Abstract
This session is a Discussion Session led by the presenter. Publishers "Big Deals" were supposed to give libraries access to large title sets at economically feasible pricing. However, if the collection does not meet the library patrons' needs (based on usage statistics), and subscription requirements are inflexible, how and when does the deal become untenable?
Learning Objectives
Analyze publishers' "big deals" based on usage data (from publisher as well as google analytics) and overlap analysis, and to evaluate cost per use vs cost per title
