Writing Our Own Obituary
Library Professionals Themselves See Abrupt End to Traditional Models
“A community of Associate
University Librarians and Associate
Library Deans challenging the
traditional boundaries in libraries”
By 2015...
Patrons Go Elsewhere
for Information
“Our users will meet more than
90% of their information needs
from sources that are not directly
connected to the library.”
No Need for
Traditional Librarians
“Successful libraries will be those
that have managed to turn over
the majority of their staff or
reassigned staff to different
roles within the library.”
A Space for More
Than Just Books
“Most library space will be
taken over by functions that
have nothing to do with
library collections or services.”

mits of the Ownership Model
“Given these potent trends, the
Harvard libraries can no longer harbor
delusions of being a completely
comprehensive collection, but instead
must develop their holdings more
strategically. To do so, Harvard will
need to embrace a model that ensures
access to—not necessarily ownership
of—scholarly materials needed by
faculty, students, and other library
users, now and in the future.”

Size Doesn’t Matter
Librarians Struggling to Define Appropriate Performance Metrics
Traditional Metrics Measure
Inputs and Size
• Number of volumes held
• Number of current serial titles
• Total expenditures
• Gate count
• Reference requests
• Presentations
New Proving Ground
“Community college college and university
librarians no longer can rely on their
stakeholders’ belief in their importance.
Rather, they must demonstrate their value.”
Megan Oakleaf
“Value of Academic Libraries”
Evolving Metrics Aligned With
Value, but Hard to Quantify
• Impact on student enrollment, retention and
graduation rates
• Impact on student learning
• Contribution to faculty research productivity
• Impact on faculty grant proposals and funding
• Support of faculty teaching
Accreditors Can Pull in Both Directions
• Some libraries pressured to answer
to new, “value-centric” standards
• Others limited by collection and
staff size requirements
• Rapidly changing; depends on
agency and individual teams

Are Rising Journal Costs Justified?
Librarians and Publishers Increasingly at Odds
Librarians Bemoan
Predatory Pricing
• Prices outpacing inflation
• Bundled deals limit ability to cancel titles
• Risk losing access to back catalog
• Publisher owns copyright
• Costs would be lower in a non-profit model
• “Our faculty did the research, why should we
have to pay so much to access their work?”
Prescription:
Support open access journals
Publishers Point to Explosion
in Scholarly Output
• Research output has increased significantly
• Cost per download has actually gone down
• Bundles give institutions wider access at a discount
• Transition to e-journals required massive
investment in new infrastructure
• “We are willing to try open access models as long
as we can continue to cover our costs.”
Prescription:
Find new sources of funding

A Devil’s Bargain?
“The prospect of mounting a book-
digitization project at the scale of
Google’s never seemed within the
capabilities of research libraries until an
outside partner with seemingly limitless
resources emerged. But this outside
partner has often seemed more
focused on its commercial interests
than on meeting scholarly needs.”

when the information or book a user wanted was not simply a click away.”

From Ownership to Access
Reducing Collections While Expanding Access to Books
Current State Preferred End-State
• Large collections of physical books • Ebook catalogs larger than previousBooks
in open stacks with low circulation
• Duplicate book holdings at the
institutional, system, consortial and
regional level
• Books purchased prospectively “just
in case” a patron might need them
in the future
Barriers to Change
physical collection
• Physical books preserved (and accessible)
through collections shared across
consortia and stored offsite
• Ebooks purchased only when patrons
use them (patron-driven acquisition)
• Copyright prevents access to orphan works and scanned material
• Ebook versions of academic monographs not yet universally available
• Ebook procurement more complicated than traditional purchasing
• Current DRM restrictions limit how patrons can use ebooks

The Promise of the Cloud
Leveraging Ebooks and Shared Repositories to Reduce Local Holdings
HathiTrust Offers Collaborative Digital
Library for the Academy
• Began in 2008 as collaboration of CIC, the
University of California system, and the
University of Virginia to establish a repository
to archive and share digitized collections
• Now involves 52 partner libraries
• Includes both in-copyright and public domain
materials digitized by Google, the Internet
Archive, Microsoft, and in-house initiatives
• Bibliographic and full-text search are available
for all volumes
• Public domain volumes are freely accessible to
the public and can be downloaded in their
entirety with authentication by persons
affiliated with partner institutions
Scaled, Digital Collections Will Free Up
Significant Local Resources
• Nearly 1/3rd of content purchased by
research libraries in the US has already been
digitized and is preserved in HathiTrust
• More than 60% of retrospective print
collections held in ARL libraries will be
duplicated in HathiTrust by June 2014
• Median space savings that could be achieved
at an ARL library is more than 45,000
assignable square feet (ASF).
• Total annual cost avoidance that could be
achieved is between $500,000 and $2 M per
ARL library

From Assets to Liabilities
“Unless this transition is proactively managed by
library directors and supported by the academic
institutions they serve, there is a strong probability
(not to say certainty) that the legacy print collections
we have long cultivated as institutional assets will
eventually be regarded local liabilities.”

