3. A Quick Overview of DDA
Rationale
Many books don’t get used
Libraries only buy a tiny % of published output
eBooks don’t need to be purchased at point of
publication
Print more complicated
Components
Free discovery
Temporary access
Purchase (sometimes)
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
4. Today’s Session
How do we make DDA work on a large
scale?
How does this impact
libraries, publishers, vendors?
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
5. The “Consideration Pool”
All of the books available for access
through the DDA program
Potentially much larger than a
traditional collection
Can be tightly controlled or not –
library preference
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
6. Long-Term Management of
the Consideration Pool
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
7. Filling the Pool
Approval process
Broader criteria
Inclusion rather than exclusion
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
8. Adding/Removing Records
Discovery is key
Must be automatic
Discovery record service
Profiling on both ends
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
9. Pool Maintenance
Rules for
Length of time in pool
Removal
Replacement
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
10. Removal of Titles
Removal because of content, quality
Removal because of financial risk
Rules for temporary removal
Rules for permanent removal
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
11. Removal?
May not be necessary at all
Large enough budget and small
enough user base may allow
permanent access to unlimited titles
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
12. Use Shapes the Pool
Titles that are used remain available
a bit longer
Removing titles = unhappy users
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
13. A Permanent Collection
Some titles are core
Establish criteria for permanent/longer-term
availability
Title-by-title
Series
Publisher
Subject
How do we make sure that un-owned
titles are available in the future?
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
14. What About Consortial DDA?
Tension between?
Goal of consortial purchasing: shared
access for discounted group price
Goal of DDA – pay for only what is
needed (locally)
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
15. Does DDA Change the Role
of the Library?
Long-term stewardship vs provision
of robust collection for current
research and teaching
Does the method of building the
collection matter in this context?
Hosted by ALCTS, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services
