In the CSU system, these packages may be:

  • Part of the Model 3: ECC (negotiated centrally, paid for centrally, systemwide access)
    • Examples, purchased centrally:
      • The former “NetLibrary” package, now hosted in EBSCO ebooks.
      • The more recent systemwide DDA-triggered purchases, hosted on ebrary, myiLibrary, and EBL
    • Examples, subscribed centrally:
      • Safari Tech Books
      • Ebrary Academic Complete
  • Model 2: Opt-ins offered via SDLC (negotiated centrally, but paid for by each campus, local access only)
    • Examples, opt-ins:
      • ACLS Humanities Ebooks
      • Oxford Scholarship Online
  • Model 3: Locally purchased or subscribed (by each campus, outside SDLC, local access only)

Policy Statement

Collections purchased/subscribed centrally (Model 3)

  • If unique to the CSU (i.e. the Netlibrary and ebrary/EBL/myiLiibrary packages mentioned above):  Centrally create electronic collections in the NZ and share with all campuses.
  • If standard packages, not unique to the CSU:
    • ebrary Academic Complete must be managed centrally by sharing its CZ collection in the NZ. This is due to the package's large size and frequent changes in content.
    • DECISION PENDING RE SMALLER PACKAGES LIKE SAFARI depending on analysis of CZ record currency and quality, options include:
        • Active CZ collection in the NZ OR
        • Load records as an electronic collection at the NZ level for sharing (campuses would need to volunteer to maintain)

Collections negotiated centrally but opt-in at the campus level (Model 2)

  • Share their CZ collections in the NZ in the absence of some other provision in the NZ (such as a determination to provide a CSU-maintained NZ collection).

Collections outside SDLC, local-only (Model 1)

  • If the collection is already active in the NZ (for example, because other CSU's have the same package), share the NZ collection.
  • If the collection is not already active in the NZ, the campus may choose among available options:
    • Activate the CZ collection
    • Load records from OCLC Connexion Collection Manager into your IZ and create an local electronic collection
    • Load records directly from the vendor into your IZ and create an local electronic collection
