Spanish ISBN Agency: trying to decipher its privatization

The Government of Spain, as well as many other countries, has initiated a series of privatizations of public sector entities in order to reduce the volume of deficit is a drag on our country (and thus English companies) at the time of obtaining financing in international markets. The partial privatization of AENA and State Lotteries have been the big protagonistras the new package of measures Executive Chairman Rodriguez Zapatero, for his role in the economy of the country because its profitability and sale to the private sector can bring some 14000 million euros in public funding.

However, there has been a privatization that has gone largely unremarked in the media and therefore public opinion, but is of crucial importance in the book world: the privatization of the English Agency ISBN. I'll try to figure out what are the consequences of the measure.

As it appears in the media, the English ISBN Agency in 1972, when its management was granted by the international agency ISBN, based in London. By then, the ISBN (International Standard Book Number) was already an ISO standard, the ISO 2108 since 1970. English ISBN Agency was public, and the Franco government did so to control and exercise publications censor role.

Once through dictatorship and democracy having come to Spain with the Constitution of 1978, the English ISBN Agency remained public until now, of course, and not hold any censorship, but simply the provide a "DNI" to books.

So why privatize? According to the FGEE (Federation of English Publishers') is to normalize their situation, as in other countries, agencies are managed by associations of publishers and their ISBN catalogs are commercial in nature. This aspect is true. There is more to see the Portal of the International Agency ISSN Agency, which is not public consultation. Its database, in principle, can only be accessed by industry professionals and their clients (for public libraries), and access to the same charges. For example, to the query from a single computer, IP authentication, you must pay 830 euros. And for access from a single Z.39.50 computer, IP authentication, you have to enter Euro 1040. (The price list you have it in this link). The same applies to the catalog of periodicals Ulrichweb, by Serials Solutions.

Therefore, publishers are demanding something that they feel is theirs, as in other countries. However, what we have discussed in the previous paragraph only refers to access to the database (so far in our country is free). We must also take into account the cost of obtaining an ISBN number. Until July 1, 2011 will remain free. Thereafter, you will pay for it. The FGEE says to get the ISBN will not have a significant cost, only about three euros per issue. In any event far from the 160 euros they can get charged for a single ISBN number, or the 54 euros charged to the editor asking for the first time an ISBN.

already know that, as in other services such as electricity, public transport, etc., Begin with good intentions and then no one remembers them and the prices rise like yeast. But if it were only 3 euros, when multiplied by 75000 annuals (spoken elsewhere of 95,000), would have annual revenue of 2.25 billion euros. I do not know what the costs of followed by the English ISBN catalog, but it seems that this is an interesting number.

are detractors from the publishers themselves to this privatization. This is the case of Jorge Ruiz, head of the editorial Sirius, which considers any unnecessary privatization seems bad news. Besides that leaves the door open to further charges, for consultation or excessive costs for obtaining an ISBN as mentioned above.

addition, the head of Sirius said the guild might be interested publishers try to obstruct the DTP with the privatization of the English agency ISBN. Or maybe at least make some revenue from desktop publishing new authors carried out through Bubok or Lulu. In fact, the costs of getting an ISBN number for people who self-publish will be somewhat higher than 3 euros and which it says Miguel Jimenez (now director of the English ISBN Agency) self-publishers require greater attention and initially unaware of the operation of the system, which does not happen with publishers.

is not a minor groin problem since ISBN is indispensable for a work can be sold in department stores, or available in public libraries and, of course, to be present in the largest database of books in the world, the ISBN.

It has also to be considered a trivial issue at all: the different versions of the same work require different ISBNs, which require different ISBNs for the format hardcover, pocket, librino (recently appeared ), to which we must add the various electronic formats.

With all these data, lack of insurance and many others who know, the privatization of the English ISBN Agency seems a concession to the English publishers in these times of crisis. Moreover, knowing that the State has savings through privatization under a million euros.

The debate over whether the weight of the public sector has to be more or less going to be eternal, and is exacerbated in times of crisis. But no less interesting (perhaps only a coincidence) that the latest report of the prestigious KPMG Consulting has a wolf as a cover. A wolf that seems to follow the trail of a tired and wounded moose (public sector) after a long cold winter, and just waiting for prey to wear a little more to deal a deadly attack. For the case of a private company, not surprising that KPMG advised that the public sector outsources part of their public services to private companies as the best measure to not only reduce costs but also improve efficiency.

