How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Trust My Users* Date: Wednesday,

Is your library still on the fence about shifting your collection and
development policy to include PDA? Have you considered going all in and
letting your customers drive your print and electronic collection
completely? If so, you’ve probably gone through a list of trepidations
about how your collection might turn into an unbalanced, out of control,
financial disaster. We are here to assure you that your fears can be put
aside and you can trust your customers.

Description: This webinar will examine how the University of Arizona
libraries developed a set of metrics to inform us on the changing shape of
our collection as a result of our PDA Program. We will discuss how we
created the metrics, the sources we use to gather and evaluate the data,
and how the collection has changed as a result. Learning outcomes:
Attendees will learn how to develop metrics for evaluating a PDA program,
learn how to identify and find data sources, and understand the effect of
PDA on the UA Libraries collection. Who should attend? Collection
Development and Management, Acquisitions, Electronic Resources in Libraries
