[Eril-l] question re STL-DDA with EBSCO, Proquest, YBP

[Emily Judith Ray]

Melissa,

We have a DDA plan with gobi for Ebscohost ebooks with 1 STL before a
triggered purchase.  I thought that the emails we get from gobi "Important
changes to your collection" included both titles that publishers had
removed from the DDA pool altogether, and titles that were removed from our
pool due to the publisher removing the STL option. We then manually remove
these titles from our catalog, and Ebsco removes them from EDS
automatically.

I'm going to confirm with gobi that the titles that drop the STL option are
included on this lists. I know we don't get a triggered purchase on the
first use when a title loses the STL option.

Emily
