What
...
is
...
the
...
MyiLibrary
...
patron-driven
...
eBook
...
plan
...
in
...
the
...
sciences?
...
This
...
patron-driven
...
eBook
...
plan
...
is
...
a
...
purchasing
...
model
...
in
...
which
...
we
...
load
...
MyiLibrary
...
MARC
...
records
...
in
...
advance
...
into
...
our
...
catalog
...
for
...
eBooks
...
that
...
we
...
profiled
...
(scholarly,
...
in
...
certain
...
science
...
subject
...
areas,
...
and
...
in
...
scope).
...
Patrons
...
would
...
decide
...
which
...
titles
...
we
...
actually
...
purchase
...
by
...
browsing
...
them
...
more
...
than
...
once.
...
The
...
first
...
browse
...
is
...
free;
...
a
...
2nd
...
browse
...
would
...
generate
...
a
...
purchase.
...
What
...
counts
...
as
...
a
...
browse?
...
Any
...
further
...
browsing
...
beyond
...
the
...
table
...
of
...
contents
...
in
...
the
...
eBook
...
(no
...
matter
...
for
...
how
...
long)
...
counts
...
as
...
a
...
browse
...
and
...
after
...
two
...
browses
...
will
...
initiate
...
a
...
purchase.
...
They
...
look
...
like
...
regular
...
eBooks
...
in
...
WCL.
...
How
...
can
...
I
...
make
...
sure
...
that
...
I
...
identify
...
those
...
specific
...
eBooks
...
in
...
order
...
to
...
avoid
...
a
...
mistaken
...
purchase?
...
Since
...
the
...
whole
...
idea
...
is
...
to
...
provide
...
seamless
...
access
...
to
...
our
...
patrons,
...
it
...
is
...
not
...
immediately
...
apparent
...
in
...
the
...
OPAC.
...
But
...
if
...
you
...
view
...
the
...
MARC
...
record
...
in
...
Voyager,
...
you
...
will
...
see
...
an
...
899
...
field
...
that
...
says:
...
MyiLibraryeappr
...
.
...
This
...
899
...
text
...
indicates
...
that
...
we
...
have
...
not
...
yet
...
purchased
...
the
...
eBook
...
(so
...
please
...
be
...
careful
...
not
...
to
...
browse
...
beyond
...
the
...
TOC
...
and
...
abstract
...
unless
...
you
...
really
...
want
...
us
...
to
...
buy
...
this
...
book).
...
If
...
an
...
eBook
...
is
...
purchased,
...
when
...
we
...
load
...
updated
...
records,
...
this
...
899
...
field
...
changes
...
to
...
MyiLibraryCUL.
...
Note
...
that
...
the
...
last
...
three
...
characters
...
'CUL'
...
indicate
...
a
...
Cornell-owned
...
copy.
...
If
...
you
...
are
...
interested
...
to
...
see
...
how
...
a
...
record
...
of
...
an
...
unpurchased
...
MyiLibrary
...
title
...
looks
...
like
...
you
...
can
...
search
...
in
...
Voyager
...
for
...
Bib:
...
6683558.
...
When
...
will
...
we
...
begin
...
to
...
see
...
records
...
for
...
this
...
plan?
...
The
...
first
...
batch
...
of
...
127
...
records
...
(for
...
imprint
...
year
...
2009)
...
already
...
has
...
been
...
loaded
...
on
...
Friday,
...
August
...
28.
...
We
...
will
...
continue
...
adding
...
files
...
of
...
new
...
available
...
titles
...
on
...
a
...
regular
...
basis
...
to
...
catch
...
all
...
recent
...
imprints
...
and
...
update
...
those
...
records
...
that
...
reflect
...
titles
...
our
...
users
...
have
...
purchased.
...
This
...
first
...
load
...
of
...
records
...
is
...
small
...
for
...
our
...
profile
...
since
...
any
...
of
...
Cornell's
...
current
...
holdings
...
(whether
...
in
...
...
or
...
e)
...
were
...
excluded
...
from
...
the
...
load
...
to
...
avoid
...
the
...
purchase
...
of
...
duplicates
...
(even
...
duplicate
...
versions).
...
Titles
...
for
...
the
...
selected
...
publishers
...
in
...
the
...
chosen
...
subject
...
areas
...
were
...
received
...
on
...
the
...
...
approval
...
plan
...
through
...
July
...
2009.
...
How
...
many
...
pages
...
can
...
a
...
patron
...
...
from
...
a
...
MyiLibrary
...
eBook
...
in

1

Users

can

a

to

3

times

in

...
The

be

if

they

the

in

Will

get

in

What
...
is
...
"dual
...
access"
...
and
...
who
...
are
...
the
...
publishers
...
that
...
we
...
are
...
going
...
to
...
pursue
...
this
...
with?
...
Although
...
we
...
are
...
satisfied
...
with
...
the
...
MyiLibrary
...
platform,
...
some
...
publishers
...
may
...
provide
...
our
...
users
...
better
...
terms
...
in
...
regard
...
to
...
printing
...
and
...
viewing
...
rights.
...
For
...
the
...
benefit
...
of
...
our
...
patrons,
...
we
...
agreed
...
to
...
pay
...
an
...
additional
...
fee
...
(when
...
one
...
is
...
required)
...
to
...
MyiLibrary
...
in
...
order
...
to
...
provide
...
us
...
dual
...
access
...
rights
...
for
...
these
...
publishers:
...
Chapman/CRC,
...
Elsevier/North
...
Holland,
...
John
...
Wiley,
...
Morgan
...
Kaufmann,
...
Oxford/Clarendon
...
and
...
Routledge.
...
Please
...
note
...
that
...
the
...
publisher's
...
link
...
will
...
be
...
activated
...
only
...
upon
...
purchase
...
and
...
on
...
a
...
later
...
date
...
than

the

original
...
MyiLibrary
...
link.

Are we still getting on approval print copies of books published by these publishers beyond the scope of the sciences call number ranges?
Yes, according to our domestic approval restrictions.
How will we evaluate the success of this purchasing model?
We will be monitoring the expenditures as a result of the plan closely as well as the use of this material. RAU (Research and Assessment Unit) will play a consulting role in developing an evaluation plan to measure the overall effect of this new model with this vendor in these subject areas.
What happens if we decide to abandon this patron-driven plan after a year?
According to our agreement, Cornell will continue to have access to the eBooks purchased even if we decide to discontinue this program with MyiLibrary.
Why have we decided to experiment with a patron-driven eBook plan to begin with and why have we chosen MyiLibrary/Coutts as a vendor?
