  1. LBNL Library Library Survey Preliminary Analysis Jane Tierney, Acting Library Head Presented by Tammy Welcome January 28, 2005

  2. Survey Parameters • All scientists and engineers invited, includes CSE’s • 500 points to allocate to list of 2200 titles • People had to finalize their votes to be counted • Because of time constraints, (Ohio factor) we could not count unfinalized ‘ballots’ • Everyone who finalized the survey was counted

  3. Points of Interest • 1330 total respondents finalized the survey • Each division well represented • Many respondents used all 500 points on one title for which they were the only one interested. • Extensive interest, some even came to library to fill in hard copies of survey • Some degree of ‘other’ positions participation

  4. Respondents by Division

  5. How We Sorted the Data • Compared top vote getters to number of people voting. Eliminated titles not selected by minimum of 10 people. These can be handled by smaller licenses. • Took remaining 646 of 1741 total voted-for titles and compared to contracted titles through Elsevier, CDL and EBSCO. • Identified new list of ‘wanted’ titles for future acquisition. • Computed average cost of CDL title, list and discounted price • Continuing constraints imposed by CDL, EBSCO and Elsevier agreements for FY05

  6. Results of Survey • Prior to recent cuts (FY04), the Library had 82% of top vote getter journals • Remaining 18% represents new highly sought titles required by an average of 25 or more scientists (120 journals) • After FY05 cut, Library has less of top vote getter journals • Analysis in process • View Excel data from desktop • http://isswprod.lbl.gov/Survey/journal/Reports

  7. What Can Be Done Now? • Additional analysis needed along with pricing from vendors • Tradeoff of current journals that were not top vote-getters with journals we don’t have that are top vote-getters • Constraint on amount of additional dollars can get • Constraint on time • Library can purchase with Lab/CDL discounts for divisions • Enables tracking • Potentially get cheaper prices • Web of Science with 5 yr. backfiles currently available. No click-through as with Current Contents, which is no longer available through UC system. We hope to add more backfiles. $44K yearly base + 90K one time for each 5 yrs additional backfiles.
