Because subject librarians have other duties in addition to collections, they need to keep competing responsibilities balanced. While subject librarians of course have a role in selection, spending too much time on ordinary/regular books that can be acquired
algorithmically and systemically or via broad-based user needs such as the DDA is not only a poor use of time but takes away from the more complex and problematic selection of resources. It also can contribute to a neo-Cartesian mentality of “I select therefore
I am”, especially when the library has balkanized collection budgeting.</p>

In my view, the key question always comes down to <i class="">where can the librarian add value.</i> And the answer with regard to book selection on a title-by-title basis comes down to supplementing the other avenues by which a library acquires or makes available
books.</p>

more qualitative. One example would be if a prof is teaching economics/sociology/etc from an x perspective. Then most students will choose books reflective of the prof’s ideology since ... take your pick of reasons. Some may pick books promulgating the less
travelled perspective but depending on pda thresholds…these may not make it into the collection. Thus human intervention and professional judgement to fill in the collection via whatever route needed, be it individual selection, PDA/DDA/standing orders tweaking,
etc. Not to mention burgeoning areas of the field that can only be identified quantitatively after the fact, but may be spotted by a librarian noticing shifts in emphasis in a specific field of endeavor.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

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.</span><o:p class=""></o:p></div>

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 class=""></o:p></div>

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 class=""></o:p></div>

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 class=""></o:p></div>
