Document property
Mixed model
• Collaborative collection– Collective ownership
– Institutions create bailments of their documents
– Conditional bailment: institutions can‟t recover their documents if GEPA can‟t find the same document among the other institutions.
• Cooperative collection– The library maintains the property, determines
conditions for use, pays the cost
Collaborative collection
• We keep a number of copies per document type – In most cases: one item
– In certain cases: more than one
• Once GEPA receives the determined the number of copies:– Libraries may withdraw their copies
– Except if someone has a better copy than the one preserved in the GEPA.
Services
• Documents in the collaborative collection can
be used in three ways:
1. Preferred: e-prints
2. Optional: reading room
3. Last: ILL
• Documents in the cooperative collection may
be used under the rules and conditions
established by the owning institution
Types of loads and cost model
A1 Collaborative documents, ordinary load
• Load = 0 Maintenance = 0
A2 Collaborative documents, special loads
• Load = X? Maintenance = 0
B Cooperative collection
• Load= X Maintenance = X
