E-books and research technology provider ebrary, US, and long-time partner YBP Library Services, a Baker & Taylor company, have announced the launch of an integrated Demand Driven Acquisition model that may be used in conjunction with Short Term Loans. The new programme enables libraries to cost-effectively and efficiently provide patrons with access to vast amounts of information through their existing YBP workflow and only purchase e-books that are used.
Participating libraries may use YBP's advanced profiling to automatically select appropriate ebrary content for their Demand Driven Acquisition programme, with complete duplication control across all YBP services and consolidated invoicing from YBP. Custom MARC records are provided, and titles are tracked in YBP's GOBI.
YBP and ebrary are currently testing integrated Demand Driven Acquisition and Short Term Loans with select libraries. The service will be extended to all YBP customers at the end of April 2011. For more information please email sales@ebrary.com.
YBP Library Services provides books and supporting collection management and technical services to academic, research and special libraries in the Americas, Asia, Middle East, Australia and the Pacific Rim. Its online, interactive bibliographic information service, GOBI3, provides access to 4 million titles in an English language database.
