Hi,

 

We (UMass Amherst ) are wondering how others are tracking ebrary or EBL
Patron Driven Acquisitions (PDA) expenses.  We've recently set up a deposit
account with ebrary (via YBP) for a PDA account.  So far we've not had any
short term loan or purchase activity, but when we do we expect to take
advantage of ebrary's reporting mechanisms.  Locally we've not yet set up
specific budgets reflecting the PDA accounting and we're wondering if we
might want to. We used a catch-all fund called "one-time money" to prime the
deposit.  

 

Anyway, if there are others in Acqnet-l land doing a PDA program, I'd be
interested in how you're tracking expenses and how you're reporting such to
your administration and to the folks who do selection and collection
development.  Thanks.

 

~Scott
