<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;" class="">At UNC one the first things I tell new subject librarians is the library is not paying them to select books, because the obvious print monographs are being acquired on approval plans or blanket/standing orders,
while for e-books en bloc acquisitions by packages or leased collections subscriptions increasingly take care of much of the core with the DDA providing an excellent cost-effective option for problematic titles.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 14px;" class="">Instead of ordinary and obvious book selection, UNC wants its subject librarians to concentrate their collections time on selecting resources where human intervention and professional judgment actually is needed
or specialized knowledge is required as well as on higher-level functions such as helping to develop and revise collection profiles and evaluate acquisitions programs.</p>

The conversation becomes even more difficult when trying to present them with hard data, as I have done internally, that demonstrates that about half of the books they selected never circulated at all. They get cornered into making absurd arguments like "it

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.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <u class="">

<p class="MsoNormal"> <u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<u class=""></u><u class=""></u></p>
