Enhance Your Library with an Evidence Based Acquisition (EBA)
With our Evidence Based Acquisition (EBA) model you can order eBooks with confidence by making purchasing decisions based on 12 months usage data from your patrons. All eBooks are DRM free and available to an unlimited number of users. Contact us today to discuss further.
How EBA works
We will help you determine your initial deposit, giving your institution access to a curated list of titles tailored to your needs. This deposit unlocks access to a significantly larger pool of content—often worth many times your deposit value—for 12 months. You might choose eBooks with high denials or specific subjects that require further investment or that you would like to experiment with.
During this time, your patrons can access the expanded content pool with no restrictions. We’ll collect usage data throughout the period, which can be sent to you monthly, quarterly, or on request. You also have the option to pull your own data as needed.
At the end of the EBA, you’ll use 100% of your initial deposit to select the most valuable titles for perpetual ownership. We will help you choose the titles that best meet your institution’s needs, ensuring you get long-term value from your investment.
