<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">Linda,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">You’ve hit upon the largest remaining issue that confronts us in our ongoing work with the university press aggregators. We’ve reached agreement to ARL license terms and have negotiated pricing to
the maximum extent using the leverage of the ARL library community.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">The next key question that needs to be addressed is how libraries can make certain that they get all of the titles from a university press that they want, and avoid the purchase of multiple copies
(print or online) unless they are needed. When the presses are not able to put their entire title output on a single site, tracking the availability of titles from multiple locations becomes a challenge for research libraries.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">Our three ARL Licensing Initiative aggregators have been discussing this matter with us for the past 3 years. There are multiple ways of addressing the issue, and a variety of options are being actively
explored among them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">With respect to Project MUSE and YBP, as you mention below, I am aware that very recently YBP has proposed a fee-based structure as an added cost to the content fee for the MUSE collections so that
they can provide title level tracking services via GOBI. It is my understanding that YBP requires the order to be placed directly with them for these services to be available.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">The ARL/LYRASIS licenses that we have signed with the university press aggregators obligate LYRASIS to perform certain duties. The licenses therefore can only cover the orders that are placed through
LYRASIS. If you place an order with YBP, you will need to make alternative arrangements regarding the license. I will also note that as the ARL agent, LYRASIS will not be able to retrieve usage data from Project MUSE for your institution for collections purchased
through other channels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D">Per the terms of the ARL license agreements, the pricing for these offers is not confidential. The 2015 MUSE pricing is available at
<a href="http://bit.ly/2015MUSEARLPricing">http://bit.ly/2015MUSEARLPricing</a>. This pricing sets forth the content fee that LYRASIS sends to Project MUSE, and also a transparent administrative fee that covers the work LYRASIS performs on behalf of ARL to
negotiate and administer the offers. If an institution were to acquire this content directly from Project MUSE, the cost would be higher than the sum of the content fees in this pricing schedule and the LYRASIS administrative fee.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"> After haranguing our vendor YBP and Project MUSE for years, it seems as if they have settled their differences and it will now be possible to purchase entire MUSE collections through YBP. I have
told YBP I am willing to pay a “reasonable” premium for their value-added services, but before they can give me a quote, they have asked to know what we would pay for the MUSE collections through Lyrasis. I have not responded to them and of course would only
share the pricing with your permission. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"> If this is confidential, then I am thinking of sharing what we paid last year. I think as a public institution this information is not confidential; my (retired/re-employed) colleague Tim Jewell
could confirm this for me.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#1F497D"> Relative to our plans for MUSE, we are still hoping to purchase the entire 2015 collection, though I am looking at our usage stats to target which collections have been the most used by us should
our FY2016 budget projections turn gloomy. I have the March 31<sup>st</sup> deadline firmly in mind.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">For the 4<sup>th</sup> year, I am pleased to announce a special ARL Licensing Initiative Offer from Project MUSE for the UPCC eBook Collections. Details are in the attached memo and pricing spreadsheet.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">The Project MUSE/UPCC collections have gained a sizeable footprint in the marketplace now. I was glad for the opportunity to participate in two panels at the recent Charleston Conference with librarians that are delving
deeply into their use of these collections. Harvard, Emory, and Yale presented their findings to date on the usage of MUSE titles in print and electronic formats. UNC-Charlotte presented an interesting case study of their successful outreach to faculty to
select DRM-free MUSE titles as course adoption titles this fall.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This year for the first time we have been able to negotiate special offers for smaller libraries in the MUSE pricing tiers. I am glad to see more opportunities extended to other libraries, as that is one of the goals
of the ARL Licensing Initiative.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
