25
How would we do things differently if we were to do it
again?
•Was the trigger definition satisfactory?
•How would we re-define a “unique view”?
•What additional metrics would assist in assessment?
Acquisitions Institute, May 2011

•How to balance patron-driven demand with
traditional collection development strategies, e.g.
approval plans
•How does the volatility around the future of the book
influence this conversation? And who should our
partners be?
