Shared E-Resources – A Brief History

Legislation: For purposes of licensing electronic library resources from funds appropriated to theComplete Florida Plus Program, those resources licensed for 4-year degree-seekingstudents shall be made available to all 4-year degree-seeking students in the FloridaCollege System and the State University System.

• December 2013: MCLS recommended pursuing the addition of Academic Source Complete for all FLVC libraries (FCS and SUS).

• June 2014: MCLS approved a shared e-resource collection as presented by the CMESC. • July 2014: Don Muccino announced that the 2015 collection would remain “status quo.” Due

to pricing increases a few resources were cut.• Sept 2014: MCLS approved looking at a 2016 e-resource collection where 60% of FLVC funds

are used towards a shared collection.• Dec 2014: CMESC presented recommendations for a 60/40 split e-resource collection for

2016. Don clarified that FLVC is moving forward with planning and negotiation for a collection where the “majority of FLVC e-resource funds be allocated on a common postsecondary portfolio.”

2016 Shared E-Resources

Assumptions (and these are big):• A 60/40 split will be acceptable to legislative staff• Budget remains the same• E-Resource costs remain the same Budget (based on last year’s numbers):• 60% equals $4,110,655 • This leaves $2,740,437 to be split for individual FCS and

SUS collections

2016 Recommended Collection

• Includes a large EBSCO bundle with several upgrades (for all).• Includes Gale Literature Resource Center (for all).• Updates/expands old Wilson content to new EBSCO

Source products (for all).• Excludes a lot of other vendor e-resources currently

purchased with statewide funds.

Other Considerations

• Florida College System News Content – Should we stick with America’s News or switch over to ProQuest’s National News Core and Newsbank’s Florida Collection?

• E-Books – A shared e-book collection would be an economical solution for increasing collections statewide and decrease local cost for ILL activities.

• STEM – Additional funding sources are needed for STEM e-resources.

Other Issues/Projects

• Statistics– Reviewing methodology of gathering and using

statistical data.• Shared E-Books– FCS E-Book Deselection Task Force charged with

updating evaluation guidelines and recommending specific shared e-book titles for deselection.
