70% of students prefer printed textbooks to electronic ones
Electronic library systems are gradually being integrated into the educational environment of universities. The results, problems and prospects for the development of the ELS were discussed at a discussion held at the Russian National Library as part of the conference "Funds of Libraries in the Digital Age".
EBS: trends 2013
The growth of the market for electronic library systems has now stalled. New players do not appear, work begins on the quality of resources. Universities figured out what ELS is and found solutions that are convenient for themselves by entering into long-term contracts with suppliers.
Describing the situation on the electronic content market, the experts noted that many universities have significantly increased the book collections that form the ELS (for example, at the expense of university publications that were previously inaccessible to online users). Sergey Ivanov, commercial director of EBS "IPRbooks", noted that the direction of the content has also changed: there has been a transition from the humanities to technical specialties, as well as to construction and architecture.
There are subscribers, no activity
However, electronic library systems have not yet become an important tool in the educational life of the university. Most teachers and students do without electronic resources or do not attach importance to them.
“There are universities where, on average, there are 8 books per student, this is a very high figure. In other universities, there are 0.01 books per student. A colossal gap of 800 times,” Konstantin Kostyuk commented on the situation, CEO LLC "Direct-media".
The inefficient use of electronic resources by universities is also confirmed by Galina Shamatonova, director of the library of the Yaroslavl State University: “By the beginning of 2014, about 1,000 users were registered in the ELS “University Library Online” - 10% of the total number of students and teachers.” The situation is similar in the region as a whole. For example, in the Yaroslavl Medical Academy in 2013, 500 access cards to the ELS “Student Advisor” were distributed to students and teachers, and only 217 of them were activated.
According to a study conducted by Yaroslavl librarians, only 11% of the students surveyed use electronic textbooks, while 70% of students lean towards the traditional printed version. Universities themselves also hinder the development of electronic libraries by purchasing paper textbooks, according to which teachers build the educational process.
The publishers believe that the task of attracting students to the use of ELS should fall on the shoulders of universities. Without the popularization of electronic resources in educational institutions, statistics will not change for the better.
From general to specific
An important trend of the past year is the targeted acquisition of university subscriptions. Such an approach becomes necessary if the university is serious, and not "for show" to use the resources of the EBS. Spot acquisition allows you to select the relevant industry textbooks and spend less money than subscribing to one basic collection, the content of which will be used inefficiently.
Thanks to a targeted approach to recruitment, in 2013 smaller universities were able to rise to the same levels in book lending as large institutions that purchase large subscriptions.
Forecasts
Experts described the changes that await the EBS market as a knockout game. A large number of players will cause intense competition, because the market, which is 400 million rubles, accounts for 15 electronic library systems. The expected development scenario is price struggle and redistribution of market shares. The mentioned tendencies will be exacerbated by university optimization: the desire to buy more for less money. It is important to remember that the main thing in these business competitions is not to lose the quality of Russian educational content.
Standards and certification
So that competition does not turn into unfair and does not lead to the imitation of high-quality resources, it is necessary to form industry standards, create professional public examination and certification. The concept of quality should be the same for everyone - representatives of the publishing community are convinced.
Librarians agree with them: the interest of students in the use of electronic resources will depend on the actual content and convenience of electronic library systems.
Summarizing the discussion, we can conclude that all participants in the book market should join the struggle for quality. Universities need to turn ELS into a real, not a formal element of the educational process, and publishers and aggregators need to take care of creating high-quality ELS with up-to-date licensed content, a workable platform, and interactive services.
The electronic library system of the Lan publishing house is a resource created to provide universities with the necessary educational and scientific literature in specialized areas. The ELS includes both electronic versions of books published by the Lan publishing house and collections of full-text files from other publishers and is constantly updated with new editions.

