CAUL-Industry Think Tank Intra-consortium cost allocation: CAUL-SCIP model

1. CAUL-Industry Think TankIntra-consortium cost allocation: CAUL-SCIP model Alex Byrne University of Technology, Sydney

2. SCIP National Site Licence Working Group Criteria • Transparency • Inclusiveness • Fairness • Predictability • Sustainability

3. Transparency • The data used in the cost allocation model should be drawn from verifiable sources such as • DEST data • CAUL/AARL statistics • The formula should be easily comprehensible

4. Inclusiveness • The cost allocations determined by the formula should enable the participation of any interested member of the consortium • Institutional characteristics such as size, location, distribution of campuses should not inhibit participation

5. Fairness • The formula should apply relevant criteria which reflect the value or potential value of the resource to each participant eg • For research • To coursework students

6. Predictability • Large variations in cost allocation from year to year should be avoided and hence … • Data used should not be volatile

7. Sustainability • The formula should be robust so that the consortium will be unlikely to collapse if prices rise or a few members leave

8. Student numbers Research student numbers Research student completions Student ethnic diversity Equity measures Staff numbers Total university income Research income Size of collection Current subscriptions Library budget Number of branches Number of ILLs supplied/requested University Librarian’s discretion Vice-Chancellor’s humility Publishers’ philanthropy Possible criteria

9. Modifications and adjustments • To include or exclude print • For prior subscription • For different packages • To apply credits • To not exceed previous expenditure • To apply maxima or minima

10. Formulae - characteristics • Weighted • Flag fall or threshold • Capped • Banded • Equal number in each band • By category of library (eg Go8, ATN, Go5) • At break points in the data

16. University of Melbourne University of Sydney University of New South Wales University of Queensland Monash University University of Western Australia University of Adelaide RMIT University Queensland University of Technology University of Western Sydney ANU and La Trobe most volatile in this quartile SCIP –Model D – first quartile

17. Curtin University of Technology Macquarie University University of Technology, Sydney Griffith University La Trobe University University of South Australia Australian National University University of Newcastle Deakin University Library University of Wollongong RMIT, UWS, UWA and Adelaide can move from this quartile SCIP –Model D – second quartile

18. Flinders University of South Australia University of Tasmania Charles Sturt University Victoria University of Technology University of New England Murdoch University Edith Cowan University James Cook University of North Queensland Swinburne University of Technology University of Southern Queensland Flinders, CSU and VUT most volatile in this quartile SCIP –Model D – third quartile

19. Central Queensland University University of Canberra Southern Cross University Australian Catholic University Northern Territory University University of Ballarat Bond University Australian Defence Force Academy University of the Sunshine Coast University of Notre Dame Australia None move from this quartile SCIP –Model D – fourth quartile

20. SCIP – sorted by Model A

21. SCIP – sorted by Model A • Model A: 1/2 RQ and 1/2 eftsu • RMIT, UWA and Adelaide go down • CSU and VUT go up

22. SCIP – sorted by Model B • Model B: 1/3 RQ and 1/3 eftsu and 1/3 resources budget • RMIT goes down • ANU and La Trobe go up

23. SCIP – sorted by Model C • Model C: 1/4 RQ and 1/4 research pop 1/4 eftsu and 1/4 resources budget • ANU and La Trobe go up

24. SCIP – sorted by Model E • Model E: 1/2 RQ and 1/4 eftsu and 1/4 resources budget • RMIT goes down • Flinders, ANU and La Trobe go up

25. Sensitivity analysis • RMIT, ANU, La Trobe are the most sensitive to changes in formulae • CSU, VUT, UWA, Flinders and Adelaide are also affected. • The smaller (fourth quartile) are unaffected. • The largest jockey for position but do not leave the first quartile. • Can also analyse capacity to pay ie cost compared to resources budget – rejected by AVCC.

26. AVCC formula Elements: Share of • Actual student load (EFTSU) • National total of publications • Total higher degree completions • National competitive grants • Total research income • FTE staff • Existing spend for 2001
