<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">Yes. Same here. And we also take a curatorial approach. So we work to highlight to faculty in our liaison areas the things we *<b>already have</b>* in our collection that meet their curricular
needs. For example, they might want us to digitize a VHS from 1985 that they love, but instead we point them to some more current content already available in our streaming collections.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif">As to other comments about subject librarians taking time to learn their area to proactively collect… yes, that’s what we did in the past. But data from several studies which show that PDA
books are used more than librarian-selected books led us to question this approach. Why spend time guessing which books faculty and students might need when we could spend that time collaborating with them to make curated subject guides for their classes,
embedding ourselves in their Blackboard rooms, or teaching them about open access and helping them publish journals in our repository? There’s a whole range of meaningful liaison activities beyond picking books. Here’s a great resource for exploring new liaison
approaches that we used when we created our new matrix of activities when we re-tooled our liaison program a couple of years ago:

big pot for firm orders. It has worked beautifully and taken the pressure off liaisons, who at our regional comprehensive institution are not necessarily subject experts in their liaison area. Other than our specialty libraries (Law, Education, Music, Business),
100% of our book ordering is patron-driven. We started with an EBL collection, but moved away from that because the short-term loan costs became so outrageous. We are now using JSTOR’s DDA program and it gets so much more per-titles use – patrons like it because
they are familiar with the platform and the rights are quite liberal. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

DDA is built into both our print and eBook workflows. When someone requests a title we don’t have via ILL, a collection development librarian in our Acquisitions department quickly reviews the request and approves it for purchase if it fits certain criteria.
We use ILLIAD to pass requests back and forth from ILL to Acquisitions/Cataloging staff members.

and practice. Three years ago, we implemented an access-based collection development plan, meaning we began to favor DDA/EBA in all its forms. We had already made the decision to prefer electronic format and didn’t distinguish between print and electronic
format in our funds. We have a large DDA program with automatic discovery records being ingested weekly, based on our profile. We supplement this with large EBA packages of ebooks. When a single title is suggested, we attempt to get the record via DDA first;
if it’s not available DDA, we buy the ebook outright; if electronic format is not available, we buy the print version. We make case-by-case exceptions for print format as needed.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">The changes we experienced with this new plan center around workload and attitude. The workload changed
from title-by-title ordering to managing the DDA program—it’s like a garden, it must be constantly monitored. Librarians and professors
<i>can</i> but aren’t <i>required</i> to request titles as in the past. Our ordering specialists spend more time requesting DDA titles than they used to. Collection Development has a fine-grained amount of control over what’s coming in; while that’s good for
the stewardship of funding, it’s a lot of responsibility. It’s been an interesting journey for everyone, but particularly us librarians, to adapt to a just-in-time environment. Our funding doesn’t give us the opportunity to buy everything for everyone who
ever will attend UNT, so we are just trying to serve the needs of today’s users.

funds into two giant funds—one for ongoing costs and one for firm orders) and set up an internal data-collection database to support decision-making.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

ordering and devote almost all of the paltry remains of our monograph budget to various forms of EBA and DDA, with firm ordering reserved only for materials required for specific courses. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

create catalog records for on-demand ordering of print books as well as ebooks that are not otherwise DDA/EBA'able, but I anticipate such a move will result in a near death-knell to our print book collecting. Hence my justification for posting this in the
"electronic resources" listserv.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
