Today’s SessionHow 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

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

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

Does DDA Change the Role of the Library?

Long-term stewardship vs provision of robust collection for current research and teachingDoes the method of building the

collection matter in this context?
