Electronic publisher Alexander Street Press has forged an agreement with Jisc to provide access to video resources for colleges and universities in the UK using the publisher's popular evidence-based acquisition (EBA) model.
The EBA agreement gives colleges and universities in the UK the opportunity to have unlimited access to Alexander Street Press' complete suite of academic video titles - more than 33,000 titles - for up to one year at a time. At the end of this period, university staff can use Alexander Street Press’ detailed metrics to evaluate their patrons' most-viewed titles and select those they'd like to incorporate into their permanent collection.
This agreement is the result of heightened interest in EBA; following agreements made in 2013 with the University of Dundee and Leeds Metropolitan University, and will further pave the way for libraries worldwide to add the most highly sought-after content to their collections in a precise, cost-effective way.
