We Are the World Leading Supplier of EBSMTM Software

Evidence Based Stock Management (EBSM) is a repeatable, strategic performance framework for library stock improvement.

Pioneered over the last 15 years by George Kerr, library consultant for Bridgeall Libraries, EBSM evolved from George's own dissatisfaction with having to purchase new stock and plan stock movement with totally inadequate data.

EBSM addresses this by working on the principle that borrower data is actually a form of proxy consultation, since customers tell libraries what they are interested in reading every time they borrow a book.

Using borrower data from your existing LMS system, EBSM acts as an incredibly powerful identifier of local library demand, because it tells library managers in relative terms where to concentrate their scarce resources most effectively.

By enabling library stock managers to focus stock on needs and demands by improving stock relevance, EBSM consequently brings a range of key benefits across the library operation.

Now for the first time, library professionals have a solution that takes the manual, resource intensive burden out of EBSM - smartsmTM from Bridgeall Libraries.
