Applicability of Evidence-based Acquisition Model to Collection Development in Engineering Subjects

Abstract: This study presents the results of local implementation of evidence-based acquisition (EBA) models from several publishing vendors. The combination of decreasing funds for engineering monographs and a new library strategic goal of maximizing campus wide access to library collections, forced the engineering librarians to pilot alternative acquisition models that offer access to as much content as possible within the reduced budget. We identified criteria applicable to EBA model assessments and the limitations o… Show more

“…After evaluations based on usage, the CRC EBA model was deemed unsuccessful, and canceled. 19 This literature review reveals that academic libraries and consortia, in their search of e-book acquisition solutions, have had similar experiences using EBA models. Usage statistics, material type, unit price, and library budget considerations were the main factors used in reaching decisions regarding a model's overall feasibility and viability.…”

“…Case Western Reserve Üniversitesinde mühendislik disiplinleri için çeşitli EBA modelleri ile bütçenin daha verimli kullanılması ve içerik erişiminin artırılması amaçlanmıştır. Uygulanan üç EBA modelinin karşılaştırılması yapılmış mühendislik alanında başarılı olan programların devam edebileceği başarısız olarak kabul edilen programların ise durdurulabileceği belirtilmiştir (Solomon ve Gray, 2018).…”
