Abstract
Evidence Based Acquisition programs combine features of subscription packages and firm order acquisitions. For libraries with separate subscription and firm order assessment routines, this may limit possibilities for ongoing evaluation of the success of EBA programs. This session describes a project to develop a holistic and routine assessment of EBA programs. The assessment informs renewal discussions by a deciding committee of teaching librarians and collections personnel and provides data to support communication about decisions to university stakeholders. Presenters will describe the process of selecting data points to analyze and share a template of their EBA assessment spreadsheet.
