The Digital Stacks Ecosystem with Transformative Controlled Digital Lending (DRM)

The Digital Stacks Ecosystem represents a new digital age model for accessing scholarly content in academic and public libraries that is so effective at maximizing its usefulness to students, scholars and researchers that it is compelled to replace lost revenue of the creators and providers of the libraries’ scholarly content (authors and publishers), which it can do quite effectively.

HotLinks Research & Study Tools with transformative Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) provide overwhelming justifications to digitize, while KAT Stacks’ virtual reality browsing facility, also with CDL, offers 24/7 virtual access to your stacks. Thousands of existing KIC systems in academic and research libraries across the US and Canada support newly released high-speed whole book digitization options that allow up to four whole books to be digitized in an hour with bookmarks and other ADA features. New, highly transformative Controlled Digital Lending (CDL) technologies for local and interlibrary lending interconnect digitized library print collections in ways never before thought possible, allowing thousands of libraries to share in the digitization effort, reducing the cost to about 1% of existing academic and research library budgets.

Digital Reserves Lending
$10 per college student per year pays for all digitization costs and all technology necessary to provide full access to all content in all higher education libraries via HotLinks Study/Research Tool & KAT Stacks, in compliance with DMCA, specifically section 108.

A Highly Optimized Monograph Strategy

Before moving a book to off-site storage, it should be digitized for content, especially with new KIC options that allow 2 - 4 books per hour to be digitizes. And as a member of the Digital Stacks Project, a library with 250,000 books need only allocate a few staff workers for a few months to digitize its share.

On-site/Storage/Donate Description - Explanation
On-site for the foreseeable future Reference, current reserves, and vary frequently checked out monographs - copyright law allows unlimited digital copies to be made from an original
Candidates for off-site storage Infrequently checked out, but possible future reserves
Off-site as needed to recover floor space Books that haven't been checked out for numerous years, but may have been reviewed in the library by faculty and researchers - many of these books have value, but are rarely found using typical bibliographic record searches and print collection browsing, and can be found with HotLinks Study & Research Tools and KAT Stacks virtual browsing.
Donate or trade Duplicates of books that haven't been checked out for numerous years

Note also that culling the stacks substantially can increase their popularity. It is difficult to get digital age students to browse the stacks, and if they do not find relevant and/or interesting books on their visit, it may be their last. Culling 75% of the least popular monographs increase the chances of a successful visit by up to 100%.

Digital Age Academic Library

It can be said that the digital age began in the 1980s. However, it wasn’t until the Web began providing good answers to myriad questions, easily and virtually instantly that the perceived value of library print collections began to decline. Today, the value locked in academic library print collections can be unleashed with HotLinks, the Digital Stacks Project and the many millions of already digitized scholarly items.

Offsite Storage

Benefits:

Dramatically Increased Digital Content

Virtually all content, copyrighted and free, is accessible digitally, instantly, while inside the library via HotLinks. Outside the library, students and researchers can easily purchase the content they found using hotlinks, thus increasing publisher revenue by pushing the cost to the patrons who want access outside the library and will buy only what they want. The result: the library spends less and provides Substantially more value, patrons with a budget, purchase what they choose to, while patrons without a budget have free access while in the library (the fundamental reason libraries exist), and publishers support the new model because HotLinks promotes more sales.

eReserves → Self-serve

A large percentage of eReserves can be switched to self-service by placing a KIC digitization kiosk next to reserves bookcases. The same can be done for high-use items, including reference materials, allowing for unlimited copies of excerpts of no more than 10% of each volume to be scanned during each user visit, in compliance with copyright law. Self-service reserves are also a solid benefit.

substantially Reduced Print Collections Areas

Books that are rarely accessed are moved to storage. The remaining actively accessed books are placed near high speed self-service digitization kiosks allowing for unlimited digital copies with no digital rights costs.

Dramatically Increased Study/Collaborate Space

Much more study/collaborate & research space is needed to support the substantial increase in value the library provides to its patrons while they are in the library.

KAT Stacks Provides a visual ‘virtual reality’ browsing experience with the option to browse all books in one complete collection, including special collections, offsite storage and high use bookshelves in self-service digitization areas.

DSE Content Servers

For Compliance with the 1998 Copyright Act

DSE Content Servers hold copyrighted content in digital form, and serve that content instantly, on-demand to library patrons for Controlled Digital Lending, and in addition, for compliance with Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 section 108. DSE Content Servers ensure that only one item is lent per item owned, while MyDocs terminates viewing when the library-specified lending time expires.

While DLSG is not the only provider of copyright-compliant digital lending technologies to academic libraries (see Digital Content Lending solutions), DLSG maintains a conservative stance regarding compliance with copyright law. For example, DLSG solutions include digital fence technology for allowing access to selected content only while inside the library.

The purchasing institution can choose an on-site DSE Content Server or a cloud-based server, at its discretion.

Choosing DLSG’s cloud-based version of its DSE Content Servers does not change the initial price for the first year, and this includes the monthly cloud service fees for the first year at no additional cost.
Note: The Digital Stacks Project was created to fill a global peer network of DSE Content Servers with copyrighted content for patrons to access with full Digital Rights Management using KAT Stacks and HotLinks Study & Research Tools. These servers can also be limited to a university’s students, faculty and researchers. Note also that these servers can take input from other sources (e.g. Hathi Trust, Internet Archive)
If the customer chooses to continue using the cloud-based DSE Content Server after the first year, then each additional year is charged at $300 for software maintenance, including free updates, plus an annual fee for cloud services, paid in advance, which is currently $695 per year per server and is provided by Microsoft through DLSG (Microsoft Azure Cloud Services).
