Anyone interested in this may also be interested in the JISC project
(completed last year) on 'The Role of Metadata in the Discovery, Selection
and Acquisition of e-Books' -within the context of PDA/DDA

The project wiki above includes the report, PDA case studies and a range of
other resources (interview with publishers, librarians, ebook
intermediaries).

Subject: [NGC4LIB] ALA Annual Meeting Announcement: Catalog Management
Interest Group
Please consider joining us for five presentations on vendor provided MARC
records for titles acquired via Patron Driven Acquisitions (PDA) or Data/
Demand Driven Acquisitions (DDA) programs and the impact of these records on
the catalog.
Date: Saturday, June 23
Time: 1:30-3:30
Location: Hyatt Regency Hotel, Royal Ballroom E
Speakers and presentations:
*Sadie Williams, Vice President, Business Development, Ebook Library (EBL)*
*Tom Larsen, Head of Monographic Cataloging, Portland State University
Library*
*“Building and Evaluating a Collaborative Consortial Demand-Driven
Cataloging Workflow”*
In January 2011, the 36-member Orbis Cascade Alliance, in partnership with
EBL and YBP Library Services, announced a pioneering new collaboration in
consortial e-book acquisitions. This presentation will discuss the
cataloging workflow to support that program, the decisions and collaborative
effort across member institutions and vendors to develop the workflow, and
discuss the successes, issues, and lessons learned along the way. During the
course of the planning period and the first year of the pilot, changes to
the workflow were made as various difficulties were encountered. We will
look at the role of vendors in the creation of the cataloging records. We
will discuss the importance of the maintenance of DDA cataloging records as
they affect DDA expenditure and usage – especially as pertaining to managing
the budget, and provide a case study and examples for planning long-term
maintenance of a DDA program as it relates to the catalog.
*Mary Gilbertson, Cataloging and Acquisitions, Head of Monographs,
University of Arkansas Libraries*
The University of Arkansas Libraries began providing access to DDA records
in December of 2011, using the criteria from a past Yankee Book Peddler
approval plan. The ebook vendor is ebrary. The approval plan criteria filter
the records, and a load table adds various fields to the cataloging records
upon load. As a trial, only those records that match the approval criteria
are being loaded, but there is a function available so that other titles can
be loaded.
*Roman Panchyshyn, Catalog Librarian, Kent State University Libraries*
*“At the Table: Developing a Cataloging Workflow for a Successful
Demand-Driven Acquisitions Project”*
In fall 2011, Kent State University Libraries (KSUL) began negotiations with
Yankee Book Peddler to implement a DDA pilot for selected subjects.
From the beginning of the contract process, cataloging staff were present at
the table, providing their input on MARC record preparation and
specifications, record delivery, and workflow processes. The pilot was
implemented in early January 2012. KSUL is currently evaluating the pilot
and contemplating plans to implement DDA on a full-time basis. This
presentation will cover the role cataloging staff played in developing and
implementing a successful DDA pilot project. It will discuss how the
bibliographic records are loaded, overlaid, and maintained. It will also
point out any problems or issues that were discovered while working with
these sets of records, and how they were addressed.
*Elyssa M. Sanner, Metadata & Cataloging Services Librarian, Northern
Michigan University*
*“Patron-Driven E-book Acquisitions at NMU: Worth the Effort?”*
Northern Michigan University’s Olson Library recently implemented a PDA
program through the vendor YBP/EBL. During this presentation, attendees will
learn what to expect when implementing a PDA program as well as practical
solutions for managing imprecise data. As a part of this PDA program,
“enhanced” discovery records (defined as MARC records that include basic
descriptive fields, as well as table of contents for improved discovery in
the library catalog) were purchased. The program began with the receipt of a
large retroactive load of e-book records, totaling approximately 15,000
records. An initial analysis revealed several problems with the records.
Through trial-and-error, NMU has found solutions that simultaneously
maintain the integrity of the catalog and manage resources by editing the
elements that pose the greatest barriers to patron discovery.
*Wen-ying Lu, Continuing Resources Catalog Librarian, University of Colorado
Boulder*
*Mary Beth Chambers, Catalog Metadata Librarian, University of Colorado
Colorado Springs*
*“PDA Consortium Style: The CU MyiLibrary Cataloging Experience”*
The University of Colorado Boulder Libraries implemented a PDA program
through MyiLibrary in 2010. In December 2011, Boulder's MyiLibrary program
expanded to include all campuses within the University of Colorado System,
launching a collaborative pilot project for shared purchasing and shared
cataloging of e-books among five separate CU libraries. This presentation
covers the workflow used to share MARC records among those libraries, both
before and after titles are purchased. The presenters will discuss factors
affecting editing and customization of the records, including quality of
records, local needs, and best practices for Prospector, a regional unified
catalog. They will also share their strategies for detecting and resolving
errors that may occur and for handling PDA "discovery" records for titles
duplicated in other e-book packages available at the respective libraries.

Management Interest Group, at cmcguire_at_umich.edu.
