At the University of Iowa, most of our firm-ordered ebooks are purchased via YBP and are mostly from ebrary, EBL, and/or EBSCO. Once we have licenses established w/each publisher/aggregator, we can order the items through GOBI. It's simple, and quick.

Subject: [ACQNET-L] question: ebook firm orders (not PDA/DDA)
Dear Colleagues, we are pondering ebook firm orders for individual titles (non-PDA/DDA, not ebook publisher packages), and I would like to the wonderful collective wisdom of Acqnet to find out you all have set up are your ebook firm ordering processes. We are thinking about this in several dimensions: pilot, setup, organization, content rights / licensing issues, workflows, and long-term with regard to scaling up.
Any ideas and on-the-ground experiences are welcome - thanks very much in advance for your insights.
Thanks & Best,
