VPATs

A Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) or Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) is a standard document that helps assess the accessibility of a Elsevier product. It contains detailed information about a product’s conformance with accessibility standards (i.e. WCAG 2.1, Section 508, etc.) and accessibility-related features such as its support for assistive technology.

Email [email protected] to request a VPAT for your product.

Accessibility support

  • Please email [email protected] to report an accessibility issue with an Elsevier product or if you have any questions or feedback related to the accessibility of our platforms. Our dedicated Accessibility team will get back to you within two working days.

  • If you require electronic files for a student or staff member with a disability, you may use the AccessText Network or our Elsevier Disability Request Form to request a file. Most requests are filled on the same day.

MARC records

We offer complimentary high-quality MARC records through OCLC® for books purchased on ScienceDirect. Please note, MARC records are not available for ScienceDirect journals.

To receive MARC records, complete a one-time setup for data exchange and delivery via OCLC WorldShare Collection Manager. Once set up, your WorldCat library will continuously update with ScienceDirect holdings, and you'll receive automatic MARC deliveries (new, updated, and deleted records) reflecting changes in your ScienceDirect holdings. This ensures your catalog aligns with your ScienceDirect subscription without the need for individual MARC orders per book or collection.

Download the full guide to get started.

Electronic Holdings Reports

ScienceDirect provides electronic holdings reports which specify the titles and dates of coverage included in a library's subscription package.

These reports are based on the KBART (Knowledge Base and Related Tools) Phase II draft recommendations, which can be viewed at https://www.uksg.org/KBART

Customers can access three types of reports:

  • KBART Product Reports, which provide collection title lists for all journals and books available on ScienceDirect

  • KBART Account Reports, which provide customer-specific entitlements information

  • ScienceDirect proprietary Electronic Holdings Report, which provides customer-specific entitlements information.

How can I download Electronic Holdings or KBART reports?
