Event Sessions
Introduction
Speaker
Patron Driven Acquisitions: Essentials and Options
Speaker
Patron Driven Acquisition is a new model for purchasing/licensing library content, but it isn't as unstructured as it sounds. Librarians have a number of choices to make in order to set up a successful Patron Driven system, including the definition of success. Some of these choices and the rationale behind them will be discussed.
Patron Driven Acquisitions: Lessons Learned and Still Learning
Speaker
UNCG launched a small patron driven acquisitions plan back in 2009. We worked with liaisons to set up profiles and the vendor to set up accounts. We will talk about how our different departments are involved in the process, the lessons we have learned, and our future plans.
Patron Driven Acquisition: A Publisher's Perspective
Speaker
By now it has become clear that patron-driven acquisition (PDA), or demand-driven acquisition, has evolved into a fully viable acquisitions alternative in academic libraries. But most of the discussion to date has been centered around libraries, pilot results, and the aggregator models, with very little said about how PDA may affect the business of scholarly publishers. How are monographs currently acquired and sold and how would broad adoption of the PDA model impact these functions? How much focus should we be placing on metadata and Discoverability? These issues will be explored from the perspective of one university press though PDA will ultimately affect academic publishers of every scale.
