Specific takeaways will include:

Options for automating DDA holdings management workflow, reducing the "heavy lifting" often required by libraries and consortia
How automating workflow affects other areas of library support
How DDA workflows affect user experience

Abstract

Managing a Demand-Driven Acquisitions (DDA) program has become a standard part of the library workflow and it shouldn’t be a challenge to you or your users. Discuss how the day-to-day with automated DDA has improved library and consortia holdings management workflows, expanded support levels and affected the user experience.
