By attending this session:

e-book acquisitions service may be integrated with existing collection
development practices;
- Participants will be given the tools and information to plan for and
implement a patron-driven acquisition eBook service at their own

Abstract
The purchase of e-books via a patron-driven
or demand-driven model has become more common in
academic libraries, whether as a pilot project or an ongoing
service. This program provides an overview of how a demand-driven
acquisitions service can be integrated into a library’s overall
collection development strategy for electronic books.
