“…They worked well with YBP and had the best potential to work well with the Alliance (McElroy & Hinken, 2011, p. 38). The initial discovery pool included 1,700 titles with 2011 imprints from 12 publishers (Bunnelle, 2012). By June 30, 2014, the end of the consortium's fiscal year, the Alliance had access to 19,000 titles, owned 1,771 e-books, and devoted $1,000,000 a year to the cost of the program.…”

One of the great scholarly publishing success stories of the past decades has been the systematic transition from print to electronic that major academic publishers and libraries alike have conducted for scholarly journals. We tend to focus on the limitations of this transition, such as bundled pricing models and challenges such as smaller publishers still clinging to print or richly illustrated titles that do not always display well in digital formats. At the same time, the overall transition has been remarkably orderly and responsible, yielding meaningful improvements in discovery and access. Compared with journals, the possibility of a format transition for books presents a different set of opportunities, and far greater complexity, for academic libraries and publishers alike. In this book, contributors review some of the exciting initiatives that are being mounted in an effort to incorporate e-books into library acquisition, discovery, and access channels. As has been the case for e-journals, we are developing institutional licensing models, allowing for the creation of library "collections" of e-books often spread across a variety of platforms. Although publishers try to retain the revenues associated with heavily used materials, libraries seek to manage expenditures by maintaining sharing models and responding to community demand with greater sophistication. Even if e-books are growing unevenly, libraries and content providers can take much satisfaction in the progress that has been made to introduce this valuable new format for books.

Column Editor's Note. This column focuses on formal collaboration and networking among libraries through consortia. It offers in-depth examinations of issues facing modern library consortia including (but not limited to) e-resource licensing, ebooks, next generation integrated library systems, shared print archiving, shared digital repositories, governance and other relevant topics. Contributions are accepted for this column and must be submitted to George Machovec (george@coalliance.org). Contact the column editor for suggested topics, deadlines and formatting.ABSTRACT. ConnectNY has been involved in consortial e-book projects since 2010. Based upon the experience of these group ebook projects, we will explore different methods for assuming the shared cost of group e-book programs and then describe ways in Color versions of one or more of the figures in the article can be found online at www.tandfonline.com/wjla. 249 250 B. Harloe et al.which DDA programs may promote a positive Return on Investment (ROI) for groups as compared to individual institutions. We will argue that while use is a factor that can be taken into account when distributing cost amongst members, a budget-based percentage approach will allow consortia to effectively initiate and manage such projects over time.
