2 Purchasing on PQDT Full-text Database
Introduction on PQDT database • The world's most comprehensive collection of dissertations and theses • 3 million searchable citations to dissertations and theses • 1 million full-text dissertations that are available for download in PDF format • More than 80,000 new full-text dissertations and theses are added to the database each year
Subject distribution of full-text database By July 16th, 2014,Total number of PQDT full-text is 466,452
Taking Part in the consortium • Firstly, the institution should fill in a receipt and upload it to the DRAA portal • Then, every participated member has to sign a purchasing agreement with ZhongKe I/E company(the agency of PQDT full-text database in China) • After the payment, members can choose and submit dissertation and thesis orders to subscription system • If the valid orders submitted by members did not reach the fixed number, the insufficient number will be selected and submitted by CALIS. • Lastly, the whole full-text orders will be uploaded to CALIS and other two servers in China to be visited
Utilization Model • "Unlimited cross access" • Each end user can visit collections bought by their institutions and other participants • It offers participants the right of permanent access to the full-texts bought by the consortium • "cost savings” • Each participant chooses a different collection and gathers them together to make the consortium having the most collections to be visited. CALIS is to make sure the Uniqueness of the record • The consortium avoids the duplication of abundant collections and generates significant cost savings on holding selection
Long-term storage & permanent access • Members will continue to have the right to visit the resources of the consortium they have participated whatever they join the next year’s purchasing activity or not • Whether a member joins the consortium later or exits earlier, this member will obtain the rights of long-term storage and permanent access of the full-texts they ordered • CALIS provides long-term storage and permanent access service to PQDT full-text database consortium • As long as one purchased a fixed number of dissertations and theses according to some deals and shared with others, it is allowed to visit the resources subscribed by old members
Retrieval system Developed by ZhongKe I/E company The servers are deployed in three places
Subscription system Participants work together to protect the entire consortium without repeating orders and avoid duplicated holdings for participated libraries
3 The effectiveness of the consortium
The contribution of CALIS • provides the guideline on the development of PQDT full-text database • prompts libraries' investment on the resources of dissertation and thesis • offered subsidies to participant member in CALIS phase one and phase two development • organize the subscription, conduct the negotiations • protect the interests of consortium members • evaluate the database on contents, platform, usage statistic, publishers' service • Cooperatively hold training to promote the consortium development, to train staff skills on database usage
Further consideration • order dissertations and theses anytime and anywhere • discuss other solutions, such as the way of interlibrary loan, document delivery, Pay per View (PPV) and so on • promote the model on "unlimited cross access” and "cost savings”to other databases • provide different kinds of resource sharing models on cooperative purchasing under the support of publishers and agencies
