Attendees will come away from this session with resources and ideas to address the complexities of configuring and maintaining a DDA program. They will also learn how their contemporaries in the field are handing common challenges from both individual and consortia perspectives.
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.
