Questionary about the request for the licensed databases by ANKOS • 60 institutions participated • 644 are licensed for any database • 874 requests for opening a trial • 419 were not interested • There is currently 15 databases under trial usage
Issues and problems: • Dealing with complexity: • İncreasing number of members • İncreasing number of offers from publishers and vendors • Variaety of databases and licenses • User education • Communication with members • Stability of the consortium • State and private universities • Hospitals • National Site Licesing • Turkish Procurement Law, payment isssues • ANKOS is acting as advising organization for the Turkish Higher Education Council since April 2006
Effect of the consortium • Document delivery versus big deal • Increasing collaboration among the libraries and librarians • Libraries are getting more attention from the users and administrations • Bundeled serials: end of serial collection development • E-books: bundeled like serials: end of book collection development?
Moving away from “buying club” • Staff exchange • Education of the librarians • Regular meetings with the library directors • Internal and external evaluation of the consortium • Strategic planning • Open Acess, institutional repositories • Print and e-book collection development • ILL • Electronic resource management • Library automation systems • Common digitization projects • Support of research and teaching: Virtual learning environments
