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

[Deborah Bezanson]

Melissa,

I don't know about getting a report, nor do I know about Ebsco's DDA.

But for Proquest LibCentral, you can go into your Admin settings and set a
rule to mediate the purchase if an STL is not available and that may help.

 In our case, we found that the price caps are not grandfathered, so
although we set a price cap in GOBI for $200, once the record is in our
catalog, we would be charged the going rate at the time of purchase, which
in a few cases was significantly higher.  To fix that, we had to go into
LibCentral to set the autopurchase price limit to $200 there as well.
