Collection Development Process Ultimate Patron-Driven Acq. (PDA)
Each department (17 total) selects representative
Dept.’s get ~70% ; library keeps ~30%
They select items using their dept.’s allocation until money is gone
With some faculty input, library spends the rest

Designed handout(s) with relevant information
Desire to rotate through all 17 depts. every 2 years
