IEEE Plans for COUNTER Code Of Practice

1. IEEE Plans for COUNTER Code Of Practice National Online 6 May 2003 New York Barbara H. Lange Director, Publications Business Development

2. First, a Look at IEEE Online Products • IEEE Goes Online in 1998 • IEEE/IEE Electronic Library (IEL) • Collection of IEEE and IEE Periodicals, Conference Proceedings and IEEE Standards • Content back to 1988 • Recently loaded content back to 1950’s • Currently, over 937,000 documents

3. 2000 Brings New Delivery Platform and Products • May 2000 released new online delivery platform, IEEE Xplore • Additional subscription products • All-Society Periodicals Package (ASPP) • Proceedings Order Plans (POPs) • IEEE Spectrum Magazine • The Proceedings of the IEEE • IEEE Member access • IEEE does not currently offer single online subscriptions

4. And New Product Offerings Break Tradition • IEEE Member Digital Library • Individual subscriptions at the article level • Users download 25 documents per month • IEEE Biomedical Engineering Library • Collection based on technical discipline • At the article-level, rather than traditional journal-level

5. Conference Proceedings Order Plan All ~ 350 titles backfile to 1998 IEEE Spectrum Magazine backfile to 1998 The Proceedings of the IEEE backfile to 1998 Conference Proceedings Order Plan 135 titles backfile to 1998 All-Society Periodicals Package 106 periodicals backfile to 1998 IEEE Spectrum Online www.spectrum.ieee.org IEEE Xplore is a Foundation IEEE Member access to personal subscriptions based on society rules IEEE Member Digital Library IEEE Information Technology Library IEEE Biomedical Engineering Library IEEE/IEE Electronic Library All-inclusive subscription product backfile to 1950’s IEEE Xplore™ Platform Online delivery service with search features and other enhancements

6. IEEE Covers Broader User Base • Global marketplace - IEEE serves users around the world • Institutional customer market • Academic • Corporate • Government • Individual market • IEEE Members • Over 380,000 worldwide

7. Levels of Access Vary • Guests • Browse Tables of Contents • No Search, No Abstracts • Subscribers • Browse and search • Access to subscribed content only • Members • Browse and Search • Access to all abstract records and subscriptions

8. IEEE Provides Usage Statistics • Since 2001, IEEE has provided institutional customers with online usage statistics • Data includes • Total PDFs requested • Total Abstract records requested • Total Denials • Concurrency • Subscription

11. IEEE Xplore Usage Grows Over 3 million PDFs downloaded in both January and February 2003

12. How IEEE Compares to COUNTER • IEEE behaves as both journal and database publisher, according to COUNTER definitions

13. IEEE Continues to Review Process • Engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers to audit usage reporting process • Full review of process • Sales • Order entry • IEEE Xplore authentication • Usage logs • Usage reports • Report of attestation

14. IEEE’s “COUNTER” Position • IEEE endorses an industry standard • COUNTER provides a common set of definitions • IEEE will use the COUNTER code of practice as the guide for online usage reports • Problem: Balancing the needs of librarians with publisher capabilities • How to cover cost of delivering specialized usage data
