EBL’s DEMAND DRIVEN ACCESS OPTIONS

Demand-driven access takes advantage of the immediacy of the digital medium…

EBL’s Demand-driven Acquisition enables libraries to make ebooks visible to patrons without

purchasing the titles outright. Titles can then be ‘rented’ or purchased according to pre

defined rules as needed by patrons.

– Access to non-owned either through library OPAC (by loading MARC records) and/or within the EBL platform

– 5 minutes free browsing for non-owned titles

– Beyond the browse period, libraries decide what permissions apply

BLACKWELL 19

EBL’s DEMAND DRIVEN ACCESS OPTIONS

Libraries customize access permissions. Access options available include:

•Mediated Access – • Beyond browse period, patrons can request further access to non-owned titles. • Library Alerted of Request• Libraries can choose to either purchase or rent requested titles.

•Non-mediated short-term loan – • Beyond browse period, patrons automatically trigger a one-time short-term loan (rental) of an ebook. •Automated short-term loans can be price-mediated (i.e. rental over $20 is mediated).

•Auto-purchase – • Auto-purchase triggered on the first access or after designated number of short-term loans.