As we see the privatization of the English ISBN Agency beyond its own area and has a greater significance and importance. However, only its consequences and the book publishing industry and deserve our full attention and will be very interesting to see how the operation of the Agency.

I await your opinions. A cordial greeting. Merry Christmas!

The university libraries in the United Kingdom to

turbulent in recent years, we have seen how the economic crisis and its consequences know no countries or institutions, or companies, or any other distinction.

However, the tense situation even more (if possible) when the capacities of research and development of a country is at risk. This is what is happening with the university libraries in the UK, as it appears in a news The Wall Street Journal .

The British government of Prime Minister David Cameron has launched a series of demanding reforms to achieve a drastic reduction of public deficit. These measures include a reduction of 40% of public funds provided to the university. To compensate for this measure, starting next year the amount of tuition fees will triple, which has provoked an intense unrest among young Britons, we have seen in the many Recent demonstrations have taken place in central London.

Amid this gloomy picture, there are the British university libraries, with increasing budgetary constraints and an uncertain future. And to make matters worse, scientific publishers will require an increase of 3 to 6% of subscriptions to scientific journals. This has already begun to be terminated by the university and research libraries, which have made a statement calling on publishers to recognize the reality of the current budget and therefore moderate their prices. Otherwise, the Consortium of Research Libraries Britain has said it will be forced to cancel a large number of subscriptions, which seriously compromise the research capacity of the United Kingdom.

spokesman John Wiley & Sons has recognized the uncertain future which follows on the financing of the libraries, because of the economic downturn. At the same time, believes that these statements public libraries are an effective tool for negotiation (as a way to downplay the reality of recent years, with constant price increases.) Then pledged that Wiley will work with customers to save reductions budget and stated that they have a history of similar commitments.

Reed Elsevier spokesman also pledged to work with libraries in the United Kingdom and said that trying to reduce the cost thereof by the transfer of print subscriptions to electronic.

The world of subscriptions to scientific journals is stormy and complicated, as many of you @ s you know, since the cost reduction over the electronic version of journals is highly debatable, accompanied by the problem of electronic version only requires access to it, not its ownership. Therefore, when a library decides not to renew your subscription to a particular title, no longer has access to both new issues and former (which I signed).

On the other hand, is the purchasing of electronic journals, which reduces the price per journal, but has the disadvantage of integrating with relevant journals and magazines as minor. Perhaps in another post took up this theme of electronic subscriptions, which is very extensive and complicated.

The key to the problems of university and research libraries is in the affirmation of the media analyst Claudio Aspesi: not can take as eternal prices increased faster than the budget of the customers . Mr. Aspesi believes that the subscription rates for electronic packages have been growing faster than annual inflation at around 4.5 and 5.5%. This situation could be maintained only with great difficulty, in years of economic boom. In fact, the Consortium SCONUL (Society of College, National and University Libraries) increased their spending at a rate of 4% per annum between 2004 and 2008. However, as the economic outlook has worsened, the problem has surfaced in all its harshness.

In any case, there is a problem that only affects the United Kingdom, is a global problem that concerns all European countries (of course, also in Spain), United States, also including China, where a group of more than 30 librarians from the best universities country have reported that some publishers are proposed price increases above 14%, following increases of 10% over the last three years. And we know that China's economy is not exactly in crisis. But such increases are unassumable, even for the largest emerging economy.

libraries are always in a crisis situation. However, namely libraries research university and not long ago were in such a complicated situation, as we said before, not only compromises the future of their collections, but also the research and development of countries. We will have to follow the evolution of this problem, and that its resolution does not appear to be close or be easy, given the conflicting interests.

Librino complicated future: renewing the traditional book

To my knowledge, has been talking about it, at least two weeks. And me with so little time, if the damn time. But he would not let the opportunity to talk about it because I found a very interesting new shows that much remains to be invented in the book, in the paper.

do not intend to say anything that it does not know, because there was much talk these days previous. Just to show the aspects that seem more attractive.

one hand, it is curious that the main innovation of this book has to do with something we've been right under our noses for so long. Had to be a Dutch press devoted to religious texts, Jongbloed, which realized the enormous potential space-saving accounted for Bible paper, and decided to extend the Bibles and books of psalms to other literary topics.

The combination of low weight bible paper with landscape layout of the pages and small size (it fits in the back pocket of a pair of jeans), converted to a format librino really innovative. And besides, the price is very competitive librino, ten euros (9.95 to be exact), which can compete with the large format, even with the form of pocket.

