The first workshop took place on 21 August 2012, the second meeting was on 9th November 2012 and the final meeting was on 27th February 2013

This project has strong relevance to a project that I will be contributing to called E-BASS25 (http://ebass25.rhul.ac.uk/).
It will be looking at the issues surrounding e-book acquisition by library consortia, with a particular emphasis on PDA. We’ll be focussing on business models and how they may work in a consortial context, but also looking the practicalities of managing consortial e-books as a shared service, e.g. integrating with library systems, providing metadata and so on.
My role in the E-BASS25 project is to produce a ‘landscape and context report’ which will
• Review current business models for (academic) library e-books, including PDA, with a particular emphasis on models for consortia
• Include a set of use-case studies of the use of PDA by individual libraries and consortia
• Consider issues around the long-term sustainability / affordability of PDA for libraries (and publishers)
This will be set within the context of a review of the wider e-book landscape, looking briefly at the potential impact on the library e-book market of market trends (e.g. Amazon, Apple), digitization projects (Google Books, Hathi Trust etc), and technologies (e.g. mobile readers).

I see a close linkage with the OER project we have here at Newcastle University, looking at new ways of working with publishers, and new business models for providing and sharing both open and commercially published content.
http://www.medev.ac.uk/ourwork/oer/publishoer/
We feel that the current business models for use of eBook content must be challenged if students and staff are to get the content they need, when they need it, in ways best for them to consume it, allowing for novel mashups of content. Libraries and HEIs need to find new ways of working with publishers to ensure they are able to afford the most appropriate content to support staff and students in both learning and teaching and research under ever tighter budgetary constraints. Publishers need to find new ways to make money from their valuable content, in a quickly shifting world where the print paradigm is becoming increasingly difficult to support in the digital environment.

Additional key aspects that I am interested in is to understand how these artefacts can morph even further to support developmental learning, research and knowledge building.
How can we work strategically to bring about support for new forms of creative publishing ventures-collaborative hybrid products and services from new partnerships and business models.
New workflows and infrastructures needed to supported far quicker publication and co- creation. More disaggregation and reaggregation for reuse in different contexts.
