The Collection Management Section of ALCTS is proud to announce the
following Forum at the 2012 ALA MidWinter Meeting in Dallas. The
Forum is Alternatives to the Big Deal: Implementing Pay-Per-View
Collection Management.
Date: Sunday, January 22, 2012
Location: Dallas Convention Center (DCC), Room D168
Time: 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Description: Large aggregated packages of journals that publishers
offer to libraries for hefty subscription fees, otherwise known as the
Big Deal, have become commonplace in libraries. While they offer the
advantage of purchasing large numbers of titles at a discount,
librarians have become increasingly disenchanted with them because of
their high cost and the inability to add or drop titles from the
package. Pay per view subscription models offer an alternative that
allows librarians to pay only for those articles that their users
view. This program examines the pay per view model from the
perspective of both the publisher and of librarians who have
implemented it. The advantages and disadvantages of per view are
discussed along with an exploration of where the pay per view model is
headed and what its long term prospects might be.
The Forum will be moderated by Ann Okerson. Ann Okerson combines
experience in academic library management, the commercial sector, and
as senior/ founding program officer for Scholarly Communications at
the Association of Research Libraries in Washington, DC. In 1996,
Okerson organized the Northeast Research Libraries consortium (NERL),
a group of 28 large and over 80 smaller libraries negotiating for
electronic information and engaging occasionally in other co-operative
activities. With special funding, she and her staff mounted
Liblicense, an online educational resource about library licensing of
electronic content. Its extensive annotations and links are
complemented by an international discussion group of over 3,800
librarians, publishers and attorneys. She has done training of
librarians around the world, both in forming consortia and in
licensing. After 15 years as Associate Director at Yale Library, she
took up a position (October1st) as Special Advisor on E-Resource
Strategies for the Center for Research Libraries (Chicago). She is
active in IFLA, most recently as member of the Governing Board and
Chair of the Professional Committee.
