  1. One Minute Papers

Big Points

      Economic models for e-publishing and DLs are evolving

      Time, convenience, format influence willingness to pay

Questions

      Will models become solidified (and access cheaper) is more people demand/use?

      How do economic models affect scholarship (and tenure process)?  (e.g., if something is ‘scholarly’ but nobody uses it)

      How long are email and library access maintained after graduation? [6 mo]

      Do large companies subscribe to most of these dbs?

      How do agents fit into DL reference services?

      Is not the peer to peer model a different economic model than those we discussed?

      Are not publishers (e.g., Elsevier) are creating DLs and controlling the economics?

  1. DL Design

 

Can we ‘design’ DLs?  What are the distinguishing factors in a ‘new’ DL and a DL that emerges from physical libraries?  Corporate records systems?  Publishers?  Educational institutions?  The research community?  Community services?  Government?

Must DL development be organic and iterative?
