6. 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
