Things to consider for libraries and consortia
Arnold Hirshon yesterday:How can we do something else
with electronic resourcesHow can you increase the value
of your consortiaHow can we promote the usage of
licensed resources
September 2004 eIFL Annual General Assembly
Lars Björnshauge
Additional issues especially relevant to eIFL consortia
How can we easily provide an overview of available (electronic) resources
When connectivity is an important issue It must be easy for users to quickly find
what they are searching forAvailable information resources must be
visibleWe must provide tools that reduces
dependence on connectivity (bandwidth etc.)

Lars Björnshauge
Other issues also relevant to eIFL consortia
Imagine:That users only have to learn to
know one service to be able to access electronic resources
That – when you have shortage of library staff – you only have to train users in one service

More than just journals!!
It is not only about journalsFreely accessible documents
from Open Archives (e-print, pre-print, post-print – institutional repositories)
DatabasesWeb-resources – subject

Integration of OA-material in Library & Information Services
The problem: conventional toll-access material
flows seamlessly into library services
supported by publishers, subscriptionsagents, aggregators etc.
how to expose Open Access material to users??
September 2004 eIFL Annual General Assembly
Lars Björnshauge
The bundling strategy from the publishers point of view
In terms of access and usage bundling means:
1. One database2. One single point of access –
limited to the content of one publisher (i.e. Kluwer, Springer, Wiley, Elsevier etc.)
3. Visibility for low usage (low quality?) journals

An integration strategy from the library point of view
Integration means:1. One database 2. One single point of access –
independent of publishers3. Visibility for smaller, not-for-profit
publishersAnd4. Visibility for Institutional Repositories
and Open Access journals and other freely available quality resources

So – to go back to the beginning of this
presentation:You can do something else
with electronic resourcesYou can increase the value of
your consortiaYou can promote the usage of
licensed resources and Open Access resources

And finally
Imagine:Users only have to learn to know
one service to be able to access electronic resources
When you have shortage of library staff – you will only have to train users in one service
