ALCTS webinar: Evaluating Print Book & E-Book Patron-Driven Acquisitions
(PDA)
Date: November 13, 2013
All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1pm Central, and 2pm Eastern time.
Description: This webinar will describe two patron-driven acquisitions
(PDA) models -- (1) buying print books based on interlibrary loan
borrowing requests and (2) the current e-book model working with an
e-book aggregator and/or a library book vendor -- and will describe
several approaches for evaluating the success and effectiveness of both
models. Evaluation points include considerations such as subsequent
circulation, appropriateness to the collection of purchased titles,
subject analysis, cost analysis, and even a peek at the difference in
future performance between user-selected and librarian-selected e-books.
Learning outcomes: Learn several ways to evaluate the performance and
effectiveness of PDA plans. Feel more confident about the effectiveness
of PDA plans based on one library’s experience with a print PDA plan
(2000-present) and an e-book PDA plan (2011 to present).
Who should attend? Librarians with responsibilities in reference,
collection management, assessment, electronic resources, acquisitions,
collection development.
