2. Definitions • Patron-Driven Acquisition (PDA) • Acquisition of library materials based on direct or indirect patron input, including faculty requests and analysis of collection usage • Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA) • Acquisition of library materials based on patron selection at the point of need.

3. Why DDA? • Rebalance collection from possible use toward immediate need • Make many more titles available to users • A broader, deeper collection • Spend same amount for greater access or less for same access

4. Why Do We Need Best Practices? • Management of the “consideration pool” – the titles available for purchase or lease • Rules for: • Adding titles • Keeping unowned titles available • Removing titles • Managing records

6. A Disruption to the Entire Scholarly Communication Supply Chain • Uncertainty for publishers • New role for approval vendors • From booksellers to service providers • Changing role for academic libraries • Stewardship vsaccess • Potentially similar issues for public libraries, trade publishers

7. Components of DDA • Free discovery of content • Front and back matter • Set amount of time in the entire book • Set number of pages • Temporary lease • Purchase • Tools and strategies for automated management of the consideration pool

8. Goals • Develop a flexible model for DDA that works for publishers, vendors, aggregators, and libraries. • Allow for DDA plans that • Meet local budget and collection needs • Allow for consortial participation • Allow for cross-aggregator implementation

9. Deliverables • Recommendations for • Managing and populating the consideration pool • Developing consistent models for • Free discovery • Temporary lease • Purchase • Methods for managing multiple formats • Ways to incorporate print-on-demand (POD)

10. Timeline • Appointment of working group • Approval of charge, initial work plan • Completion of information gathering • Completion of initial draft • Gathering of public comments • Completion of final draft Aug 2012 Sept 2012 Feb 2013 Apr 2013 May 2013 Aug 2013
