Evidence-based AcquisitionLibraries and consortia around the world have already discovered what makes evidence-based acquisition (EBA) at Alexander Street the most flexible, personalized way to acquire digital content.

Once your library commits the amount that fits within its budget, you can build targeted video holdings that best meet your needs by mixing and matching from more than 26,000 titles (and growing).

With Alexander Street’s program, users get a period of unrestricted access to thou-sands of high quality films. Then, at the end of this introductory term, you review the usage stats—the “evidence”—and choose what to buy, with no automatic purchase triggers and no obligation to acquire anything but the materials that you want most.

Media Hosting at Alexander Street PressMedia hosting services at Alexander Street Press offer a one-stop online portal that enhances the usability of your pre-existing content. Our media hosting service converts your current video and audio holdings and makes them fully available on Alexander Street’s advanced interface, built specifically for libraries and their patrons. All hosted content is cross-searchable alongside Alexander Street Press’s award-winning collections and optimized with dozens of features including:

■ 24/7 access to unlimited users on campus or off

■ Tools for building and sharing clips and playlists

■ COUNTER-compliant usage statistics

■ Permanent URLs that make it easy to cite and share

■ Optional full-text transcripts that scroll synchronously alongside content