A Matter of Time
Resistance to Ebooks Persists, But Likely to Fade as Technology Improves
“The narrow path still leads, as it must, to crowded
public rooms where the sunlight gleams on varnished
tables, and knowledge is embodied in millions of dusty,
crumbling, smelly, irreplaceable documents and books.”

Triggers, Limits, and Mediation Standards
Titles loaded into catalogInitial Pilot Settings
• 50,000 Ebooks
• < 5 minutes = free
• > 5 minutes = 1-day loan
(10-20% of purchase price)
• Purchase on the 3rd loan
• Mediation on loans > $40
• Simultaneous access
Avoid paying for brief browsing
Most users spend only 5 to 15 minutes
in a book, and few books are used more
than 3 times
Books used more than 3 times are more
likely to be widely popular
• Increased to 5 uses after analysis of
savings threshold
Avoid overly expensive purchases
• Removed limit and mediation; cost
savings not worth delay / oversight
“Non-Linear Lending” allows unlimited
simultaneous access to all Ebooks

• Usage definitions
• Price limits
• Librarian
approvals/mediation
“We’ll buy lots of titles

Assessment:
Rent/buy triggers prevent
overzealous acquisition
End-users better judges of
needs and value
• “Unused books are bad
books”
• Each PDA purchase has
demonstrated demand
• User-built collection well-
rounded and diverse, but
unpredictable
“We’ll have a shallow,
narrow collection”
(The Barnes & Noble Problem)
Assessment:
Virtual ebook catalogs actually
expand and revitalize the
collection
• Discoverability no longer guided
by physical ownership,
proximity, or placement
• Catalog no longer subject to
one-time selector decisions
• University press ebook sales
rescuing the “backlist”
• 90% at UNC-Chapel Hill Press
• 87% at U of Kentucky Press
• 70% at Johns Hopkins Press

Creating a Broader Range of Options for Scholarly Communication
Current State Preferred End-State
• Researchers transfer copyright to • Authors retain certain aspects of
journal publishers
• Disciplinary societies contract with
publishers for journal production
• Publishers sell access to libraries in
bundles of journal titles
• Gaps in subscriptions filled by
inefficient and expensive inter-
library loan programs
Journals
Barriers to Change
copyright and deposit copies of
articles in open access repositories
• Subscription model coexists with on-
demand services and open access
models
• Researchers have outlets for making
data accessible, sharing pre-prints, and
publishing non-article forms of
scholarship
• Faculty tenure and promotion guidelines favor publication in
selective journals (typically produced by a handful of publishers)
• Publishers hesitant to adopt open access models that threaten their
financial viability

Opening the Floodgates
Digitization Transformed the Music Industry in Less Than a Decade
Digital Music Purchase Options
Ad Supported Subscription
Lessons from the Music Industry
• Long tail thrives: Consumers have broader
access and more purchase options
• Every musician a producer: Musicians have
more options for distributing their work
• More music, less revenue: Total revenues
from sales of CDs, vinyl, cassettes and digital
downloads in the U.S. peaked at $14.6 B in
1999, may fall as low as $9.2 B
• Adapt or die: Record companies and music
retailers have struggled to adapt
• Music wants to be free: Digital Rights
Management (DRM) restrictions largely
abandoned after 2007

• Ebooks and discovery tools not yet an acceptable substitute for browsing open stacks
• Vocal groups of faculty strongly oppose reducing onsite physical collection
• Deselecting books and journals can be expensive and time-consuming
• Often expensive to renovate libraries to accommodate new uses

To do so, Harvard will need to embrace a model that ensures access to—not necessarily ownership of—scholarly materials needed by faculty, students, and other library users, now and in the future.” Library Task Force Report Harvard University, 2009 © 2011 The Advisory Board Company • www.educationadvisoryboard.com • 22852D Source: “Report of the Task Force on University Libraries,” Harvard University, Nov 2009.