Ediciones B has been the publisher has acquired the exclusive right librino format for Spain to Jongbloed. And seeing the success of the Netherlands, which has sold 400,000 copies in one year, the prospects seem pretty good for the English market.

no doubt will be very interesting what will be the evolution of librino, how it will achieve a niche and how you will get it. In any case, it seems to come and take the site to anyone just coming to add. Probably, who may suffer more if this format is extending the pocket book because it seems natural competitor and librino format is smaller and more comfortable to read on the subway or bus. The librino looks more like a book "Battle", unlike the big book, hardcover, we acquired when we read and retain title.

Perhaps interesting to know if you can cope with the e-books, which can carry around, but they occupy more space and need a comfortable place (at least to sit) to be read. Who said that the traditional book was finished? The book and librino are here to stay for long.

If you want to hear the interview he did Citizen Garcia Ricardo Artola (editorial director of Ediciones B) on "This sounds to me in RNE" can do it in the podcast that can be reached with this link (it is the entire program on December 3, the interview starts at the half-hour program.)

Hope you like it. Greetings.

E-books and public libraries: the Growing Pains

Libraries, especially public libraries, trying to keep pace with the times to keep up and continue to provide the useful service for generations have given to the community. However, the present moment does not seem the most propitious, all are obstacles to the traditional apathy of the majority of the authorities and ignorance on the part of the population of public library service (due in large part to the above), have joined the drastic budget cuts due to the economic crisis. The article today will bring about new contradictions that are appearing.

In the UK try to overcome all these difficulties and a third of public libraries already offer an e-book service. His arrival is a good opportunity to attract new readers as well as retain existing customers who are too busy or sick to visit the library during opening hours. The electronic book system in place seems very advantageous: the user downloads the book you want so remotely, using your library card and PIN. In addition, the client does not even have to remember when he called the book, the eBook is automatically deleted from your mail reader after it is over the loan period.

But this new development is bringing new problems. Apparently there have been unauthorized downloads from latitudes as far away as China. This has led to the Publishers Association (PA, Publishers Association) advise that libraries may have to prohibit users from downloading books remotely, and would have to go to the library facilities download the ebook.

This situation, while it is down at a time when public libraries are trying to innovate in their struggle for survival, makes the concept of the eBook.

The most interesting part is that the company (Overdrive, based in Cleveland) that provides the electronic book considers the Publishers Association is making a desert of a grain of sand, they claim that the cases illegal downloads have been isolated incidents against which action has been taken within 24 hours after it was found. Your system has controls to ensure that libraries providing electronic books available only to users of its restricted geographical area.

Also, how could it be otherwise, libraries are working to uphold the law and, although they have received requests to become members of people in China and New Zealand, have always rejected such requests.

Instead, the Publishers' Association continues to advocate that it must ensure that there is a serious threat to commercial publishers. And, just in case of disabled persons, libraries and publishers arbitrary way for these customers could access the e-book lending remotely.

As the novelist says Nick Harkaway, editorials restrictions are something completely useless. If the e-book loan involves some risk but also the loan of printed books have them as a book can be scanned in minutes.

There is also another problem: the authors receive six pence for each loan from one of his printed books, while not receiving any remuneration for the lending of their books in electronic version. This means more work to electronic collections have read the works and current, coupled with fears of publishers.

end

Hopefully common sense prevails (something that rarely happens, by the way) and public libraries to keep pace with technological changes and the customs of society. The opposite would be absurdly cornering public libraries and to prevent access to a increasingly important part of culture to @ s @ s citizenship.

Your system has controls to ensure that libraries providing electronic books available only to users of its restricted geographical area.

Also, how could it be otherwise, libraries are working to uphold the law and, although they have received requests to become members of people in China and New Zealand, have always rejected such requests.

Instead, the Publishers' Association continues to advocate that it must ensure that there is a serious threat to commercial publishers. And, just in case of disabled persons, libraries and publishers arbitrary way for these customers could access the e-book lending remotely.

As the novelist says Nick Harkaway, editorials restrictions are something completely useless. If the e-book loan involves some risk but also the loan of printed books have them as a book can be scanned in minutes.

