Impediments to distribution of knowledge
 Dramatic price increases for scientific journals
 Lack of correlation price - quality
 Market dominated by a few very large companies
 Publishers want to control user behaviour
 New and complicated conditions for ownership, and
licensing of e-content
 New legal and technical barriers to access
 Scientific information – a common good or a
commodity priced per Least Profitable Unit ?
Ingegerd Rabow, Head Office, Lund University Libraries
Library Strategies – old & new
• Journal cancellations & reduced monograph
acquisitions – BUT…
• Site & consortial licensing – BUT…
• ILL/Doc. delivery vs subscription – BUT…
• Promoting competion & lower pricing (SPARC)
• Promoting Open Acess & university based
archives
• Promoting new IPR-agreements
• Creating coordination and awareness among
– libraries, academics, administrators, policy
makers, funding authorities, etc.
Ingegerd Rabow, Head Office, Lund University Libraries
Building consortia
- does not always help…
• Package deal problems – ”Bound to Bundles”
• National agreements based on certain
important principles, e.g. archival access
• United we stand ?
– For Science a 17-library consortium license 2002
based on these principles
– Renewal negotiations for 2003
– What happened?
• The Principle of Least Effort
• The Tragedy of the Commons

Other strategies. 1.
•
•
•
•
Actively promote OA and reasonably priced
alternatives!
Avoid the ”Publisher Trap” !
Make open access material and niche journals
visible in a general portal
ELIN@Lund (Electronic Library Information
Navigator)
– Contents:
•
•
•
•
The global players/publishers
Open Archives, and Open Access Journals
+11.000.000 records in one user interface with value
added services (TOC-alerts, SDI´s etc.)
Archiving - access to content after termination
of license

Maximising journal usage - ELIN@
ALPSP Alert July 2003. Sally Morris.
• ”There's been some debate about linking to Open
Access journals from a library's OPAC. It seems that
not all do this, because it's too much work
• In Lund (where the directory of Open Access journals
is being compiled) they found this a real problem, so
they created ELIN@ (Electronic Library Navigator) to
solve it
• Many major publishers, including ALPSP members
Wiley, Blackwell, Emerald, Institute of Physics,
Elsevier and IEE have provided their journal article
metadata for inclusion in ELIN@
• I would strongly encourage other members to do
likewise. It can only increase the visibility of
your journal”

Other strategies.2.
• University based electronic publishing
– LU:research – a single entry point to research
produced by researchers with affiliation Lund
• Primary publishing
• Self Archiving/Archiving
• Dissemination (OAI- compliant) to other
services
• Spin-offs:
– Virtual journals
– CV`s for research funding applications
– Publication database (validation)
– Research evaluation (bibliometrics)

Other strategies.3.
Dissemination/visibility of Open Access
journals
more usage = more citations = increased
impact = more usage etc.
• DOAJ Directory of Open Access Journals
– Phase 1 (completed)
• Peer reviewed
• All subjects
• All languages
– Phase 2 (ongoing)
• Article level search/retrieve
• Metadata – creation
• Network of editors

Other Strategies.4.
• IPR-agreements – Transfer of copyright=market power
– Working group with representatives from the Law Faculty, the
University legal department and the Head Office for libraries.
Proposed Model licenses for the university
• Creating coordination and awareness:
– Swedish Resource Centre for Scientific
Communication – ScieCom.org (2002)
– 1st/2nd Nordic Conference on Scholarly
Communication (2002 & 2004)

- in whole or in part, as the basis for further publications or
spoken presentations
- for publication in the Author´s future doctoral thesis /
dissertation provided the Author acknowledge the

ScieCom.org
Swedish Resource Centre for Scientific Communication
• Inform scholars,administrators, funding
authorities, and libraries about the scholarly
communication crisis
• Create a common strategic plan for Swedish HElibraries to work efficiently with alternative
publishing models
• Re-establish control of scholarly communication
• Use bibliometrics, open citation and other methods
to analyse and show the ”impact” of alternative
publishing
• Intellectual Property Rights - Model licenses
• Arrange seminars and courses

Ingegerd Rabow, Head Office, Lund University Libraries
Proposed development
• Raise the issue on Nordic and national level
• Transform ScieCom.org into a Nordic Knowledge
Centre for Scholarly Publishing
• Continuing discussions:
– Application to NORDINFO & national research
funding agencies
– NOP:HS application as a follow up of a recent
report on the future of Nordic research
publications and the use of Nordic languages.
