Pda charleston 2010: Patron-Driven Acquisition of MonographsMichael Levine-Clark
This document summarizes presentations from the 2010 Charleston Conference on patron-driven acquisition (PDA) of ebooks. It discusses:
1) Results from the University of Denver's PDA program with EBL, which saw over 1,400 short-term loans of ebooks, saving the university over $226,000 compared to purchasing all browsed titles.
2) A survey of university presses that found over half were unfamiliar with their library's PDA activities and most believed PDA could negatively impact monograph sales and their ability to forecast sales.
3) Challenges in budgeting, maintaining collections, and rethinking interlibrary loan models under PDA discussed by presenters.

Michael Levine-Clark presented on demand-driven acquisition (DDA) as a strategy for building monographic collections. He discussed how DDA allows libraries to provide access to a much larger collection by only paying for content that is used, matching acquisitions to immediate demand. The University of Denver implemented a DDA program through EBL in 2010 that has expanded access while spending less than traditional purchasing models. DDA provides both challenges and opportunities for managing the consideration pool and defining the long-term collection.

The document summarizes the University of Denver's implementation of demand-driven acquisition (DDA) for ebooks and print books. It discusses data showing a high percentage of unused books purchased under the previous just-in-case model. The new DDA model allows books to be purchased only after a certain number of uses or short-term loans, reducing unnecessary spending. The transition involves setting up plans with ebook vendors EBL and YBP to provide access and integrate purchasing workflows with the library system. Assessment of the new model will examine use data and purchasing patterns over time.

Building Better Collections on Demand: DDA at the University of DenverMichael Levine-Clark
This document discusses demand-driven acquisition (DDA) at the University of Denver (DU). It summarizes DU's experience with DDA programs like netLibrary and EBL. Some key points:
- DDA allows DU to provide a much broader collection by matching acquisitions to immediate demand through short-term loans and purchase-on-demand.
- Through EBL, DU was able to provide access to over 10,000 ebook titles while spending less per transaction than anticipated list prices.
- DU aims to expand its multi-format DDA model to include more vendors and formats like print-on-demand.
- Long-term, DU hopes to maintain a permanent collection through DDA while
This document summarizes a presentation on demand-driven acquisition (DDA) given at the Charleston Conference in 2011. It defines DDA and patron-driven acquisition (PDA) and discusses why libraries are adopting these models. Data is presented showing the decline in print book purchases and rise in ebook purchases. The presentation addresses challenges in DDA like availability of ebooks from publishers and how a multi-format DDA model could work to expand collections on demand within budget constraints.

Demand-Driven Acquisition: Minor Shift or Fundamental changeMichael Levine-Clark
This document discusses demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) models that allow libraries to purchase ebooks based on patron usage rather than upfront selection. It outlines the DDA program at the University of Denver, which loads records for tens of thousands of ebooks and allows short-term loans before purchase. Data shows increasing usage and purchases through the program. The author advocates expanding DDA to include multiple ebook vendors and formats, and making as much content as possible accessible within the library's budget. Publishers are urged to make ebooks available through all DDA models and ensure content is discoverable.

THURS C1 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM Do Humanities & Social Sciences E-books Get Used? Location: Holiday Inn, Cooper Room B Thread: FOR Speakers: Matt Barnes – ebrary; Neil Sorensen – ebrary; Carol Zsulya - Cleveland State University It is a common belief that e-books are less conducive to studies and general research in the humanities and social sciences. As the reasoning goes, patrons in these fields are primarily interested in immersive reading and e-books do not suit this purpose. In this session speakers will present a case that this belief is largely false. Utilizing ebrary usage statistics that go back more than a decade and span multiple library types, evidence will be presented that suggests patrons do utilize e-books in many of the humanities and social sciences, and in many cases, utilize this material quite heavily. Speakers will interpret the data presented and discuss how findings here could better inform collection and acquisition decisions in libraries. Discussion with attendees will be encouraged.
This document summarizes the findings of a study on demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) at Indiana University Bloomington. It was found that 40% of the 800 DDA titles purchased between 2011-2014 were also held in print. Subjects in the humanities and social sciences had the most duplicated titles. 58% of duplicated titles were from non-university presses. Usage data showed more use of electronic formats than print. Top used titles and subjects are listed. Challenges in comparing print and electronic usage data are discussed. User attitudes on print vs. electronic are also reviewed based on previous literature. Further questions are raised and additional investigation is recommended.

The Value of Purchasing E-books From A Large PublisherAaron K. Shrimplin
This document summarizes a usage analysis of e-books from Oxford University Press that were made available through OhioLINK's Electronic Book Center between 2008-2011. Key findings include:
- A small number of frequently used titles accounted for the majority of downloads, following the Pareto principle.
- Long tail titles with few uses constituted a small percentage of total downloads.
- Subject areas like business and economics had higher usage than other subjects.
- Usage increased over time, showing the value of perpetual access through big deal packages.
- The analysis suggests that selecting only popular subject collections or titles could provide good value and savings compared to purchasing entire big deal packages.

