Evidence Based Acquisition (EBA)

EBA page banner

With Brill's Evidence Based Acquisition (EBA) model, academic institutions are given access to a large collection of over 27,000 E-Books published by Brill and our imprints, such as Brill | Schöningh, Brill | Fink, Brill | mentis and Brill | Nijhoff, against a predetermined period and budget. Libraries can choose to access our full collection of E-Books, opening up an extensive collection of publications to their library patrons ranging from Humanities and Social Sciences to Biology and International Law. The other option is to tailor the available content by individual subject areas, collections or imprints, in order to provide access to a more specific selection of titles.

With EBA, Brill helps you to make your purchase decision, providing COUNTER reports and giving insight to your patrons’ usage of the collection. Download the Brill EBA user guide to find out more.

  • Forthcoming titles within the license term will be added automatically on a weekly basis;
