Dear Lauren and all,
Here at Southern Methodist University, we are going to give mediation a try and see how it goes. I’ve recommended to my colleagues that we should keep data, such as you mentioned. I will report back later to share what we find out.
Thank you,
Heather

Subject: [ACQNET-L] inclusion or exclusion of embargoed STL titles in DDA pool?
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)
