[Eril-l] EBA Survey Request

[Electronic Resources in Libraries discussion list]

Greetings! 



My name is Matt Jabaily, Interim Director of Collections and Content at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. My colleagues and I are conducting survey research on the use of Evidence-Based Acquisition* plans (for e-books) at academic libraries.



Evidence-Based Acquisition (EBA) plans have become more common across academic libraries for the provision and acquisition of e-books. The literature on e-books has focused generally on institution-specific adoption and workflows, selection decisions and assessment, and management. This study looks to perform an overarching review of the literature, and supplement it with a broader survey of EBA adoption,  implementation, and assessment trends across academic libraries. I am being joined in this research by principal investigator, Chris Palazzolo, (Emory University) and co-investigator William Jacobs (San Francisco State University).



We would like to invite you to participate in the following survey<https://survey.qualtrics.emory.edu/jfe/form/SV_bsmRomzALaGLuhE> as part of the research.



The survey component will be run through Qualtrics<https://survey.qualtrics.emory.edu/jfe/form/SV_bsmRomzALaGLuhE> and should take about 15-20 minutes to complete. There will be ample opportunity throughout the survey to elaborate on responses or provide alternate responses. Please pass this survey along to the best individual who can answer questions on the adoption, management, and evaluation of EBAs at your institution. Please limit to one response per institution!



If you would like to participate, please click here to be redirected to the survey<https://survey.qualtrics.emory.edu/jfe/form/SV_bsmRomzALaGLuhE>. You will be presented with a Letter of Information followed by a consent button before the survey begins.

*EBA Definition

“A patron-driven acquisition model in which libraries negotiate with a vendor or publisher to provide access to a pool of e-books in exchange for an agreement to purchase e-books at a set amount at the end of the program (typically after one year). When that time is up, librarians make purchasing decisions based on evidence of use. Libraries normally pay an upfront fee that is less than the cost of the full collection of titles.”
