THE VALUE OF BACKLIST TITLES If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. Isaac Newton, 1676 A 2016 analysis by a London School of Economics professor revealed that 76% of the 50 most cited social sciences books had been published more than 25 years earlier New research builds on the scholarship that came before it, and JSTOR brings this vast expanse of knowledge together in one place The ease of discovering this backlist monograph content on JSTOR, alongside comprehensive journal backfiles, enables scholars to understand and build upon the history of their fields In a recent analysis of institutions that have activated at least 31,000 ebooks on JSTOR, 84% of the usage was associated to backlist titles with a copyright year of 2014 or earlier Libraries that acquire backlist titles may be able to reduce storage and ILL costs for print copies
BACKLIST DIGITIZATION Partnership with Yale University Press Digitized 152 classic titles never before available electronically Originally published between 1954 and 2004 Disciplines include History, Language & Literature, Political Science, Psychology, and Philosophy Titles are available exclusively through Books at JSTOR We look forward to partnering with other publishers on initiatives to digitize backlist titles

DEMAND-DRIVEN ACQUISITION The Demand-Driven Acquisition model allows libraries to make a large set of high-quality titles available to patrons, but only pay for those that reach a threshold of usage. Seamless User Experience Titles appear just like purchased content to users, and may be viewed and downloaded as if they were already paid for MARC records are available for all titles, and titles can be activated in discovery services A Generous Trigger Triggers are set so that only a high level of intentional usage of a title triggers an acquisition Purchase of perpetual access is triggered when usage reaches 6 chapter views or 4 chapter downloads (whichever occurs first, counted cumulatively across all user sessions) All usage below the trigger is free Perpetual Access Once a title has been triggered, the library has perpetual access to the ebook on JSTOR
DEMAND-DRIVEN ACQUISITION DEFINE YOUR BUDGET, SHAPE YOUR PROFILE JSTOR can provide projections of DDA usage and spending Based on data from institutions with similar usage patterns Takes into account the institution s archive journal usage on JSTOR and the number of titles in the proposed DDA profile Provides library with information to plan for spending or refine profile to the target expenditure Sample projection of DDA costs for one institution
DEMAND-DRIVEN ACQUISITION USAGE DATA TO INFORM COLLECTION STRATEGIES COUNTER BR2 and BR3 reports Weekly DDA usage reports showing chapter views and chapter downloads Weekly statements that list all titles triggered for purchase DDA usage summaries show usage by discipline, publisher, frontlist/backlist, and more Sample Usage Summary report
DEMAND-DRIVEN ACQUISITION GENEROUS TRIGGER, HIGH ROI FOR LIBRARIES Ebook Acquisition Trigger: 6 chapter views or 4 chapter downloads (whichever occurs first, counted cumulatively across all user sessions); this ensures that only a significant amount of usage triggers a purchase More than half of triggered purchases occurred after three or more uses of that ebook More than half of the triggered purchases occurred after being available to library users for five months or more Usage and Acquisition Rates: Among participating libraries, a median of 14% of DDA titles are used and 1% are purchased per year High Post-Purchase Usage: Titles purchased through DDA see an average of 19 chapter views and downloads over the first 12 months of access
