Want a more efficient, user-centric eBook library? Our streamlined Evidence-Based Acquisition model works to empower your researchers with the resources they need while maximizing your budget.
The library world is constantly evolving, and staying ahead of the curve means getting the most out of your resources and delivering top value to your patrons. That's where ACS Evidence-Based Acquisition (EBA) comes in. It's a game-changer for acquiring ACS eBooks, empowering you to make data-driven decisions and get the biggest bang for your buck.
EBA: Streamlining Your eBook Journey

By providing cost-effective access to a comprehensive collection of high-quality eBooks, EBA empowers researchers to stay at the forefront of their fields.
“After having gone a few years without updating our ACS eBook packages, and with our budget not quite returning to pre-pandemic levels, the EBA program has been a great way for us to provide our students and faculty with access to all ACS eBooks. We really appreciate the flexibility to choose a plan that fits the size and research interests of our campus, and the communication with our Account Manager has been fantastic. It has been very interesting to see the breadth of titles used across campus, and the process of choosing which books to purchase at the end of the year has been very easy.”
-Chris Doty, Librarian for Chemistry and Physics at the Robert W. Woodruff Library, Emory University
