Chest Collections Policy

Eduserv Chest negotiates for all forms of commercially available electronic resource (abstracts, full text, journals, software, courseware, etc) for the education and research communities in the UK and Republic of Ireland, and it manages the resultant agreements. It makes the benefits of the agreements available as widely as possible, because this enables better deals and lower prices for everyone.

Its collections policy is simple - Chest negotiates for, and manages, agreements that users have asked for. It is driven only by demand and the need to provide better value for money than can be obtained elsewhere.