This norm was enshrined in the order of the Ministry of Education and Science dated June 7, 2010 No. 588, which prescribes the need for an ELS for licensing university educational programs. Today we are discussing various aspects of ELS implementation directly with the buyers - universities.
The interlocutors of the "UK" were offered the following topics:
. the main criteria for choosing an ELS supplier, a reasonable price for the service;
. preferred content delivery formats;
. the need for additional technical equipment for libraries;
. the main problems associated with the introduction of EBS and the order of the Ministry of Education and Science No. 588, pre-
provisions and recommendations to market participants.

Vladimir Yakovlevich EPP, First Vice-Rector for academic work Tomsk State Pedagogical University
When choosing an EBS supplier, the main selection criteria for us are, first of all, compliance with the requirements of the order of the Ministry of Education and Science dated 07.06.2010 No. 588, then the price and completeness of the assortment in accordance with the areas of study of university students.
The question of the price should be addressed to the founder who finances the work of the university and, in particular, the library. A reasonable price would be about 50% of the funds allocated to the university for the acquisition of the library fund. Today, the ratio of prices on the market and funding of libraries is such that the average university has to choose between signing an agreement with ELS and buying textbooks on paper.
The purchase of content is more preferable for the library when choosing an ELS. Acquisition of access requires significant annual financial costs. At the same time, the resource of the library is not increased. The library loses autonomy and becomes dependent on ELS providers in the conditions of an unsettled service market. Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of 07.06.2010 No. 588, naturally, encourages the university to connect to one of the existing EBS.
Unfortunately, the filling capacity of the EBS presented on the market does not meet the requirements of this order. A significant disadvantage is the high price, the fullness of obsolete publications, the practical absence of literature with the stamps of UMO and NMS, the poor representation of classical educational publications used in educational process and recommended by the UMO for studying at the university.
The educational process uses modern textbooks from different publishers, which, as a rule, do not transfer their publishing rights to various aggregators. Acquiring content from publishers completely is expensive and unjustified, the entire range will not be in demand.
Our library will require additional technical equipment for the implementation of ELS.
The most acute are, first of all, the problems of financing.
The legislator needs to soften the requirements for EBS. The requirement of simultaneous access to each publication included in the electronic library system for at least 25% of students in each of the forms of education seems to be redundant. Aggregators and content producers need to create low-cost universal ELS and specialized ELS, taking into account educational programs and the focus of training specialists (classical university, engineering, medical, pedagogical education, etc.).
It is necessary to provide the university with the opportunity to carry out the formation of content itself, so as not to force the university to connect to an expensive ELS with a huge amount of non-core literature, for example, on medicine, veterinary medicine, books for the training of engineers.

Ekaterina Eduardovna LYUBUSHKO, Director of the Library of the Moscow State Law Academy named after O.E. Kutafina
The main criteria for us are the quality of the content and the completeness of the coverage of the subject area or areas necessary for our university. We need at least 70% of the content to be interesting for our users. A necessary condition is the replenishment of the resource with new content, the prompt replenishment of full-text periodicals is especially important. The EBS interface itself is also important (friendliness, ease of use, etc.) and, of course, the number of services offered to users. It is desirable that the pricing policy of companies representing EBS on the market correspond to the content they offer, and not be clearly overpriced, as is the case in a number of cases.
The price should be determined by the quality of the ELS itself (interface/features/content). And if all these criteria satisfy our users, which is determined by the statistics of using the resource during test access, then the resource will be interesting and important for our university. Then the administration will decide to allocate funds for its acquisition.
Online access to resources is preferable with the subsequent transfer of the archive to the permanent use of the university (the term is usually specified in the contract).
In principle, all the main producers of Russian-language educational resources - eLIBRARY.RU, EastView, University Library Online, Libraries, IQLib - comply with the main provisions of order No. 588. Their products include licensed pure content in the main disciplines, they provide access to all readers, without limiting the number of workplaces and simultaneous connections to documents. MGUA them. O.E. Kutafina has been successfully cooperating with the producers of these resources for several years. We annually acquire access to several electronic full-text and bibliographic resources and plan to further develop this area of work.
One of the shortcomings that exist today is that not all EBS have the ability to provide remote access to the full content of their resource and the necessary registration certificates. But I think that these problems will be solved by companies in the near future.
We are planning to increase computerized places for our users in the reading rooms, as well as to use WiFi technologies to create a Wi-Fi zone on the territory of the Academy, so that our users are not limited geographically to the library premises only. The main problem is that there are not always enough material and technical means for the implementation of the planned.
I think that all interested parties need to conduct a constructive dialogue on any issue related to problems and proposals for information support of educational and scientific-educational activities. Today, this task can be solved only through joint efforts and mutually beneficial cooperation. This will give universities the opportunity to assess and increase their scientific and educational potential, take a strong position and become more competitive in the domestic and international market of educational services.

