BibliU Commits to Continued Support for Library Market Amid ProQuest's Phase-Out of Perpetual Licensing

At BibliU, we understand the unique challenges libraries face, particularly in the current economic climate, when it comes to maintaining long-term access to digital materials. By working closely with our institutional partners and publishers, we are committed to ensuring the sustainability of these resources. To support this, we offer flexible acquisition methods including UAA (User-Activated Acquisition - often known as DDA Demand Driven Acquisition) and TbT (Title by Title). Libraries can acquire content with access models including 6month eTexts, 12month eTexts, perpetual unlimited concurrent users, 3 concurrent users, and 1 concurrent users as made available by publishers. Our commitment to innovation drives us to continually explore new models that help UK institutions maximise the value of their digital investments.

Dave Sherwood, Founder and CEO of BibliU, commented:

‍

"BibliU is committed to offering our library partners the models that work best for them. We pioneered university library eTextbook acquisition methods such as UAA and TbT and models such as 6month access and Broadening Access. We continue to offer monographs in all perpetual license models (1CU, 3CU, UCU etc) and via TbT or UAA (DDA). If your library is seeking a new provider or exploring alternatives, we’re here to help."

‍

BibliU continues to partner with academic institutions and libraries globally, delivering integrated solutions that combine affordability, accessibility, and innovation. The company remains focused on meeting the evolving needs of higher education and ensuring that libraries have the right tools to support their academic communities.