There is also another problem: the authors receive six pence for each loan from one of his printed books, while not receiving any remuneration for the lending of their books in electronic version. This means more work to electronic collections have read the works and current, coupled with fears of publishers.

end

Hopefully common sense prevails (something that rarely happens, by the way) and public libraries to keep pace with technological changes and the customs of society. The opposite would be absurdly cornering public libraries and to prevent access to a increasingly important part of culture to @ s @ s citizenship.

Digital.CSIC: Scientific results of the 7 Framework Programme open access and eReaders

In August 2008 the European Commission launched its Pilot Open Access for a wide dissemination and visibility of the results of research funded by the Framework Programme 7 (valid until 2013). Under this initiative the articles resulting from research funded by the 7 th Framework Programme should be disseminated in open access after an embargo period. The disciplinary areas involved in this initiative are:

-
Energy - Environment
- Health
- Information Technology and Communication (Cognitive Systems, Interaction, Robotics)
- Research Infrastructures (e-Infrastructures)
- Science in Society
- Social and Economic Sciences and Humanities

research funding agreements between researchers and the European Commission in these areas that have been signed since the launch of Open Access Pilot Project containing a clause specifies that articles resulting of such research must be deposited in an institutional repository (in the case of the CSIC, in Digital.CSIC) within 6 months (Energy, Environment, Health, Information Technologies and Communication, e-Infrastructures) or 12 months (Science in Society, Economics and Social Sciences and Humanities) .

If the item in question was published in a scientific journal Payment Pilot Project expects the post-print version (the copy of the author revised and approved) is deposited in the repository after the period of embargo.

To facilitate the practical implementation of this Pilot Project OA, the European Commission has designed a " form letter" and a "model addendum" to the copyright agreement to be signed by the authors when publishing their work to a publisher. Attached two documents to those CSIC researchers whose research is funded by the Framework Programme 7 using them. Where possible, we recommend that authors try to improve the terms of copyright transfer agreements with publishing houses addenda, a widespread practice today.

also recall the CSIC researchers whose research has been co-financed by the Community of Madrid must deposit the results of their research in Digital.CSIC ( https: / / digital.csic.es / faqs / # fag3 ) as it reads the rules for the purpose of this community.

books in university libraries: electronic or paper

That is the debate today I want to bring across this blog article. And I'll do it through an electronic journal article "Evidence based Library and Information Practice", by Pamela S. Morgan, a librarian dedicated to information resources in the Library of Health Sciences at Memorial University of Newfoundland (Canada). I think it's a very interesting topic, which goes beyond the purely academic and whose conclusions can be transferred to other university libraries.

The emergence of electronic publishing in academic libraries in recent years has been widespread. The move to electronic form is almost completely accepted in the journals. Instead, it is less clear what happens with books.

Different studies carried out so far are contradictory and can be summarized in the following points:

"If the titles of printed books are not very requested by users, their electronic counterparts also have very little use .

-The choice of materials is key when you purchased electronic books have a significant movement.

-

eBooks have a greater circulation than paper, which does not mean they are most read. That is, more query involves more reading. In fact, users typically tend to read in its entirety or at least more pages of printed books to electronic books.

-A comparison of electronic books and printed books about their use is a complicated issue. One reason is that is not well defined what is an electronic use or how to compare it with the circulation of printed books.

This study is referred specifically to the field of Health Sciences, on which there has been little specific studies. This has been done on the Library of Health Sciences, Memorial University of Newfoundland (Canada), who is attending the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Pharmacy, with 1500 students and 130 teachers, which gives us some variables that may differentiate the results and conclusions to be reached in this study compared to the English (though the differences will become increasingly smaller with the European Higher Education Area).

At the time of the study, the lack of a single format when receiving statistics is an obstacle to research. An example of this is that the statistics provided by Ovid only provided data on visits, not unique visitors, unlike the data provided by MD Consult and Stat Ref!, The other two e-book service which is Library subscribes to the University of Alberta.

data printed titles were obtained through loan statistics ILS (Integrated Library Management System) Sirsi Unicorn.

has been shown that, gradually, the use of print titles has declined, reaching a situation where 27% of the texts of study have not been use. The texts used are those of Pharmacy.

regard to the texts in electronic format, its use has increased year by year. The most common by far were the Pharmacy, in part because they are used regularly in a laboratory course.

