Celeste From: lyrarl-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org [mailto:lyrarl-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org] On Behalf Of Celeste Feather Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 10:42 AM To: LYRASIS ARL Collection Development Contacts Subject: [Lyrarl] Oxford's University Press Scholarship Online Offer for 2014 Following on the first offer from OUP last year for University Press Scholarship Online (UPSO), we have developed a second offer through the ARL Licensing Initiative for 2014. I am pleased that the 2014 offer includes better discounts that can be reached much more quickly based on lower numbers of participating libraries than last year. For example, for the 2014 uploads of content (most but not all titles have 2014 publication dates), the discount structure off list price is as follows. Pricing is also available for the content in 2011-2013 collections. 2014 Uploads (Pick Your Press or Pick your Subject) # of Participant Libraries Up to 20 21-30 31-50 51+ Discount 25% 35% 40% 45% Full 2014 Uploads (all presses, all subjects) # of Participant Libraries Up to 20 21-30 31-50 51+ Discount 30% 40% 45% 50% Any library that places any order is counted as a participant, no matter what collection is purchased. Last year 15 libraries participated in the UPSO offer, and all are guaranteed at least the same level of discount they received last year since that is now the starting discount for 2014. If at least 6 more libraries participate, all will get better discounts than were available last year. The 2014 offer is based on the number of libraries that purchase collections by February 28, 2014. I've attached a detailed explanatory memo that discusses many aspects of the offer and addresses concerns about potential overlap with Project MUSE collections since there are now a handful of publishers with content at both MUSE and UPSO. The pricing spreadsheet also is attached. Pricing is based on FTE tiers, and collections are available by subject, publisher, and year. Oxford is scheduling two webinar sessions to provide more information about UPSO and their work with publishers to host their scholarly ebooks. I will share the registration details for these sessions as soon as I have them. As always, I will be glad to answer any questions.

This year we have a March 1, 2014 deadline for many of the special offers, and an extended opportunity through October 1, 2014 for libraries to purchase the entire collection of MUSE ebooks at around $9.00 per title or "top-off" their former purchase of MUSE ebooks if they acquired all of the MUSE ebook content through 2013. MUSE will continue to work with us on a custom quote basis for libraries that have made selective purchases in the past and now want to upgrade to the entire ebook collection at MUSE as of 2014. Please let me know if you are interested in a custom quote. The summary memo attached provides many details. Pricing is in the attached spreadsheet and also available at http://bit.ly/16ysxhb. As always, I will be glad to respond to your questions and comments.

More participants are still needed so that KU can show even stronger support from the library community as it advances this new open access ebook model with publishers. As more libraries join the KU pilot, the cost for all participants will be lowered from the original amount of $1,680. Of the 28 ebook titles included in the pilot collection, 20 are published by university presses. Personally, I am enthused by the strong show of global support for this pilot project from libraries in 18 countries on 5 continents so far, and am encouraged by this development in our collective work to evolve the scholarly communication system. Celeste From: lyrarl-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org [mailto:lyrarl-bounces at lyralists.lyrasis.org] On Behalf Of Celeste Feather Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 12:26 PM To: LYRASIS ARL Collection Development Contacts Subject: [Lyrarl] Update re Knowledge Unlatched open access ebook initiative I want to share briefly with you the latest news from Knowledge Unlatched, the global open access scholarly ebook initiative. 36 ARL member libraries have pledged support to date, and KU continues to gather substantial support from the global library community and related organizations. Notable events in recent weeks include new arrangements with Portico, CLOCKSS, and the HathiTrust. The list of supporting libraries is newly available on the KU web site. The pledging period has been extended to February 28. Support from organizations like Portico and HathiTrust along with the growing global support from pledging libraries makes this an exciting project to watch. Over half of the ebook content in the pilot project collection comes from university presses. If successful, KU may develop a complementary business model for university press ebooks that will be appropriate for types of content now available only through traditional models. >From Knowledge Unlatched: Supporters now include libraries from 11 countries on 4 continents Supporters who have signed up to KU include a broad range of libraries and institutions such as: large research libraries, liberal arts schools, small specialized libraries, and a college prep school. Half of participating institutions are from outside North America. To see who has joined, click here. New Preservation Arrangements In addition to OAPEN and Hathi Trust hosting and preserving KU titles, arrangements have now been made with both Portico and CLOCKSS. Webinar You're invited to join a webinar at 10am EST on Thursday February 6. You may sign up at this site: http://bit.ly/1akZm2U. This will be recorded and available at www.knowledgeunlatched.org for later viewing. Infographic If you want to a share a quick overview, click here. If you need more time The pledging period is extended to February 28, 2014. I'll be glad to address any questions. LYRASIS is the North American administrative agent for KU, so we are working closely with them.
