Schema
1. What is SELL?
2. SELL consortia compared to Northern/Central Europe consortia
3. South is different?
D2/Icolc/0810ConsSN.ppt16/23
SELL members share some common problems, such as:
English as 2nd language is not as common as in other non-English-speaking countries
Educational system is quite different from the Anglo-Saxon model
Weak purchasing power due to very inadequate budgets
Poor tradition in library cooperation Not a very relevant role of the libraries within the
university
D2/Icolc/0810ConsSN.ppt17/23
Why some libraries are paying too much?
Model prices based on ‘nordic’ countries: FTE not applicable Campus licenses not applicable University teaching based on lectures and
studying notes Universities play an occupational role for
young people Low knowledge of English (even among the
university population)
