“…Bley (2000) viewed that The National Electronic Site License Initiative (NESLI) has overcome the resolution of technical and licensing problems for site, multi-site, and offsite access; clarification and standardization of license terms and conditions; separation of print and electronic subscriptions; and, the further development of a single seamlessly linked electronic journal delivery system. Hurtt (2000) concluded that consortia purchase products at a fair price and publishers ended up with wider publicity and sales within a shorter period of time. Tenopir and King (2000)'s analysis revealed savings of between twelve and thirteen dollars in processing electronic articles on demand compared with the cost of a paper-based interlibrary loan or document delivery transaction.…”

The paper aims to explore and identify the recent contributions to the literature available in the current developments and issues in licensing and pricing models in e-resources. An extensive literature survey was performed in an attempt to identify substantial works published to date concerning pricing and licensing issues coupled with the publishers and librarians. The literature review connotes that hardly any systematic study or scholarly output which can facilitate the precise and accurate facts about pricing and licensing issues coupled with the publishers and librarians is available, although the size of the scholarly publishing industry and its effect on the cost and licensing of e-resource is quite large. It is evident from the scrutiny of literature existing that there are still areas for advanced exploration on the topic of pricing and licensing concerns of the scholarly publishing industry; and study paves the way for the concerned organizations and institutions (such as Libraries and Publishers), at global level, to take substantial measures to overcome monopoly effects from the publishers and come up with the standard models. The study is very helpful for librarians or authorities in selecting the best available ejournal package for their libraries .The paper is the first ordered and thorough attempt to review the literature and provide that there is not any standard pricing model available for e-resource subscription in the market to control the monopoly of publishers and aggregators.

“…It cuts down on administrative costs and has the effect of helping publishers to increase market penetration and communication with more libraries. Hurtt (2000) believes that this can be achieved faster than if the publisher was working alone, and can lead to quicker sales. He also recognises that there are problems, for example libraries belonging to more than one consortium.…”

“…Suffice it to say that long held goal in libraries of co-operative collection development has led to the present emphasis by libraries on``group purchasing'' to derive lower pricing from both publishers and vendors, and to spread access to electronic products to smaller and less wellfunded libraries (Hurtt, 2000). Naylor (1999) also warns that consortial purchasing will have an adverse effect on those librarians who are responsible for collection development.…”

The principal aim was to develop better co-operation between nine UK libraries in the veterinary and animal health field. The project examined a number of library related areas, such as journal archiving, collection development policies, development of a common Z39.50 catalogue interface, grey literature, electronic journals and consortia purchasing. This paper examines the latter issue, taking a brief look at the historical developments and exploring the reasons why libraries enter consortia. It then focuses on the effects upon collection development, models of consortia and describes the ASVIN experience. Electronic accessThe research register for this journal is available at

“…Various studies have discussed the effectiveness of different types of library consortia in various regions, such as Africa (Alemna and Antwi, 2002), the UK (Bley, 2000; Davies, 2001), South Africa (Darch et al , 1999), the USA (Dillon, 2001; Evans, 2002; Langston, 2003), Swaziland (Jalloh, 2000), and Queensland (Sayers, 2004), etc. Suppliers/publishers have increasingly sought to sell goods through library consortia because many libraries have joined consortia (Hurtt, 2000).…”

PurposeThis paper aims to share the successful experiences and suggestions from the 2007 Chinese e‐books consortium.Design/methodology/approachA survey of the participant libraries of the 2007 Chinese e‐books consortium was conducted. Survey results were analyzed.FindingsThe consortium improved the Chinese collections with perpetual ownership, and demonstrated the bargaining power that exists through a consortium. Most participants would consider joining the consortium in the future.Research limitations/implicationsSince the 2007 Chinese e‐books consortium has only just been completed, the usage statistics have not been compiled. It will be interesting to see how readers adapt to the Chinese e‐books in the future.Practical implicationsThe results have practical implications for the operation of library consortia.Originality/valueThis study provides the latest opinions and suggestions from the consortium participants, which can be valuable to those who are interested in initiating new library consortia. The study results can also be of value to librarians who are considering joining any library consortia.
