“…Para ello se partió del análisis de la bibliografía recomendada en las guías docentes, un método utilizado en anteriores ocasiones en el ámbito bibliotecario con diferentes fines (Parrot; Lindsay, 2017), principalmente para identificar los documentos básicos sobre un tema que deben formar parte de la colección de la biblioteca para el apoyo a los estudiantes. Además, Tabacaru;Hartnett (2017) proponen este método para poner en valor los servicios en las bibliotecas universitarias al cuantificar el ahorro que suponen para los estudiantes en la compra de libros, una media de 1.250 dólares por curso.…”

“…La disponibilidad de las monografías en formato digital no solo es una ventaja de la enseñanza online, sino que además ha demostrado su conveniencia también para los estudiantes de enseñanzas presenciales durante el estado de alarma provocado por la pandemia. Entonces el personal de las bibliotecas procuró obtener todos los documentos posibles en formato digital para facilitar el acceso desde cualquier lugar (Tabacaru;Harnett, 2017;Fairall, 2020).…”

Las bibliotecas de universidades que imparten titulaciones online o a distancia se enfrentan a la dificultad de facilitar a sus alumnos el acceso a la bibliografía recomendada de las asignaturas. Este problema se ha extendido a todas las universidades durante la pandemia de Covid-19. La solución más evidente consiste en dar acceso a esa bibliografía en formato digital. En el presente trabajo se analiza la bibliografía recomendada en el Grado en Información y Documentación online de la Universidad de León, el único que se imparte en esta modalidad en España, para conocer qué porcentaje de las monografías está disponible en formato digital, a través de licencias de préstamo en bibliotecas o en acceso abierto. Ante el bajo porcentaje obtenido, que no alcanza la tercera parte de las monografías y que resulta insuficiente, se reflexiona sobre las razones, se proponen medidas que pueden llevar a cabo las bibliotecas y el profesorado y se apunta la necesaria digitalización de las monografías.

“…In 2017, a study of 12 University of Toronto courses further pointed to the "double-charging" of students because "55 percent of the assigned readings were already licensed by the library and were fully available in electronic form" (Cancilla et al, 2017, p. 6). In other words, students are paying a royalty fee for course readings that the university library, using students' tuition fees, had already purchased a campus-wide licence for, with some libraries having done more over the last decade to ensure that students are able to access the library's licensed copy for their courses (Canuel & Crichton, 2011;Tabacaru & Hartnett, 2017).…”

The digital transformation of knowledge dissemination and academic publishing have sparked copyright disputes in the educational sector related to the scope of fair dealing. This study contributes (a) an empirical basis for such discussions by analyzing 3,391 course syllabuses (2015–2020) from 34 Canadian universities, and (b) a potential resolution to the disputes to which this analysis is applied. Among the reading types, 26.6% of the syllabuses had readings from academic sources, while 8.3% of the syllabuses had media articles and trade book chapters (with some overlap). The syllabus data are used to calculate a per-page royalty charge, which is used to demonstrate a proposed three-step syllabus rule to avoid double-chargingstudents for academic materials (amounting to 90.1% of readings by pages), while fairly compensating professional authors and their publishers (9.9% of readings by pages). The three-step syllabus rule provides a sound rationale for charging each student $1.40 per year to cover royalty charges for readings assigned in Canadian university courses.

“…The results were encoded based on the type of service, the actor, and the practice of organizing the digital library. The literature review provided evidence of research support services that have been developed in digital libraries, which are divided into six groups: scholarly publishing access, research result dissemination, research data management, research consultation, and capacity building, repository, and research tool and research guide 3,22,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] . Research funding and collaboration services have not been developed in digital libraries.…”

Several studies have highlighted the critical role of academic digital libraries in providing research support services and improving research performance. Although several studies have discussed the value of realizing this role, a business model that can serve as a reference in carrying out this role is not yet available. This research aimed to propose a business model and a prototype design for Indonesia’s academic digital library for research support services. A focus group discussion was conducted involving nine experts to identify the key factors. They were then mapped onto a Business Model Canvas. The key activities in the business model guided the requirements gathering for developing a prototype. The requirements were obtained from the literature reviews with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) method. The requirements were validated by interviewing library managers, research unit managers, and information technology managers. This research resulted in the academic digital library Business Model Canvas and the proposed prototype design, which consisted of a mobile application for member users and a back-office application to manage services by librarians. Further research on prototype implementation testing and the development of a successful implementation model is needed to strengthen this research.
