| Summary |
"This enlightening new book in the Practical Guides for Librarians series presents the practicalities of developing, implementing, and evaluating use-driven acquisitions (UDA) in academic and special libraries, from the multidimensional perspectives of collections, acquisitions, and e-resources. Now that UDA is a proven method of collection management used by a variety of libraries around the globe, the need for a straightforward, uncomplicated guidebook is essential. This book is both a reference and a guide for current and future librarians. In addition to chapters highlighting UDA plans for a e-book, print, and article resources, the book also considers budgeting, interlibrary loan, consortia UDA, ongoing management and assessment strategies, and stimulating future trends. Of special interest are project management cycles that detail each phase (with associated steps) of implementing UDA plans and relevant case studies that involve librarians and vendors who have established UDA plans in libraries of different types and sizes. Implementing and Assessing Use-Driven Acquisitions provides a practical methodology for setting up use-driven acquisition plans to acquire print and electronic books for users in academic and special libraries. Every chapter covers important collection development and budgeting objectives and proposes methods to assess the cost and usage of the content received to determine the effectiveness of and potential modifications to the UDA plans. Practical features that can be used in day-to-day operations include: project management lifecycle, with phases and steps for successful implementation; sample reports and executive summaries for administrators; marketing and branding strategies; step-by-step checklists; assessment tools and examples; multiple case studies of various types of libraries, including budgets and current UDA policies; evaluative survey questions; interview transcripts; glossary of terms and acronyms"--Unedited summary from book cover |
