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.
