“…However, through the implementation of access-informed collection development strategies like those discussed here, ILL has the potential to take on a more active role in collection development. Again, ILL is not just an institutional stop-gap, allowing collection managers to avoid the hard question of 34 COLLECTION MANAGEMENT how to achieve a balance between access and ownership. Instead, it is a source of valuable information about user needs.…”

“…33 Kristine Anderson reports similar outcomes for Purdue, which implemented a "Books on Demand" program in 2000. 34 Through careful review of ILL requests, selectors for these programs identified items that increased the value of their collections beyond their ownership cost. Spokespersons for these programs agree that just-in-time acquisitions helps to make the selection process more accountable to patrons' needs, tends to get materials into patrons' hands more quickly than ILL, and, because just-in-time acquisitions allows patrons to hold onto items longer, tends to increase user satisfaction.…”

Addressing the problem of access versus ownership and surveying uses of ILL data in collection assessment, this paper argues for a model of access-informed collection development that brings subject analysis and just-in-time acquisitions together into a single, unified method. Drawing upon the work of John Ochola, this paper articulates a method of subject analysis that combines holdings, circulation, and ILL data to determine the use characteristics of particular LC subclasses. It then combines this access-informed subject analysis with just-in-time acquisitions. This paper argues that access-informed subject analysis improves on assessment methods that do not include all three variables, and that just-in-time acquisitions augments subject analysis by providing selection guidance beyond the level of LC subclasses, as well as discrete, measurable feedback on selection decisions.

“…Patron-Driven Acquisition has become a topic of discussion at recent meetings of library associations, several articles have been recently published and a book on the subject is appearing in early 2012 [4]. Anderson et al discuss the book on demand program of the Purdue university libraries which has been operating since 2000 [5]. In this program, books requested through interlibrary loan were purchased rather than being borrowed from other libraries.…”

Abstract. The concept of readers participating in the selection of library materials has been around for some time, but in recent years, with the the popularity of smart mobile phone, new opportunities for patron-based selection have emerged. In this paper, we propose a patron driven acquisitions mode via mobile crowd sensing in the support of Social ,Local and Mobile technologies that named SoLoMo in short. Explored the usage of SoLoMo technologies such as participatory sensing, crowd sourcing, social recommendation, based on WeChat platform, we propose and develop a mobile application named RDASLC to collect readers' need. First, we illustrates the development process of collection development mode, then introduced the state of art of mobile library information services, especially focusing on four SoLoMo technologies: mobile crowd sensing, crowd sourcing, participatory sensing, public application development technology. The body of this paper describes in detail the analysis and design of PDAWA , emphasized to elaborate the overall framework of PDAWA, and clarifies the design thinking of simplify readers input operation and cover the needs of all readers, then analyze the three core foundation components of PDAWA, including: Bibliographic information databases, data analysis module and purchase order generation algorithm.

“…ILL staff buy books that meet preestablished criteria, such as price, publisher, and publication date; upon receipt, patrons check out the books and then return them to be added to the local library collection . The success of print-based PDA programs, as documented by studies that analyze titles purchased through such programs, eventually led to the development of PDA for e-books (Anderson et al, 2010;Bracke, 2010;Nixon & Saunders, 2010;Nixon, Ward, & Freeman, 2014;Tyler, Falci, Melvin, Epp, & Kreps, 2013). Swords (2011a) states that "PDA is the product of technology and very specifically of the coming of the age of e-books" (p. 2).…”

One of the great scholarly publishing success stories of the past decades has been the systematic transition from print to electronic that major academic publishers and libraries alike have conducted for scholarly journals. We tend to focus on the limitations of this transition, such as bundled pricing models and challenges such as smaller publishers still clinging to print or richly illustrated titles that do not always display well in digital formats. At the same time, the overall transition has been remarkably orderly and responsible, yielding meaningful improvements in discovery and access. Compared with journals, the possibility of a format transition for books presents a different set of opportunities, and far greater complexity, for academic libraries and publishers alike. In this book, contributors review some of the exciting initiatives that are being mounted in an effort to incorporate e-books into library acquisition, discovery, and access channels. As has been the case for e-journals, we are developing institutional licensing models, allowing for the creation of library "collections" of e-books often spread across a variety of platforms. Although publishers try to retain the revenues associated with heavily used materials, libraries seek to manage expenditures by maintaining sharing models and responding to community demand with greater sophistication. Even if e-books are growing unevenly, libraries and content providers can take much satisfaction in the progress that has been made to introduce this valuable new format for books.