Majority, the incorporation of the electronic version has not affected the pattern of the same titles in print. So much so that 72% of the printed version of the texts has not shown changes in its use. Has dropped only 6% of the securities. And indeed, increased use of 5% of printed texts. The situation 17% of print titles is questionable, since in recent years its use has varied greatly from year to year as attributable to the acquisition of the electronic version.

an issue that is interesting about this article: how the editors removed some titles for individual purchase, and incorporate them into a database. Thus, if a library wants to purchase these titles, you need to buy access to the database, the greater its cost.

The use of electronic versions of texts seems to continue to grow in the coming years. To this is so, will positively influence the gradual increased familiariedad of students with digital versions, the promotion of librarians through courses of instruction in information literacy and favorable consideration of teachers, whose opinion has much more impact than the librarians.

On the other hand, the acquisition of electronic versions seems to have had little impact on the use of the printed version. Of the 82 titles examined, only 5 appear to have had a lower utilization during the study period, and there has been a steep decline. Therefore, the study says that the versions print still have a place in the field of Health Sciences.

Another aspect to consider, linked above, is the significant decrease in the reserve collection titles. These are texts which demand is high, so you have several copies. The study shows that loans for these securities has declined significantly.

These data indicate that further studies are needed to determine whether the use of case studies is in decline. This requires having a prolonged statistics over a long period of time. Something that does not provide many publishers.

COUNTER statistics provided by could help solve this problem, as they provide a standardized statistics and ensure constant posting of electronic resources from different publishers. However, COUNTER reports for electronic monographs will have more later and do not provide historical data. So while not a single method available for statistics from different vendors, it is impossible to make direct comparisons between e-book packages.

addition, we have the problem of the definition of "use." E-books, each access treated as a loan, without separate reference to the uniqueness of the user (check only one), renewals, chapters used, etc.

Accounting, not access to the title, but by access to a chapter of a book does not seem a good way to measure usage, and that exaggerate the use of electronic books on the circulation of printed texts . A more appropriate measurement system could be through IP addresses, accounting for use by each uninterrupted access to a resource. However, this system is the problem of automatic disconnections made free servers e when it is a long time online. Says it would be interesting to conduct a study on this issue and to clarify what are the most certain evidence of use of an electronic resource.

The conclusions reached by the study are:

- The Library of Health Sciences should continue to purchase electronic books on the topics concerning the scope . Electronic books are widely used and their use continues to grow, unlike printed books, the evolution of the movement is static. In addition, the digital edition has advantages obvious reference to remote use because it allows multiple users to your inquiry. We must also bear in mind that usually updated more regularly than the print edition.

- selection electronic texts (as is the case with the forms) manifests itself as an essential task . Just the fact that a text is in digital format does not imply that it will be consulted. If a printed book is not consulted, the digital version will not be consulted. This directly concerns the choice of e-book packages.

"It is also fundamental promotion of electronic texts by teachers . This important factor can be complemented by the work of instruction and reference librarians.

"Given the low use of reserve collections once you have the electronic version suggested allocating economic resources to the acquisition of electronic texts, rather than printed texts . This is especially meant for general reference texts (especially when it comes to texts whose consultation is selective, ie the user wants to read a specific chapter, not the entire book) for subjects by students. They expect every time Moreover, as evidence of the reserve collection are available electronically.

"Anyway, the importance of printed books can not be ignored . Despite the acquisition of the electronic version, using the printed edition is remaining stable, as we said before.

"In any case, the apparent low overall use of the print collection and accessibility of electronic texts indicate that electronic texts have to replace much of the printed books . It is considered necessary to conduct a comprehensive review of the print collection to confirm that the low use is generalized to the entire collection and, therefore, take steps to fully develop the electronic monograph collection.

What Happens If I Swallow A Fish Bone

The Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain submitted yesterday, November 4, the book entitled Preventive conservation and disaster management plan in archives and libraries.
This work, coordinated by Carmen Hidalgo and who have contributed a large number of professionals, offers a clear and simple information on the measures to a library or archive of average size can be implemented without great cost to the conservation of heritage custody.
The book has been published in paper but also published in electronic free access through the website of IPCE, thus available to all professionals
a very useful working tool: http://www.calameo.com/read/00007533559904d38d748
The document is divided into three sections and includes a literature. In the first part describes the components involved in the impairment of documentary and bibliographic materials in the second describes all the features of each of the types of documents and the third develops the contents of the Management Plan disasters. All accompanied with drawings of Jesus Herrrera and a significant number of photographs.

I think will be a very useful working tool for librarians and archivists, and we all find in it an answer to our questions.
