Abstract
Following up an earlier ROI evaluation, this study accesses the viability of Patron-Driven-Acquisitions (PDA) on return-on-investment after steep increases on short term loans (STL) prices from many publishers. And it recommends the measures libraries can take to control the expenditure while still benefiting from the STLs on PDA.
