Working through library consortia, EIFL supports increased use of e-resources by scholars and researchers.
Research shows that often researchers, students and academics are not aware that their libraries have access to high quality e-resources. E-resources have a higher impact when libraries are fully integrated into the institutional culture of research, teaching and education.
To support libraries in maximizing access to e-resources, the EIFL Licensing Programme works closely with partner library consortia to raise awareness and increase participation and usage of e-resources.
The number of subscriptions to e-resources in EIFL partner countries increased by 4% from 2018 to 2019.
There were more than 6.4 million full text downloads from EIFL-licensed resources in 2019.
