Abstract

Libraries have quickly embraced demand-driven acquisition (DDA) as a method for building e-book collections. DDA has the potential to radically transform how academic libraries build collections and to significantly alter the scholarly communication landscape. A librarian, a publisher, and an approval vendor will explore how DDA may impact scholarly publishing.

Learning Objectives

Following this session, participants will have a better understanding of how demand-driven acquisition (DDA) will impact their collections and scholarly publishing in general, and will be able to make more careful considerations about how and when to implement DDA in their libraries.
