DDA and EBA in Rialto: Moving Forward with Patron-Driven Acquisition
Session Abstract
It is well established that Rialto is a game-changer in terms of saving acquisitions staff time in selecting and purchasing individual titles. However, managing DDA and EBA through Rialto also lifts a workflow burden, reducing duplication and centralizing eBook purchasing management. Implementing a Rialto selection plan streamlined our DDA, keeping us within budget while working in tandem with our eBook Central subscription plan. Moving our Taylor and Francis EBA to Rialto has allowed for tracking usage and choosing titles throughout the year. While early adoption of selection plans and EBA presented minor challenges, it has allowed us to offer more patron choice in acquisitions while requiring less acquisitions staff time.