Olga Romanovna ARUTYUNOVA, Deputy Director of the Fundamental Library of the Moscow City Pedagogical University
When choosing an EBS supplier, the main criteria for us are the completeness of the assortment and the price. For our university, we consider about 60,000 rubles a half-year for a certain collection to be an acceptable price. It is most preferable for us to provide access to online viewing.
Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated June 7, 2010 No. 588 will force us to acquire more collections, various ELS, and also improve the university electronic library. We work with IVIS LLC (East View) and RUNEB LLC. The updated eLibrary portal is the most convenient for users, "User's Guide" 2010 E.M. Polnikova and S.M. Shabanova is a good help to beginners.
Technical equipment will not hurt, but even now our users (25%) can simultaneously use the Virtual Center for Innovative Technologies http//resources.mgpu.ru / through the website of our university.
I recommend that manufacturers of university ELSs familiarize themselves with the Virtual Center for Innovative Technologies of the Moscow State Pedagogical University (City Information Resource Center, director - Rukavishnikov I.V.).

Irina Gennadievna ZHOLOBOVA, head of Acquisition and Cataloging Department of the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University
One of the main criteria when choosing an ELS supplier is the optimization of expenses for the acquisition of educational and educational literature. The most expensive in terms of book supply are general humanitarian, socio-economic, mathematical and natural science disciplines. And, first of all, it is necessary to choose an EBS, which, in terms of the completeness of the assortment, would correspond to the list of recommended textbooks and teaching aids in these disciplines at the university. Another condition that must be met by order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation is the relevance of educational literature. Educational literature on general humanitarian and socio-economic disciplines must be published within the last 5 years, on general mathematical and natural science disciplines - over the last 10 years. I think this criterion will remain for electronic educational literature.
Price when choosing an ELS supplier remains a rather difficult problem for the library. There will always be a transitional stage when introducing new technologies to provide students with electronic educational literature. The library will learn how to optimally redistribute financial resources for the purchase of textbooks in printed and electronic forms. But before developing a price criterion when choosing an EBS supplier, it will be necessary to answer the following questions. How many students would prefer an electronic textbook to a printed textbook? How many titles of electronic textbooks will the teacher include in the list of recommended literature for the discipline? How many items does this or that EBS include in its assortment? How much does it cost to provide access to an e-textbook per year? How many years do you need an electronic textbook to use? The most preferred format for working with content is providing access to online viewing with conditions of convenience and ease of use, the possibility of unlimited access for students and teachers to all books of the selected ELS, at any time, from any workstation of the university and home computers via the Internet.
It can be stated that the Russian book market (in the broadest sense) has New Product- electronic library systems. The transition to the EBS environment is due to scientific and technological progress and is irreversible. This is a huge layer of work that libraries have to do - to develop criteria for selecting ELS suppliers and within two to three years to move into this environment with the most complete coverage of the ELS range and the rational use of funds. Of course we will buy. Thoughtfulness and precise calculation are the main rules when introducing something new.
The choice of providing content through access to online viewing of the resources of the electronic library system will not require additional technical equipment for the Scientific Library of Tomsk State University.
ELS at Tomsk State University began to be created in 2005 and includes a sufficient number of electronic educational publications of our authors. The main problems are the speed of replenishment with new electronic editions and copyright issues.
If you start work on choosing ELS suppliers, then you need to start, as I think, with cooperation with the publishers themselves, which produce both printed and electronic versions of educational and educational publications for higher educational institutions, such as "Academy", "Lan ”, “Infra-M”, “Alpina Business”, etc. This will ensure the gradual and deliberate transition to the EBS environment, the systematic nature of the work. I think that a publishing house that publishes a large number of titles of educational and educational literature needs to create its own ELS. This is a promising and, most importantly, controlled business. But the process of creating an EBS should not be expensive. To do this, legislators need to develop guidelines to create a publishing ELS or to take as a basis the already existing promising software and distribute among Russian publishers free of charge. It is necessary to define the term "Electronic library systems". I recommend legislators to synchronize the order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated 07.06.2010 No. 588 with the allocation of sufficient funding for universities to purchase such an information resource as EBS.

