give ‘em what they want: patron-driven collection development
DESCRIPTION
Charleston Conference Thursday, November 4, 201012:30 - 1:45 PMSpeakers: Karen Fischer - University of Iowa Libraries; Michael Wright - University of Iowa Libraries; Hope Barton - University of Iowa Libraries; Kathleen Clatanoff – YBPPatron-Driven Acquisitions (PDA) is the hot topic in collection management. It sets traditional notions of collection-building upside down, while also presenting vendors and publishers with very different business models. Collaborating with ebrary and YBP, the University of Iowa Libraries established a PDA pilot program in September 2009 which has proven to be extremely popular with users and seems to be working in the Libraries’ favor. PDA has advantages (you only buy materials that are used) but has some potential pitfalls too, like going broke quickly, or building an ebook collection that doesn’t necessarily fit in the long run. To help avoid a skewed collection, Iowa ran the ebrary PDA collection against our YBP virtual approval plan profile to better tailor the selections to our needs. While we don’t yet know very much about what it means for our collection or our monographic budget allocations in the long run, we have been analyzing our PDA e-book usage data, including examining subject areas, prices, and the use of PDA e-books compared to their print counterparts. This analysis is producing some interesting findings about library workflows and business models and we are pleased with where we are now with PDA e-book selection.This presentation will share what we have learned, gained, and changed as a result of our pilot experience, both from the perspective of the UI Libraries and our vendor partners, YBP and ebrary and how we expect to transition from a pilot project to a mainstream operation. The session will include much interaction with the audience related to alternative ways to filter PDA purchase choices, findings from other institutions, and additional data to be gathered and analyzed.TRANSCRIPT

Off the Shelf: Lugg cont’d
• 39.8% monographs never circulated during their first 6 years
• For books that didn’t circulate in first 2 years, chances of ever circulating were 1 in 4
• If a book didn’t circulate within first 6 years, chances of ever circulating were 1 in 50
![Page 5: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Off the Shelf: Lugg cont’d
• 54.2% of titles purchased in 1969 would not have been ordered if at least 2 uses were established as a criterion for a cost effective acquisitions program
• At ARL institutions, 56% of books never circulate
![Page 6: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Off the Shelf: Dennis Dillon
• Among ARL libraries, printed books on median have an 8% chance of circulating in any given year, or once every 12.5 years
• Conclusion: Books are an underperforming asset
![Page 7: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
E-books, here we come!
• Initial conversation with our friends at YBP, ALA Annual, July 2009
• Full discussion with YBP about our PDA needs, post ALA, July 2009
• PDA pilot with YPB/Ebrary began late August 2009
• From pilot to production, fall 2010
![Page 8: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Specifics for PDA
• Ebooks only • Non-mediated approach to title
acquisition by patrons• Instantaneous access to the ebook• Duplication control against ebooks
owned by the University
![Page 9: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Specifics
• UI deposited $25K to start• 10 uses would trigger a purchase• PDA pilot would not be announced to
the public• ebrary would provide MARC records
to load into our catalog
![Page 10: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Specifics• Initial offering of 100K titles – no
attempt to limit other than de-duplication against ebrary’s Academic Complete set
• Synergies of the Universe: by accident we loaded only 19K titles; this may have saved the pilot
![Page 11: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Specifics
• By Nov. 30 (pilot started Oct. 1) we spent $28K on 262 titles; weekly spend amount was increasing
• Clearly this was not sustainable given our finances
• Rather than bail, we regrouped
![Page 12: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
PDA2: The Fix
• While pleased with user response, the pace was unsustainable
• In conversation with YBP we decided to run the PDA title list against our virtual approval profile
![Page 13: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
PDA2: The Fix• We had also purchased ebook
collections from Wiley, Elsevier, and Springer; those were blocked
• When the results came in, fewer than 600 titles remained
• Date limitation was changed back to 2005 – boosted number to 9K
![Page 14: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Working Pilot – YBP Mechanics
• Bring in PDA titles from ebrary• Profile titles against U Iowa
requirements• Return to ebrary for MARC
information• Titles loaded to UIA catalog
![Page 15: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Rethinking Print Requirements
• Low number of titles in the initial profiling against print offered alternative solutions:
• Alter the ebook profiling requirements• Adopt an ebook profile to match the
print requirements exactly.
![Page 17: Give ‘Em What They Want: Patron-Driven Collection Development](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062319/5558af73d8b42a7e298b4768/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

PDA Now
• ebrary added add’l titles which went through the same limits, bringing collection to about 12K

Future analyses
• YBP and ebrary will share data – coming early 2011.
• Hope to get better data to analyze the subscription titles from ebrary.
• Statistics will change with ebrary’s change to definition of a “trigger” for purchase (Oct ‘10).

Conclusions & Questions
• Publishers are interested in all the data.• What does PDA mean for collection
management policies? For budget allocations?
• Ebooks data and management - in it’s infancy.• Changes in our collection development
practices• Trust the patron!
