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.</span></font></p><p dir="ltr" style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt"><font color="#000000" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:14.6667px;line-height:20.24px;white-space:pre-wrap">
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
