The Pattern Driven Acquisition - PDA questions What is your experience of PDA/textbooks? Do not yet offer PDA on our e-books, we are considering this option. We have worked on a small scale via a third party platform on PDA for the eBooks for FE project (also JISC.) Still work in process. What are the pros and cons with PDA? Library & user: Pro -getting access to a wide range of content without significant capital outlay & only pay for what is used. Con – finding that many titles are randomly accessed which will be costly for the Library. Publisher: Pro - having an opportunity to let users influence/drive purchasing of our content Con – creating a platform is costly and will take manual monitoring and constant adjustments

What do you think about the market for PDA/textbooks? So far our experience has been that the usage of textbooks is influenced by lecturer recommendation more than any other factor. What do you think about the future of e-books in general? We have been publishing eBooks through both digitisation and from our reference and textbook publishing groups for a number of years now and are committed to providing valuable and unique content to our students and researchers in a way that fits the needs and outcomes of libraries, students, and researchers. Based on extensive customer feedback, market research and our usability experts, the Gale Virtual Reference Library
