Evidence-Based Selection
Introducing: New eBooks Access Options
Today’s trying economic times call for flexibility and choice in the way you select, purchase, and use content. In response to our customers’ feedback and global market research, we have enhanced our eBooks collection offerings and expanded the ways in which you can build or expand your eBooks holdings one book, or one collection at a time.Which model best fits your needs?
Choose from these 3 new ways to acquire and purchase eBooks on ScienceDirect:
1. Evidence-based Ebooks Selection
Your library gains access to a wide range of books on ScienceDirect for a minimal, up-front fee determined by a percentage of the total value of content you choose and access for a full 12 months. Then, you decide which titles to purchase and keep in perpetuity, priced up to the value of the initial content investment and based upon evidence-based usage of the full range of content. This new and flexible “Evidence-Based Selection” pricing model for online books will help librarians maximize their budget by purchasing only the book content that is used most by their patrons over time.

2. Pick & Choose purchasing
Librarians or faculty can select & purchase full-text eBook titles on ScienceDirect, one or many at a time, outside of the current option to buy eBooks collections as a whole.
