10. 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

11. 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.

12. Demand-driven Acquisition – patron experience Automated or request-based (mediated) access Intuitive, efficient workflow for patrons and library

13. Why Libraries are using EBL’s Demand-driven tools… Some of the benefits of demand-driven access… Provides critical mass of widest selection of titles available to patrons Budget goes toward funding what actually gets used Titles purchased based on demand have higher use once purchased Eliminates time required for selectors to search for titles and purchase Patrons access most up to date content - new titles are immediately available when added to catalogue EBL profiling tools create a built-in ‘approval plan’ Seamless access/workflow for libraries and patrons Provides alternative to ILL
