this allows the freedom to bypass a connection to funds, doesn’t track how the source of payment, more flexibility to move data around; different campuses will have different needs as to the level of cost-resource-usage analysis that might be needed; Alma has two methods of processing usage data - most complex alignment necessary to have cost data in the right place – one-to-one or one-to-many- match with titles (ebook package costs $2,000/500 titles=$4.00 per book/ 10 uses = .40 cents per use), but with analytics report type “usage” this is strictly raw SUSHI harvested data which might include usage for content freely available during COVID or due to OA, but not included in the local catalog (Alma shows 2,000 ebooks with publisher X and SUSHI shows 2,400 ebook titles were used by your campus); using cost data needs to be professionally analyzed by e-resources experts - for example buying an ebook package in 2018 does not equate to buying ebooks exclusively having a 2018 copyright (libraries can be purchasing ebooks with a variety of copyright dates - even purchase titles not yet published); Keeping software, RDA Toolkit services and other types of purchases in the catalog - no corresponding material type; Looking to change POL workflows, what to do about old cost data (if local payment has been made to CDL for all these years, did it transfer in as a suppressed print record still being identified by an outdated product name…); CSU workflow example for linking old POL data ; CSU provides good workflow examples, but UC is exponentially more complex given higher volume of resources acquired; Title Transfers between publishers and between local and CDL; Tier 1, 2 & 3; and now new purchase model with 2022 Nature Journals package - CDL will also track individual campus purchases;
Good discussion and raises a lot of issues that are associated with Alma’s tightly integrated e-resources management software. Having little insight into the types of analytics that might be requested of technical services, it’s difficult to build a system that is going to address every unforeseen assessment using data in multiple ways - cost/usage; value to campus by link resolver count; impact of OA; textbook savings; etc.
