TRLN: Beyond Print Task Group
The Task Group reports to the Beyond Print Steering Committee and is charged to collect and analyze the following:

1. Yankee Book Peddler approval plan data to determine:

  • subject areas where member libraries have purposely duplicated print purchases, since these may be ideal candidates for applying a price multiplier for e-books
  • overlap in print purchasing by publisher to identify potential publisher or vendor partners
  • subject areas unique to individual campuses, to sample for consortial demand

2. TRLN interlibrary loan and circulation data as indicators of the amount of consortial demand for unique purchases

3. TRLN e-book acquisitions data to determine:

  • the scope of current duplication of e-book purchases
  • e-book usage data for the four institutions

4. E-book vendor and publisher title lists to determine the potential number of print purchases that could be made in e-only

5. Existing e-book business models and licensing terms to identify those that prevent or complicate sharing or are unsustainable for our budgets
