Everything is Different
• Born-digital books shouldn’t go out of print• OP material easy to find• Users expect remote access• We’re more accountable to our
administrations– Budget– Shelf space

How We’re Implementing Demand-Driven Acquisition
![Page 11: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Developing a DDA Plan for DU
• Jan 2009: Begin conversations with Blackwell• Spring 2009: Begin conversations with EBL• Summer/fall 2009: EBL/Blackwell platform
development• Dec 2009: YBP/Blackwell announce merger• Jan 2010: Begin conversations with YBP• Spring 2010: Implement DDA with EBL• Spring 2010: Plan DDA with YBP• Summer 2010: YBP/EBL negotiations
![Page 12: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The EBL Model
• First five minutes: free• First three uses: STL 1 or 7 days• Fourth use: purchase
![Page 13: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The University of Denver Plan
• Print and Electronic Books• YBP and EBL• Slips– No fiction or textbooks– Discovery through the catalog
• POD (eventually)
• Automatic approval books will continue to come automatically (for now)
![Page 14: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The User Experience• Catalog
– eBook– Print book
• Landing Page– Designed by EBL– Links to both versions– More information
• eBook platform– eBook – Link to catalog for print (eventually)
• Request– eBook platform – seamless– Catalog links to landing page
![Page 15: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Workflow
• MARC records loaded (based on YBP slip notifications)
• Requests routed through Acquisitions (III Millennium Recommendations)
• Acquisitions places order– YBP or Baker & Taylor
• Book received• Patron notified• Future: drop ship to patron
![Page 16: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Assessment
• Feedback Form (p)– At Request– At Delivery
• Slip “Ordering” (p)• Use Data (p and e)• Overlap of p and e
![Page 17: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Dealing with Uncertainty
• Budgeting– Constant vigilance – Be ready to spend in May/June– Be ready to suppress records/turn off access• By date• By publisher• By series• By use trends• For all
![Page 18: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Building Permanent Access
• Purchased ebooks• Purchased print books• Purchased POD• Links to other unpurchased content– Series– Subjects– Publishers
![Page 19: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Implications
![Page 20: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Impact on Researchers
• Can they– Browse the collection?– Get books as needed?– Get older books?
![Page 21: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Impact on Libraries
• What about ILL?– Blur between ILL/Acquisitions– eBook rental replaces ILL?
• What about Collections of Record?• Are we still building collections, or are we just
buying books?
![Page 22: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Impact on Librarians
• More time for harder selection?• Less connection to collection?
![Page 23: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Implications for Scholarly Publishing
• Less predictable– Reduced frontlist sales?– Increased backlist sales?– Fewer copies sold per title?– Higher cost per title?– Fewer titles published?
• Better ebook sales?
![Page 24: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Implications for Authors
• Harder to publish a book?– Implications for tenure/promotion– Alternate forms of publication?

Looking to the Future
![Page 26: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Short Term
• eBooks– Multiple aggregators• Inconsistent coverage• Inconsistent DRM
– Publisher platforms• Print books– “On Demand” = “by mail”– Speculative purchasing for many titles
![Page 27: Buy Only What You Need: Demand-Driven Acquisition as a Strategy for Academic Libraries](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568163fb550346895dd592b5/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The Ideal Model
• All scholarly monographs available e/POD– Aggregator or publisher– POD in library
• Speculative purchasing – Rare/unusual– Special collections– Based on solid use data
