JSTOR offers flexible acquisition options to suit your collection strategy and budget. We can provide holdings comparisons and recommendations based on your institution’s usage data for journals and Open Access ebooks. Savings are available on every book, and since the ebooks are integrated with journals on our popular platform, libraries typically see high usage and a low-cost per use for ebooks on JSTOR.

Evidence-Based Acquisition (EBA)

Evidence-Based Acquisition offers unlimited access to 73,000 high-quality backlist scholarly ebooks from 100+ publishers in the 2024 program for a set upfront fee. After one year of unlimited access, you can select titles to acquire using the usage data as a guide. This model can help you meet the research needs of your patrons while controlling costs, simplifying workflows, and incorporating both usage data and librarian expertise in your acquisition strategy.

Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA)

Demand-Driven Acquisition offers access to a large set of titles for discovery and use, but your library only pays for those that reach a threshold of usage. This model allows libraries to align purchases more closely with patron needs, and ensures that you’ll never pay for titles that go unused. Libraries can manage their DDA workflows directly through JSTOR, through GOBI Library Solutions from EBSCO, or through ProQuest’s OASIS or Rialto marketplaces.
