5. You Say DDA, I Say PDA… Patron Driven Acquisitions are also called: PDA for short Many libraries use the term Demand Driven Acquisitions (DDA) What’s the difference?

6. What’s It All About? Items are chosen by users At the point of need (i.e. “just in time”) Can include e-resources and print resources Offers flexibility in meeting library constraints for price, content, and processing

7. A Little Bit of PDA History… Early Studies on Usage: Trueswell – 80/20 (1969) Kent Study – Circ usage (1979) First PDA Programs: Developed as off-shoot of ILL Print based Examples: Bucknell (1990), Purdue University (2000) Retrieved from Open LibraryOpen Library

8. A Little Bit of History… E-Books Enter the Mix NetLibrary – PDA option for e-books (1998) Things that moved PDA along Online book sellers (Amazon, Alibris, Powells, etc.) E-resources

9. If You Have PDA, Will They Choose It? It’s a seamless process Integrated into OPAC Users shouldn’t know an item is PDA or not Users may need specific devices to view e-resources © Court Patton, pattonbros.com

10. Impact on Users Increased options at the touch of a button Users will have the opportunity to use resources that they wouldn’t necessarily have before in their OPAC Less reliance on Interlibrary Loan Wait time should be minimal E-book access is instantaneous Print access can be faster than traditional ordering

11. Impact on Technical Services Saves time Placing orders and invoicing Eases data loading workload of cataloging staff Batch loading via vendor, institution, or consortium Seamless process for users and library staff after item is requested Cleanup Broken links, etc.

12. Money, Money, Money! Money can run out quickly Cost to buy versus lease Uneven distribution of funds for various collections

13. Impact on Public Services Circulation is going to increase Assessment is even more crucial Reference librarians may transition into subject specialists/liaisons

14. Impact on ILL Potential decrease/increase of workload Changes in workflows Increased collaboration with acquisitions

15. Assessment How do you assess PDA? Usage stats E-books vs. Print Evaluate purchases by department, subject, etc. Compare use models Single-use vs. Multi-use Examine budget Retrieved from UT Health Science CenterUT Health Science Center

16. Examples State university PDA program FLVC (Florida Virtual Campus) coordinated Coutts MyiLibrary USF Libraries

19. Future Will include a mix of e-resources and print resources Shift to e-resources Increase in use of the e-journal article PDA Libraries using PDA model vs. traditional purchasing models
