Utilizing Patron Driven Acquisitions Technology to Connect 455,00 Users at 23 College Campuses
We’ll discuss the process of implementing, conducting, and evaluating a consortial patron-driven acquisitions (PDA) pilot involving two vendors (Coutts and YBP), 23 California State University campus libraries, and almost half a million users. We’ll explain how technology is enabling libraries to develop and share just-in-time collections of ebooks, and present the results of the pilot in light of the ongoing conversation about what that might mean for library faculty, staff, budgets, and most importantly, users.
