Description
The convergence of ebook availability, patron interest in e-books, new
business models and the economic crisis has accelerated library adoption
of Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA). This change has been facilitated by
customized patron-driven acquisitions programs from some major library
book distributors and aggregators. The adoption of PDA has also been
facilitated by a shift in collection management philosophy away from
"just-in-case" collecting to a "just-in-time" strategy for providing
access to collections. How should libraries balance patron driven
acquisitions with more strategic decisions to prepare their collection
for the future?
Topics to be covered include:
* Budgets and how to budget
* Campus sharing of costs (specifically between separately administered
libraries on a campus)
* Profiles – are they different for different disciplines? Are certain
LC classes totally excluded (art, music)? What happens to your approval
plans?
* Foreign or domestic plans
* ILL PDA – in print or in e format
* E Reserve PDA – will this meet the needs on a short term basis?
* Reference Collection PDA – is this a possibility? Could it be a
browsable, ever changing collection? If so what are the associated costs
for collections budget and for staff time?
* Dual formats and Bundled pricing – could there be deep discounted
pricing for print accompanying e formats?
* Vendors/providers – who is doing what? Do you go through vendors or
direct to publishers, or both?
* Implications for collections – does this mechanism skew the collection?
* Marketing and promotion – if you promote it will you run through your
budget even faster than thought? What happens if you don’t promote it?
* Consortia applications – if you have rich consortia obligations for
shared borrowing what happens when your collection is all electronic?
* Mechanics – marc records, link resolvers, monitoring, statistics,
pricing models, duplications, weeding; levels of use (single user,
multiple user), purchase versus subscription

*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to
participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:
http://bit.ly/upcomingeforum.
*To register:*
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you
do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email
list. Participation is free and open to anyone.
