Role in scholarly communication …
EDINA’s mission: to enhance productivity in research, learning and teaching
In mid-90s, we planned a future, based on host to key A&I Databases:
•
•
•
Art Abstracts, Art Retro Index, PAIS, MLA, EconLit , Palmer’s Index to Times
Agdex, BIOSIS, CAB-Agriculture, CSA Environment, Land, Life & Leisure
Ei Compendex, INSPEC

Served most of UK academic market for those

But ‘Content Gold Rush’ as rights holders took back licences
• Stampede for retail frontage with links to full text and other portals
Re-making role …
• From Discovery to Delivery
•
•
•
[project activity with Mimas: Copac & Zetoc]
Suncat, UK national union catalogue of serials
National OpenURL Router, as registry of OpenURL resolvers in use
Investigating analysis of usage data / e-journals register [see PEPRS below]
• Open Access; Access Management
•
•
The Depot, an Open Access deposit facility
Access control: Privilege of Membership (rather than Payment of Money)
•
•
•
Pioneered use of Shibboleth for JISC and developed pilot federation (SDSS)
Technical (metadata) support for UK Access Management Federation (with JANET)
JISC Expert Group on Identity & Access Management
• Continuing access and preservation of journal content
•
•
•
•
Access Host for CLOCKSS, with U of Edinburgh as Archive Node
Technical support for UK LOCKSS Alliance cooperative
Piloting an e-journals preservation registry (PEPRS), with ISSN-IC
Post-cancellation access via NESLi2 (PeCAN), with JISC Collections
having also diversified into GeoSpatial (GoGeo) and Multimedia (VSM Portal)
‘resources’; and support for JISC with e-learning/OER
•
Jorum for learning and teaching materials (long term partner with Mimas)

What network-level choice?
For (resource) discovery?
•
Does Internet mean Google [full product range],
Science Direct [and equivalent commercial offerings]?
•
What is the contribution at the national level?
•
•
For journal content and other literature?
For other resources, eg geo-spatial, learning materials, etc
For (resource) locate, request and access?
•
Some resources are ‘open’, others require authorisation:
do we plan structure for both?
– Delivery of product and services ‘at the network level’
– Delivering service (collecting revenue - directly or indirectly)
at the nation state, consortium or institutional level?

what visions have others had?

1) a comprehensive electronic journal system
•
“Recent technological advances … developed largely independently of ..
scientific and technical communication, will provide all the components”
– word-processing equipment [and] personal computers for the preparation of
articles .. will benefit publishers who can handle electronic output. …
– telecommunications infrastructure is already available …
•
“Should a National Periodical Center come into existence,
– [it] would be ideally situated to take advantage of any electronic output from
publishers.
– it could assist in the distribution functions now handled exclusively by publishers.
Libraries and smaller publishers .. would benefit.
•
“This … is highly desirable and currently achievable … within next 20 years,
– a majority of articles will be handled [in part this way] but not all articles will be
… Much-read articles may still be distributed in paper form”

quicker implementation”

2) Pricing model for the future
“… goal is to give people access to as much
information as possible ….
“… experience has been that as soon as usage is
metered on a per-article basis, there is an inhibition
on use or a concern about exceeding some budget
allocation”
28
2) Pricing model [projected] for the future [2000]
“Elsevier’s goal is to give people access to as much information as
possible on a flat fee, unlimited use basis.
“Elsevier’s experience has been that as soon as usage is metered on a
per-article basis, there is an inhibition on use or a concern about
exceeding some budget allocation”

This takes us back to an earlier JISC Vision about access
Based on privilege of membership, not payment of money
• Library Card (Shibboleth) not Visa Card
• End users respond to different price-effort models; if not money
then effort. King & Tenopir
•
But will credit crunch mean cancellations and end of Big Deal?
Just another way of saying “free at the point of use”
• walk-in libraries; the development of JISC and its services
• ‘Digital library developments - a realistic future?’,
