Hello CORE CITSIG members,
It's time for our monthly discussion topic on a conundrum that seems like it could have many unique approaches. Especially with all of the recent changes in the ebook ordering marketplace, it seems like talking about ebook acquisitions could be a fruitful topic.
There are so many models for ebook purchasing, what criteria does your library use to determine which selection models they will participate in, including: firm ordering whole front lists, relying on an e-preferred approval plan, signing up for a Demand Driven Acquisitions(DDA) Program, or opting for an Evidence-Based Acquisitions (EBA) plan?
We are interested to hear your ideas!
