Unsub

Unsub is our free tool for analyzing library journal subscriptions. It gives you data-driven forecasts of the true cost and value of your journal packages to guide subscription decisions, and it’s used by hundreds of libraries worldwide.

Documentation

Unsub has its own comprehensive help center at docs.unsub.org — start there for everything about using the tool itself.

Getting access

Unsub logins come with OpenAlex institutional plans. Send the names and email addresses of up to 3 users at your institution (typically collections librarians) to [email protected] and we’ll create their accounts — details in Supporter tools.

Getting help

The documentation and shared training videos cover most questions; we don’t offer direct Unsub support beyond that. If you want consulting help with analyses and implementation, we recommend Eric Schares ([email protected]), an experienced Unsub super-user.
