Delta Think, "The Evolving Value of OhioLINK’s Journal Packages in a Complex OA Landscape: A Framework for Local Resource Decisions," May 15, 10-11AM
OhioLINK and Delta Think created and updated a custom analysis of the consortium’s shared subscription content to maintain value for the 117 member libraries. While the initial promise of more OA content presumed a corresponding decrease in subscription content, analyses have shown that subscription output across the OhioLINK packages has remained fairly consistent. OhioLINK’s Joanna Voss and Amy Pawlowski and Delta Think’s Dan Pollock will be joined by Case Western Reserve University Library’s Brian Gray to discuss aspects of the framework. We will share this framework, so that others may apply the thinking to their own analyses. May 15, 10-11AM. Click to register!
