PDA CHECKLISTOLA TENGSTAM MALM UNIVERSITY
1 PDA CHECKLIST
A summary of experiences made from a ten months project with PDA at three swedish university Libraries
Malm, Sdertrn and Uppsala
Malm and Uppsala 12 000 FTE
Sdertrn 8 500 FTE
PDA CHECKLIST
WHAT IS PDA?
Patron Driven Acquisition PDA is a concept offered by e-book aggregators
The Library exposes a huge number of unowned e-books in their local catalogue
The Library doesnt pay anything to the aggregator to import marc-records and expose these e-books
PDA CHECKLIST
WHAT IS PDA?
Patrons can then browse these books free for a period set by the aggregator
After finished browsing period, patrons can continue reading the book
A short term loan is then triggered for a certain cost paid by the library. Normally 10% of list price for 1 day short term loan
PDA CHECKLIST
WHAT IS PDA?
After a set number of loans the book is automatically purchased
At Malm we set up a limit of three loans
The forth time a patron wants to make a loan, the book is automatically purchased
This means that the library only pays for books that actually are used
PDA CHECKLIST
WHY PDA?
A project financed by the National Swedish Library
Main focus: Create a basis of knowledge that should be useful for other libraries
Project started in February. Test period May- September
Report published online in December
PDA CHECKLIST
BASIS OF KNOWLEDGE
Summarizing our experinces during the test
Gathering experiences from other University libraries
Making a survey of what PDA models aggregators offer
Aggregators for the test were chosen based on this survey
Check list in the end of the report. Gathers the most important aspects to consider before starting working with PDA
PDA CHECKLIST
PDA CHECKLIST
The Checklist consists of 11 main categories of aspects to consider before starting with PDA
The main categories are divided into 53 sub categories
Some examples from the checklist on the following slides

POSSIBLE PDA OBJECTIVES
Better collectionBetter serviceReplacing manual purchasingSaving money
Think about what goals are important to you where should your focus be? Be aware of the fact that all these goals probably cant be achieved at the same time.

Check if the collection from the distributor meets the librarys needs and choose your distributor in accordance with your requirements

FINANCES
Budget How much of its budget is the library willing to commit to PDA? For example, should it use a certain percentage of the monograph budget?
Price model What does the distributors price model include? Are there any additional charges, for instance a platform charge?
PDA CHECKLIST
FINANCES
Experiences from Malm:
Budget for 150 000 SEK, outcome 48 000 SEK (circa 7000 $)
32 purchased books, 572 STL:s
36 mediated STL:s
1762 browsings
PDA CHECKLIST
FINANCES
Average purchase price 80 $.
Average STL price 8 $
All three libraries in the project set up a higher budget than the outcome
Lesson learned: It is hard to predict the outcome due to contextual differences