Access to Freely Available Journal Articles: Gold, Green, and Rogue Open Ac...Jason Price, PhD
A recent bibliometrics study found that 54% of 4.6 million scientific papers from peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus during the years 2011-2013 could be downloaded for free on the internet in April of 2014 (Archambault, et al. 2014). As time rolls on, authors and researchers are increasingly using more-and-less legal scholarly article sharing services to "take back the literature," or even just to access it more conveniently (Bohannon, 2016). The objective of this study was to evaluate a manageable sample of journal articles across the sciences, social sciences and humanities for their availability in gold, green and rogue open access forms, including ResearchGate and Sci-Hub. Attendees will gain a greater appreciation of the extent of open access availability through Google Scholar, Google and commercial discovery systems, and will be challenged to roll with the times by expanding the role of libraries in broadening access to the freely available literature.

The document discusses the tensions between academic libraries' missions of preserving knowledge for future generations and serving the current needs of students and faculty. It notes that libraries are moving away from primarily permanent collections towards more temporary access models using leasing and subscriptions. A potential future model is outlined where libraries focus on immediate access to all relevant content through various temporary means while ensuring future access through initiatives like print archiving. This broader temporary collection approach could fulfill both the preservation and access missions if issues like ensuring access to out-of-print titles are addressed.

Levine-Clark, Michael, “Measuring Discovery: The Impact of Discovery Systems on Journal Usage,” Invited. INFORUM Conference on Professional Information Resources, Prague, May 26, 2015. [John McDonald and Jason Price]
1. A study analyzed the impact of four discovery services on journal article usage across six publishers and 33 libraries over two years.
2. The study found that every discovery service increased journal usage compared to the control group, but the size of the increase differed between services and across libraries and publishers.
3. Usage changes were influenced by factors like library configurations, metadata quality, and availability of full text in aggregators. More research is needed on how discovery impacts other content types and why certain results occurred.

This document discusses trends in e-resources in academic libraries. It outlines how libraries' roles are evolving from managing print collections to managing multiple streams of digital content through various acquisition models like subscriptions, demand-driven acquisition, and licensing. It also examines challenges like declining budgets and new content types. The document analyzes different access models for ebooks and journals, balancing factors like cost, rights, and long-term access. It notes the complexity of evaluating e-resources given issues with usage data and determining value across platforms.

The document discusses recommendations for new forms of discovery and purchasing in libraries using demand-driven acquisitions (DDA). It outlines four broad goals for DDA programs: saving money, spending the same amount more wisely, providing broader access, and building a permanent collection via patron input. The recommendations address establishing goals, choosing content and DDA models, profiling, loading and removing records, assessment, preservation, and consortial DDA. The presentation of these recommendations aims to develop a flexible DDA model that meets local needs while allowing for consortial participation and cross-aggregator implementation.

Levine-Clark, Michael, John McDonald, and Jason Price, "Discovery or Displacement?: A Large Scale Longitudinal Study of the Effect of Discovery Systems on Online Journal Usage," Charleston Conference, November 7, 2013.
Plenary session for Charleston Conference 2013. Authors: Michael Levine-Clark, John McDonald, Jason Price. In this first large scale study of the effect of discovery systems on electronic resource usage, the authors present initial findings on how these systems alter online journal usage by academic library researchers. The study examines usage of content hosted by four major academic journal publishers at 24 libraries that have implemented one of the major discovery systems, EBSCO's EDS, Ex Libris' Primo, OCLC's Worldcat Local, or SerialsSolutions’ Summon. A statistically rigorous comparison of COUNTER-compliant journal usage at each library from the 12 months before and after implementation will determine the degree to which usage rises or falls after discovery tool implementation and address rumors that discovery tools differ in their impact on electronic resource usage.

Levine-Clark, Michael, and Barbara Kawecki, "Best Practices for Demand-Driven Acquisition of Monographs: Preliminary Recommendations of the NISO DDA Working Group," Charleston Conference, November 8, 2013.
Since Summer 2012, a National Information Standards Organization (NISO) working group has been developing a recommended practice regarding Demand-Driven Acquisition. This group, consisting of librarians, publishers, e-book aggregators, and approval and ILS vendors, has gathered feedback through surveys, interviews, and focus groups, and will present draft recommendations and ask for audience reactions.
The working group plans to release a final report in Spring 2014. This session will provide a crucial opportunity for stakeholders to respond to preliminary findings of the group, including detailed results of its recent international survey of stakeholders about DDA practices and opinions. The report will include recommendations on:
Best practices for populating and managing the pool of titles under consideration for potential purchase, including methods for automated updating and removal of discovery records;
Development of consistent models for the three basic aspects of e-book DDA – free discovery to prevent inadvertent transactions, temporary lease, and purchase – that work for publishers and libraries;
Methods for managing DDA of multiple formats; and
Models and strategies for measuring and predicting use.

• Users examine a lot of pages in art books (N)
but spend a relatively small amount of time
(a lot like technology (T))
62. There are many ways to measure use
• Difference from predicted use
• Depth vs breadth
– Books used a lot vs a lot of books used
• Type of use (session, view, download)
