Data Axle is an industry leader in business and consumer information. Reference Solutions, founded as ReferenceUSA in 1992, is an online tool to give library patrons and business owners access to data on over 17 million businesses and 320 million consumers.

We’re pleased to partner with Elsevier to support collection development needs and achieve savings on Science Direct eBooks, Reference Works, and eTextbooks. See here for more information about volume discounts, as well as subject collection and title lists.   

Are you interested in an evidence-based acquisitions model? Elsevier also offers their EBS (Evidence-Based Selection) program.  

How it works 

1. The library receives access to all eBooks included in the 2025 S&T Frontlist, plus four years of Backlist content (2024–2021), at a significantly reduced rate. 
2. At the end of the 12-month access period, the library selects which titles to purchase and retain in perpetuity, based on evidence-based usage and up to the value of the initial investment. Titles are purchased at list price. The library also has the option to continue EBS access with an agreed-upon increase. 

Pricing varies by institution. For a customized quote or more information, contact services@mcls.org  or 517-939-1382.  

If your library subscribes to the ACM Open journals through MCLS, and/or is part of the ACM Open journals funding model on your own, you qualify for a 25% discount on perpetual access eBook collections. While most ACM content has moved to an open access model, books are an exception and must be purchased. ACM Books cover a wide range of subjects relevant to computer science and related disciplines.  

More information, including titles and pricing, can be found in this ACM Book Flyer  and at books.acm.org. For a quote or purchase, contact services@mcls.org or 517-939-1382.
