Collections Management Officer, UNC Chapel Hill LibrariesSlide2

OUP print book sales to academic libraries 2012-2015Slide3

UNC Print Book Circulation TrendsSlide4

Print Books Circulation Trends ImplicationsAs libraries buy more print books, their aggregate circulation declinesIncreasing print acquisitions will not change this situation

Print inevitably becoming marginal niche, especially with the growing acceptance of e-booksE-book availability further depresses circulation of print counterparts, especially when they become accessible before printUNC’s e-books strategy accelerates the print decline & marginalizationSlide5

OUP Reactions/Responses to Print Books Trends & ImplicationsWe currently publish more than 6,000 titles a year worldwide, in a variety of formats. 

Our range includes dictionaries, English language teaching materials, children's books, journals, scholarly monographs, printed music, higher education textbooks, and schoolbooks.Monographs make up 1/6 of our publishing output Slide6

E-books Usage TrendsAs libraries buy more e-books, their aggregate usage increasesE-book usage growth exceeds increase in the number of e-books UNC acquires

E-books now greatly exceeds print circulation at UNC—a trend that not only will continue but also probably accelerateSlide7

UNC E-Books vs. Print Books Use Comparisons8 publishers/vendors representing the e-book platforms with the largest number of titles in UNC collections alone registered 881,682 uses—or more than all print circulation for all publishers

When standardized for total monographic titles available, the relative levels of use are even greater:3,915,878 print titles as of 6/1/2015 registered 597,197 circulations in FY2013/2014, for a ratio of .15

245,442 e-books for these 8 publishers/vendors registered 881,682 uses in 2014, for a ratio of 3.6—or >23X than print booksSlide8

Changing Library Collections ContextsShift of collections from predominance to prominence

Shift from finite collections towards infinity and the leveling affectShift from book scarcity to abundance, if not ubiquityShift from collections of record to collections of use Shift in answering the question of “how good are the collections?”Slide12

Changing Book Publishing ContextsAdapting to a world where quantity of use is measured more importantly than quality of use – how do you publish/should you publish for that and not for the advancement of scholarship, even in a niche field?Slide13

Changing Library Book Collecting StrategiesPrint books title-by-title acquisitions as a loser proposition & strategies for cutting losses

E-books en bloc acquisitions as a value proposition & strategies for maximizing academic supportMoving from an overall quantitative to qualitative approach to building library collections—and its negative impact on print circulationSlide14

Achieving Quantitative Excellence QualitativelyUNC e-books from specific core publishers—the top 100K holdings

UNC e-books from categorical core publishersSlide15

Changing Book Publisher StrategiesFind better and cheaper production processesPrice rises in the most niche areas if fewer will continue to buy – whether in print or digital to cover the costs

Publish more non-monographic content and reduce monograph production Create better tools to enable readers to buy their own print/digital copies when reading a library licensed ebookSlide16

ConclusionsSlide17
