I am delighted to announce that JSTOR has introduced a new ebook acquisition model: Evidence-Based Acquisition (EBA). We worked closely with libraries and consortia to develop this new offering, gathering feedback through a pilot program, surveys, and ebook forums.
Evidence-Based Acquisition offers access to more than 25,000 high-quality backlist titles from 35 publishers for a set upfront fee. After one year of unlimited access, you can select titles to acquire for perpetual access, using the usage data as a guide. This model can help you meet the research needs of your patrons while controlling costs, simplifying workflows, and incorporating both usage data and librarian expertise in your acquisition strategy. The libraries that participated in our pilot saw a very good cost per use for this model.
To learn more, please join me for a 30-minute webinar for an overview of the Evidence-Based Acquisition model. The webinar will be recorded, so if you can't make it to the live session, you can sign up and receive a link to the recording after the webinar.
