Issues

• Profile should be reviewed adjusted as needed
• Adding ebooks when there is a print version or
  another online copy needs to be reviewed
• Invoiced for titles that we did not have MARC
  records for (small)
• Determining the cap for the price of the book
• Maintaining sufficient deposit funds to cover the
  high use
• Access issues

14
Highest used titles
15
Online ILL

• Supplement the print and online collection in
  catalog
• Provide access to monographs through EBL rather
  than InterLibrary Loan
• Cap for price of book is higher 350
• Non-mediated
• Rental charge based on the amount of time access
  and the percent

16
Future

• Expand funding PDA for all subject areas
• EBL model provides access titles (including
  Springer) otherwise out of reach through SFX
  (higher cap)
• Unclear how this will impact the role of the
  bibliographer and selection
