3. SET UP QUESTIONS AND DECISIONS
Why Print PDA?
Which areas should be moved to PDA?
How long does it take to receive a book? Will it take
―too long?‖ How can we set reasonable
expectations?
What will it look like in our OPAC?
Will this add work for our patrons and library staff?
4. SET UP QUESTIONS AND DECISIONS
Real time stock check
Program for this = good idea of timing
Leave out = use a placeholder for timing
Form for patron
Ask lots of questions for follow up
Keep it simple or even leave out
Mediated or Unmediated
Requests directed to acquisitions
Or go straight to vendor

7. DRAKE UNIVERSITY PDA BACKGROUND
History of e-book PDA
with EBL—since 2009
Program has been
successful
8. WHY EXPAND ELECTRONIC PDA TO INCLUDE
PRINT?
Some same reasons as for ebook PDA:
Greater depth, breadth of titles available for patrons
More effective use of financial resources
Buy what patrons need when they need it
Some titles not available in electronic format, or not
available for a long time.
Some titles are exorbitantly expensive in an eformat (which our price limiters would exclude), but
are more reasonably priced in print
We wanted to include these materials in our PDA
offerings.
10. PILOT DEVELOPMENT
Four professional programs
Business, Journalism, Pharmacy,
Education
Strong Liaison support
Budget reallocation from dedicated
monograph line to PDA
Pilot began in April 2012 with soft roll-out
Pilot ran through August 2013
12. PROFILE DEVELOPMENT
Librarian & teaching faculty roles
Selection of format
Delay in electronic publication
Costs
How far back to go (we did current
and previous year)
22. HOW MANY PDA RECORDS DID PROFILE
GENERATE: BY THE NUMBERS
Four subject areas:
Business, Journalism, Psychology,
Education
Ebook records: 1,031
Print records: 2,378
Total Ingram Coutts PDA records
= 3,409

26. PILOT PROJECT: SUCCESS, FAILURE, OR
MIXTURE?
Success: Library & Teaching Faculty choose
parameters for PDA inclusion; librarians still have
role in Collection Development
Success: Wider variety of books made available to
patrons at point of need
Success: Didn’t spend money on unused materials.
More efficient use of acquisitions $
Mixed bag/Failure: Not enough titles available in
the catalog for patrons to discover
28. WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
We’ve just expanded the subjects covered to
include ALL subjects taught at Drake
We used existing ―slip‖ profiles with another vendor
as a starting point
We also refined the existing ―pilot profiles‖ to open
them up. Conclusion: we “over-engineered” the
profiling process initially.
Makes sense to let patrons decide on the ―slip‖
titles since there was something about them that
was not a ―dead ringer‖ for purchase
29. FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
EBL records. When/how will they ―play nice‖ with
Ingram Coutts PDA records? TBD: Potential
―filtering‖ of EBL records through the profiles in
2014
Overall Collection Development approach.
Do librarians still develop a print collection in a
―just-in-time‖ PDA world?
We would like to still develop a librarian & faculty
selected CORE print monograph collection. What
does that look like? How much is budgeted for
PDA vs. non-PDA monographs?
Weeding of PDA records. What is the magic
number for TOO MANY?
