¡°We have looked at other packages and PDA providers, but none of them can
compete with EBL,¡± Smith says. The library also uses subscriptions and
packages from ebrary (since 2003) and Springer (since 2009) as well, but
he says that ¡°EBL wins because of its nonlinear lending model that allows
for simultaneous use of all its content.¡±

¡°We believe that providing the complete EBL collection to our users on a
short-term-loan basis is a very cost-effective way to provide access to a
much more extensive selection of ebooks than a PDA plan,¡±

¡°Our demand-driven programs, such as EBL, enable us to drastically expand
the universe of books available to our readers,¡± Macicak says, ¡°while
trimming the costs of acquiring, parking, and maintaining print books,
many of which may never be read.¡±
