[Icolcebook] evidence-based ebooks in consortia

[Sheryl Knab]

Hi all
I would be interested as well. The NY 3Rs have experienced the same problems and have the same concerns with our own DDA program as our Orbis Cascade colleagues.

The Orbis Cascade Alliance's DDA program is just over 4-years old, and I'm working with our group of librarians to examine its future.  The last year has been volatile, and the growing short term loan rates and front list embargoes have created previously unseen budget instability and project overhead.

We're interested in an alternative that would bring more stability and are considering evidence-based alternatives.

For those of you that have an evidence-based arrangement, can you let me know which publishers you've worked with and whether you'd recommend others to do the same?

Thanks,
Kathi
