<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Montserrat">It somewhat depends on how you have your budget set up. Also, by requests are you referring to books, videos, journals, databases, or more than one of the above? How much of your budget
is already committed to ongoing subscriptions? Of the amount that is left, how much of it do you want to proactively choose versus using demand driven acquisitions? And do you want to commit any of that into the ongoing commitment, or just focus on books and
other one-times.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Montserrat">We decided about a decade ago to basically go 100% patron driven for monographs (favoring electronic access). We took away subject allocations and just purchased whatever people requested
via ILL (but only if it was academic in nature – purely popular or outdated stuff we ILL’ed). I wrote about this in an
<a href="https://docs.lib.purdue.edu/atg/vol30/iss5/50/">Against the Grain article</a> in 2018.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Montserrat"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Montserrat">As a result of purchasing primarily DDA, we do have some currency gaps now, and are finding that students will often just pick what we have rather than requesting newer titles. So we’re
swinging back to doing a little focused curation with faculty, making sure that the titles they suggest work well for an undergraduate audience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Montserrat"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Montserrat">If you have to prioritize, look at your mission. For example, if your main focus is students, make sure the resources are good choices for meeting class assignments.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA">I was wondering if any one can share how their library prioritizes user requests. We have spent the last year trying to encourage students and faculty to submit resource requests if they believe there are gaps in the
collection. We received a few requests, and now we need to determine how we should prioritize them. We do not have the staff and budget to evaluate and purchase all of the resources at the same time. Do we prioritize based on the largest faculty? Should it
be based on biggest need?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
