Priority for PD is highDrivers
Economic crisis—increases not sustainableCost of maintaining lower use items in
questionSpace problems mean something must goCampus users still want collections but want
them at point of need.
Operational steps: BooksWork with book vendors that recognize need
for patron-driven options:
CSU exploring pilot with BBS & EBLPlacing record in catalog allows user to decide
format: electronic, print, or print on demandCollection control desirable: pilot is based on
current profiles of departments/disciplines
Operational: BooksNext Steps
Explore platform neutral interfaces with book vendors
Create one central interface for users
Simplify workflows Test hypothesis: less purchased in PD model
equals cost savings
Operational Steps: JournalsContinue to monitor trends
Deals are unsustainable/breaking up?Pay by the drink models for articles/not
subscriptions?Open access increasing/put in RapidIncreased deposits of articles in IR’s (just an
idea)New discoverability tools for federated
searching across formats, across local and regional catalogs, and IR’s, across publisher databases (e.g.,Summon)
Depends on vendor/publisher developments in the field
Re-educating students and facultyFaculty now rely on purchase plans supplying
core monographsDetermining workflows—extensive report
monitoring, record maintenanceDetermining financial impacts, increasing
budget risk?
Difficulty of Implementing
What impacts on collection development/ILL?How far will PD go? Where are core
collections still needed? Reference? What are workflows? Budget strategy (buy
until you run out? Risk of records in the catalog?)
Will this be an alternative to ILL?How will this impact publishing?
