Becoming More Cost-Effective
![Page 68: From Bricks to Clicks: Continuing to Shift Focus to Online Library Services Matt Anderson, MSLS @MattAndersonSD 11 December 2012 #bricks2clicks](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022110204/56649b5c550346318e8ddc5b/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Becoming More Cost-Effective
• Patron-driven acquisition– Being used by University of Utah & Texas
A&M
• Patron discovers a title they want via online services, clicks on the title, & the library purchases the e-copy at that time…but not until that transaction
• Perhaps eventually allowing for one-click donations of books/e-books

• Offering patrons the ability to pay for high-quality versions of some resources
• Would a reputable academic library consider these options?

Becoming More Cost-Effective
• The days of academic libraries having to buy/lease/maintain servers are coming to an end
• Library software companies offer SaaS solutions
• Cloud companies like AWS can cheaply offer huge amounts of virtualized space
• Initial development investments can be $$$, instead of $$$$
