The digital marketplace for academic content is creating new opportunities for publishers, libraries, and the university’s academic leadership to develop transformative academic, business, and technology services to cost-effectively address the educational needs of our communities. The California State University (CSU) has been implementing its Digital Marketplace and Affordable Learning Solutions initiatives and has demonstrated a variety of strategies that other university programs, libraries, and publishers can adapt for their organizations. The presentation will review these two initiatives along with examples from specific projects about how the CSU has:
- Partnered with Nature Publishing Group to produce an interactive digital textbook in 9 months, sells it at about 25% of the price of the leading print textbook, and provides with some revolutionary terms and conditions,
- Partnered with digital textbook providers to provide lower cost access to by renting/subscribing to digital textbooks that include terms and conditions that are attractive to students and meet university requirements for accessibility (e.g. services for students with disabilities)
- Supported CSU faculty authoring digital course materials/textbooks by working with businesses that provide authoring tools as well as authoring support services
- Deployed a variety of innovative library technologies that are focused on "patron driven" service models which change the way collection development and reference services can be delivered
- Integrated the technologies of the library management services and learning management services to better serve the teaching and learning needs of our students and faculty in cost-effective ways.
The presentation will conclude with recommendations for universities to revise their academic, business, and technology strategic plans for the new visions of education in a digital world.
