Current SCELC participants of the Wiley subject-focused and shared online book collection program are encouraged to attend this session.
The user-group discussion will be focused around an evidence-based approach for access to Wiley digital books. Help design your future shared purchase program!
Wiley's Usage Based Collection Management program allows you to present a much larger sets of titles than would otherwise be possible. Key benefits: your library remains in control of purchase decisions; choose books for permanent selection based on patron behavior and without automatic triggers; free MARC records; titles include perpetual rights, unlimited concurrent usage and DRM-free.
How does the evidence-based approach coincide with your library collection building / purchasing cycles? Tell us about your experiences, and what you would find desirable.
