What Is Evidence-Based Selection (EBS)?
EBS, also known as EBA, is a DDA model in which libraries
negotiate with a vendor or publisher to provide access to a
pool of e-books in exchange for an agreement to purchase
books valued at a set amount at the end of the program.

Article Processing Charges (APC)
What is APC?
The publication fees that cover the costs of publishing the
accepted article plus the cost of reviewing the number of
submissions rejected for each accepted submission.

OA Market Revenue Forecast and Growth
(APC)
The average APC (distorted somewhat by discounts and
waivers, but excluding membership revenues) was about
$660 in 2011; in 2015, this will increase to roughly $950 due
in part to the increased number of well-branded journal
publishers offering OA options at higher price points, and in
part to the decline of low-value, extremely low-cost pureOA publishers.
In 2011  194,000 (Articles) X $660(APC) = $128M
In 2015  352,000 (Articles) X $950(APC) = $334M

Joint Acquisition – Two Main Models
Central Acquisitions
The idea for this is that libraries could save money through bulk
purchasing and other services provided through one central library
Central Negotiations
Enable a collaborative network (central) office to manage vendor
negotiation details for electronic resource purchases on behalf of
the collaborative network members
Additional Supporting Feature - Shared Vendors
Vendor records can be managed and shared in a collaborative
network
