MARKETING STRATEGIES AT UT TYLER

MARKETING – TARLETON No formal plans as of yet to market JSTOR ebooks specifically Titles currently available in our library catalog & discovery system (EDS) Ebooks are promoted through our Subject Guides Considering advertisement of expanded access to Books at JSTOR and not that they are DDA materials to avoid targeted purchasing

LESSONS LEARNED Good Things to Know Successes

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW Balance notification – invoices sent monthly if anything purchased, nothing sent if no purchases Usage information can be found in the JSTOR admin module under Usage Statistics – Book downloads MARC Records - Sent through OCLC Product Services Web

SUCCESSES UT Tyler Administrators impressed with the purchasing model and potential savings Already seeing a lot of no cost usage and a few purchases Easier to manage and more stable than other DDA platforms we’ve worked with Tarleton Deposit account administered by JSTOR frees up Acquisitions staff time.
