Abstract

This session is a Discussion Session and will be lead by the presenter. Are you thinking of piloting Patron-Driven Acquisition in your library? In this session, we share our experiences with PDA. We will lead a discussion on the implementation decisions for selection and workflow and the differences and similarities between patron-selected vs. librarian-selected titles; and usage of electronic vs. print titles.

Learning Objectives

Following this session, participants will be able to plan, implement, and evaluate their own PDA project with an understanding of potential issues and possible solutions.
