References: <2100064820.5546050.1575413320122.ref@mail.yahoo.com> Message-ID: <2100064820.5546050.1575413320122@mail.yahoo.com> The era when Book Approval Plans were all the rage may be behind us, but I am working with a client who is exploring avenues to broaden his marketing efforts for his new business book to be released in electronic and print formats in January. I am thinking the approval plan may be one additional avenue, albeit probably small, to get his book into broader circulation. I am curious as to how many libraries out there subscribe to a book approval plan, whether print or electronic (DDA/PDA or EBA) and who you use. Thanks much!!!

The good news is the Proquest/Exlibris has released its style support for the new APA 7th Edition. The bad news is that they've made what I consider to be a very poor choice on how to handle the DOI. I've communicated with them about this and they're sticking to their lame arguments and made it clear that they won't change unless they get a lot of negative feedback from other customers. Here's the situation: APA 7th now requires DOIs to be formatted as: https://doi.org/10.blahblah RefWorks is requiring us to hardcode the entire https://doi.org/ prefix in the DOI field itself, rather than add it as part of the citation generation (like they do with pp. for page numbers, for instance). This violates the entire spirit of the RefWorks product, which is to have metadata be NOT edited to match a single particular style so they can be re-used easily with different styles. I have opened an IdeasExchange post on this, and if you have "votes" to use and care about this issue, I encourage you to apply some of your votes to it: https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/909445-refworks/suggestions/39183304-apa-7th-style-should-insert-http-prefix-to-doi-no Melissa Belvadi Collections Librarian University of Prince Edward Island mbelvadi at upei.ca 902-566-0581 ORCID iD: 0000-0002-4433-0189 my public calendar Make an appointment via YouCanBookMe Get your flu shot!

(It has been a couple of years since we participated in a DDA program with them.) Once you hit the trigger point, you automatically purchase the book. They also have several other acquisitions models if you decide they are a better fit. JSTOR has an eBook DDA that is based on the number of chapters viewed (6) or downloaded (4). If you are interested in health topics, Rittenhouse's R2 Library's PDA program allows three uses of a book before the library has to decide to either purchase the book or simply lose access to it. There are likely other DDA options I do not know about. Good luck!
