Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA) has been commonly adopted by academic libraries in the United States for acquiring e-books in recent years. Implementation of the e-book DDA model varies by library. This paper introduces and demonstrates a scenario analysis approach for libraries to evaluate, identify, and select a DDA plan that works best for them based on their DDA program data. This approach helps address some key questions facing libraries with a DDA e-book program: How may a DDA program be evaluated under different scenarios? Does a short-term loan (STL) option make sense? And, is the current DDA implementation a good fit for the library? The implications and related issues are discussed.

In January 2012, Kent State University Libraries implemented a 6-month pilot project for a Patron Driven Acquisitions (PDA) e-book purchasing model that uses a combination of the acquisition services provided by the primary book jobber (YBP) and the access services provided by a well-known e-book distributer (ebrary). Using the book jobber mediated PDA model provided the library with selected discovery records that closely matched specifications of the library's print approval plan. This poster presents a study that examines the role of the library catalog as a tool for e-book discovery and access in a new library collection acquisition model called Patron-Driven Acquisition (PDA).

Karl Bridges has been a professional academic reference librarian for more than twenty years. He is the acting dean at Eli M. Oboler Library at Idaho State University. He holds master's degrees in history from Miami University and the University of Illinois, from which he also has an MLS. He has extensive professional writing experience, including scholarly articles in journals such as American Libraries and The Journal of Library Philosophy and Practice. He has also written three books (two as sole author, one as editor) and a book chapter on various library subjects including Web 2.0, library interviewing, and the future of libraries. He is also a book reviewer for publications including the Journal of Electronic Resources Librarianship and Catholic Library World.

Patron-Driven Acquisitions (PDA) is a new model used for e-book acquisition by academic libraries. A key component of this model is to make records of e-books available in a library catalog and let actual patron usage decide whether or not an item is purchased. However, there has been a lack of research examining the role of the library catalog as a tool for e-book discovery and use in PDA. This paper presents a case study of using PDA for e-book acquisition in an academic library, with a focus on the role of the library catalog in this purchasing model. The implications and challenges are also discussed.

Patron-Driven Acquisition (PDA) (also called Demand-Driven Acquisition, DDA) has been commonly used in academic libraries for acquiring ebooks. PDA is still relatively new; libraries have adopted it without an established guideline for best practices. The implementation of the e-book PDA model varies from library to library, so that this poster offers a systematic comparison approach to evaluate different scenarios based on ebook PDA acquisition and usage during 1/1/2012 – 5/31/2014. This work try to help libraries gain a better understanding of how PDA works under different scenarios, and choose the scenario that works best to fulfill their needs. Also we want to contribute to the debate on establishing guidelines for best practices in
implementing ebook PDA

The University of Mississippi Libraries began a patron-initiated purchasing program in 2009. After a successful year of purchasing, the authors evaluated both the criteria and workflows. The process included sharing results with subject librarians and the Collection Development Steering Committee. As a result, changes were made to both the criteria and the workflows.
