Lund University LibrariesHead Office Electronic Library Information Navigator (ELIN@) The one-stop-shop to digital library resources eIFL Annual General Assembly Poznan September 10th-11th 2004 Lars Björnshauge, Lund University Libraries
Things to consider for libraries and consortia • Arnold Hirshon yesterday: • How can we do something else with electronic resources • How can you increase the value of your consortia • How can we promote the usage of licensed resources eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
Additional issues especially relevant to eIFL consortia • How can we easily provide an overview of available (electronic) resources • When connectivity is an important issue • It must be easy for users to quickly find what they are searching for • Available information resources must be visible • We must provide tools that reduces dependence on connectivity (bandwidth etc.) eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
Other issues also relevant to eIFL consortia • Imagine: • That users only have to learn to know one service to be able to access electronic resources • That – when you have shortage of library staff – you only have to train users in one service eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
More than licensing content and providing access • Organizing resources • Federated search • Integrate Open Access resources • Easy to use = • time saving • reduce costs • reduce network traffic eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
More than just journals!! • It is not only about journals • Freely accessible documents from Open Archives (e-print, pre-print, post-print – institutional repositories) • Databases • Web-resources – subject gateways eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
Integration of OA-material in Library & Information Services • The problem: • conventional toll-access material flows seamlessly into library services • supported by publishers, subscriptionsagents, aggregators etc. • how to expose Open Access material to users?? eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
The bundling strategy from the publishers point of view • In terms of access and usage bundling means: • One database • One single point of access – limited to the content of one publisher (i.e. Kluwer, Springer, Wiley, Elsevier etc.) • Visibility for low usage (low quality?) journals eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
An integration strategy from the library point of view Integration means: • One database • One single point of access – independent of publishers • Visibility for smaller, not-for-profit publishers And • Visibility for Institutional Repositories and Open Access journals and other freely available quality resources eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
A solution: The Electronic Library Information Navigator - ELIN@ - • The one-stop-shop integrating • Subscription based (toll-access) journals, • open access journals • institutional repositories • databases • scholarly web resources (subject gateways) eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge

Why ELIN@ could be usefull for eIFL-menbers • Choose a commercial service – or – • Choose a service developed and operated by a university library • We are Independent • We are on your side! • We are committed to changes in the scholarly publishing system • We are promoting open access, (DOAJ) • We are credible, we keep our promises eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
More!! • One simple pricing model • all services included – • unlimited number of resources (journals, databases etc.) • no extra costs for linking up additional information resources • no extra costs for personalisation (TOC-alerts or SDI´s) • no hardware investments eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
So – to go back to the beginning of this presentation: • You can do something else with electronic resources • You can increase the value of your consortia • You can promote the usage of licensed resources and Open Access resources eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
More! • You can provide an overview of available (electronic) resources • When connectivity is an important issue • You can provide tools for users to quickly find what they are searching for • You can make information resources visible • You can provide tools that reduces dependence on connectivity (bandwidth etc.) eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
And finally • Imagine: • Users only have to learn to know one service to be able to access electronic resources • When you have shortage of library staff – you will only have to train users in one service eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
We work for librariesWe work internationallyWe work for changes in scholarly communicationWe would very much like to work with eIFL consortia to provide easy access to resources and make the most of your investments eIFL Annual General Assembly Lars Björnshauge
