprehensive and productive usage statistics toolkit.

    Abstract: ReadMetrics is aiming to be both a complete COUNTER 5 toolkit, as well as a mature tool to extract super fine statistics (individual articles) based on Proxy log files. ReadMetrics is designed for a consortial setting (as already used in France by Couperin.org consortium members and Luxemburg consortium) as well as individual libraries. All use cases include data management and visualisations based on the Elastic indexing engine with Kibana dashboards. We will present various dashboards showing the type of data and visualizations made possible by such a tool.
    More on http://readmetrics.org

16h00-16h30 – Speaker: Joana Novais, Manager, Online Knowledge Library. Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online, b-on

  • Introduction: the challenges and results of b-on’s recent negotiations for the next 3-year term.

16h30-17h00 – Debate: 

We ask members to prepare responses to the following questions:

  • Policy and vision: do you have an explicit document, or an implicit policy?
  • Are they consortia agreements or national agreements?
  • Constant prices or increase? (budget neutrality)
  • Steering and workflow
  • Evaluation (positive, negative, neutral) corrections to be made in the future

17h00-17h30 – Debate:

Speakers: Grégory Colcanap & Christine Weil-Miko Couperin 

We ask members to prepare responses to the following question:

  • Policy and vision: do you have an explicit document, or an implicit policy?

17h30-17h50 – Country reports 2/2
