[Eril-l] Carnegie Classifications

[Arndt,Theresa]

Hi Chris,

>From JSTOR:  "Your archival journal collection fees are based on your classification. There are five classification tiers, from Very Large to Very Small. JSTOR's classifications for colleges and universities are modeled from the Carnegie Classifications<http://classifications.carnegiefoundation.org/>."

If you participate with Lyrasis or some other large consortia, I suggest you speak to those reps about the implications, as they work with pricing for many vendors and many different libraries.

We are strictly undergraduate, so I cannot speak to your second question.

- Best, Theresa

Subject: [Eril-l] Carnegie Classifications

I've got a few questions related to some recent conversations at my institution:


1.      Does anyone know of vendors that construct their pricing tiers based in part on Carnegie Classification? I know there are some out there, but I'm not sure which ones right off hand.

2.      Do any of you have experience working at an institution that has moved from one Carnegie Class to another? If so:

a.      What impact did that have on pricing levels for existing resources?

b.      What impact did it have on collection levels for new higher-research programs?

Thanks!