Marina Eduardovna KARPOVA, Deputy Director of the Scientific Library of St. Petersburg State University
When choosing an EBS supplier, in order of importance, we highlight the following criteria.
1. The amount of content and the completeness of the range.
2. A reasonable price based on "one book per user", comparable to the cost of one textbook (about 300 rubles). The cost of access to one electronic publication for a certain number of students should not exceed by several times the cost of purchasing a similar number of paper textbooks for students studying this discipline.
3. Additional services.
For users of St Petersburg University, access to online viewing is convenient. The main disadvantages of existing ELS are the quantity and quality of content, the format of provision (pdf-files) and pricing based on the number of licenses for using one copy.
In connection with the assignment by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of a special status to the St. Petersburg state university Orders of the Ministry of Education and Science are advisory for St Petersburg University. Order No. 588, we hope, will not affect the decision to purchase electronic resources in any way.
Based on the requirements of the order, each university must have thousands of computerized user places. Of course, we will need additional technical equipment.
The main problem in creating an ELS at a university is compliance with the requirements of the 4th part of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. Legislators need to provide legal support for the creation of ELS, which provides for the possibility for universities to form their own ELS within the framework of the current legislation. It is also necessary to focus work with university libraries at the level of large aggregators that take on legal formalities and provide a convenient format for accessing resources. Content producers should carefully study foreign experience in providing access to electronic publications for libraries and avoid attempts to set prices based on the sale of the number of user licenses, i.e. sell "electronic circulation", fearing to lose paper.

Vera Alekseevna SVETLOVA, Director of the Library of the St. Petersburg Academy of Management and Economics
- The main criteria for choosing a resource are the following: the Russian language, the quality of the content (compliance with the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standards and educational programs university), the possibility of partial copying, quoting.
As practice shows, aggregators and users have very different ideas about the “reasonableness” of the price. University libraries live in conditions of constant lack of funding, and therefore the acquisition of access to the resource is accompanied by a big "bargaining".
Basically, the price can be reduced by limiting the period (time) of the subscription, or truncation of the amount of available content. Nevertheless, even under this condition, the price of access is very high. From the experience of communicating with the KnigaFond company, it is not at all clear to me where such prices for services come from, who has the opportunity to purchase them? The assertion of KnigaFond that “it will cover all acquisitions” is somehow not convincing, and the price of 1.5-2.75 million rubles is simply unrealistic for a university library, with all other questions to this organization.
You can talk a lot about innovative technologies in the library, but at the same time remember that no one has canceled the traditional paper book. Therefore, in my opinion, it is very important in this matter to adhere to the principles of reasonableness and gradualness in changing the current acquisition of library collections. As experience shows, it is impossible to go along with regulatory documents to the detriment of quality and accessibility, since basically access to resources is carried out by IP addresses, i.e. within the framework of the subscriber's organization, but this is clearly not enough to ensure the educational process and especially for the independent work of the student outside the university. The provided service, as a rule, allows you to work with the resource for 1-2 hours, since purely physiologically the user cannot fully work on the computer for longer, and we are invited to fully or partially provide the student with electronic texts. There are a lot of questions: both on the interface of the presented content, and on the possibilities of working with it. I think this topic requires separate consideration and discussion with resource providers.
We do not need additional technical equipment, the academy is well equipped.
