Colleagues,

At Wake Forest University, we decided to exclude from our DDA pool the
titles embargoed from STL for the duration of the embargo period. We aren't
keen on using mediation because we don't like putting that obstacle in
front of our patrons and we didn't like the other option of immediate
triggered purchase.  Has anyone else decided to exclude the embargoed
titles or is everyone using mediation as a solution?

If you are using mediation, are you gathering data on how often:
a) mediation happens (especially relative to embargo)
b) you are making the e-book purchase
c) you are guiding patrons to another solution (like finding a similar
resource)
