<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calisto MT","serif";color:#44546A">I am very interested in studying the effects of this approach – a one-fund, let-the-chips-fall-where-they-may model of collection development. I am beginning
to believe that natural selection will closely approximate the true need, thus allowing us to develop a collection that more accurately meets the needs than formal selection methods. Would anybody whose library has recently or will be soon changing from a
subject-based funding or formula model to a single-fund model be interested in collaborating on a study of these effects?

measures of quality collections (e.g. % of titles from university presses, or in OAT or other authoritative lists), and usage (ebook and/or print circulation) by subject before and after the switch. This kind of study would be fraught with
<s>pratfalls</s> pitfalls, but it could provide us with evidence on how these models compare with meeting our users’ needs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#002164">Our philosophy is that if you really want to embrace DDA, you can no longer commit to allocating at the subject level. A few years ago, we stopped allocating
for monographs and now only have one large monograph fund. We feared that we might over-spend or not collect in certain areas, but that has not been born out.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#002164"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#002164">In addition to eBook DDA profile programs, we also use demand driven acquisitions for pretty much any resource that is requested via ILL. If requests fit our
collecting guidelines, we purchase rather than borrow them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#002164"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#002164">This approach might not work at every library, but at our regional comprehensive university, it is a good solution for us. In addition to meeting the immediate
needs of our students and faculty, it takes the pressure of finding resources off of our liaisons whose time is stretched thin and who are not necessarily specialists in their assigned subjects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Our experience with DDA is that it actually spends far less than everyone fears. So we consider DDA purchases as if the liaisons had firm-ordered them for budget line purposes. We haven't
come anywhere close to the scenario you describe. If you have to worry about patrons buying worse choices of books than your liaisons want to select, your DDA profiles are probably too broad.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I wonder if anyone out there has come up with some magical scheme or prediction or formula for how to allocate subject or program-based funds to pay for DDA/PDA purchases?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">When we started our DDA program, we limited the profile to subjects that would support our distance and/or online programs. We paid for all purchases from one fund. Now we are thinking
of expanding the DDA plan to cover all programs, and we’re wondering how to allocate money from the subject/program-based funds. For print books, we’ve been experimenting with an allocation formula that includes several criteria or factors (student credit
hours per department, # faculty per department, etc.). But we’re struggling with how to factor in ebooks. How can we predict what we might spend on ebooks and what we should put aside for print books? For example: Let’s say the history department gets $15,000
to spend. Halfway into the year, DDA books have eaten all of that allocation but the liaison still has print books she wants to buy.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Our usage of ebooks – among all purchases, not just the DDA-initiated ones – is spread across many disciplines. That’s why we are thinking about putting additional subject areas
in our DDA profile.<o:p></o:p></p>
