![Cataloging PDA Records – Stage 2
MarcEdit & Regular Expressions
Primary RegEx components used in MarcEdit
• Character escapes: Backslash character () in a regular expression indicates that the following
character is either a special character or should be interpreted literally
e.g., d r n
• Anchors: Cause a match to succeed based on proximity within the string (beginning/end)
e.g., ^$
• Character classes: Matches set of characters specified within brackets
e.g., [] [^]
• Grouping constructs: Delineate sub expressions of a regular expression and capture substrings of
an input string
e.g., ()
• Quantifiers: Specifies number of element instances to be present in the input string for a match
to occur
e.g., *?+{#}
• Substitutions: Regular expression language elements that are supported in replacement patterns

PDA, DDA, UDA --- OMG!
- 2. What is PDA, DDA, UDA? “Patron Driven Acquisition” (PDA) “An e-book purchasing model, first introduced by NetLibrary, in which selection decisions are based on input from library patrons. Working with the vendor, the librarian establishes an approval profile based on classification, subject, educational level, publication date, cost, and other criteria. E-book titles matching the profile are then shared with the library's community of users via MARC records in the online catalog. When a specific e-book has been discovered and viewed a predetermined number of times, it is automatically purchased for the collection. Libraries with limited budgets can set spending limits on their PDA plans. Variations on this model have been developed by Ingram's MyiLibrary and by Ebook Library (EBL). Synonymous with demand-driven acquisitions.” ODLIS http://www.abc-clio.com/ODLIS/odlis_p.aspx “Demand Driven Acquisition” (DDA) Generally understood to be a synonym of PDA. Some publishers/vendors prefer this label for their model. “Usage Driven Acquisitions” (UDA) Recently emerged eBook purchasing model, closely related to PDA/DDA. It differs in requiring an upfront monetary commitment or deposit. This gives the library access to a defined collection of content. At the end of the agreed upon time period, usage stats of the accessible content is provided to the library. The library then decides which titles to own. The list prices of titles chosen generally total to the amount of initial commitment/deposit. “Evidence Based Acquisitions” Another new label within PDA/DDA models. Seems most similar to Usage-Driven Acquistion
- 3. Aggregators: PDA/DDA/UDA models Ebrary • Owned by ProQuest (2011) • Founded in 1999 • SUPO (single user) is primary model • Ebooks are purchased after 1st, 2nd, or 3rd loan. EBL • Owned by ProQuest • Launched in 2004 • Non-Linear Lending is primary model • EBooks purchased after preset number of loans. (1-7, set by library) MyiLibrary • Owned by Ingram • PDA model launched in 2010 • Several access models • Available to individual libraries and consortia EBSCO • EBSCO includes former NetLibrary eBooks • Launched in 2011 • 1, 3 or Unlimited Users • Ebooks are purchased after preset number of loans
- 4. Publishers: PDA/DDA/UDA models DeGruyter Patron-Driven Acquisitions October 2012 Journal articles, book chapters, ebooks Libraries choose format and collection Elsevier “Evidence Based Selections” eBooks % of collection total list price for deposit amount Gale Usage-Driven Acquisitions December 2013 eBooks Pricing depends on size school. Also have “Academic List” smaller collection Springer does not technically have a PDA model in place currently, although they have offered pilot programs at several universities. Wiley does not have a PDA model in place currently.
- 5. Sam Houston State University: PDA/DDA program Ebrary • June 2010— August 2011 • eBook PDA • Purchased immediately upon 1st trigger (No option for short- term loans) • Discontinued due to budget constraints • Overall, most purchased PDA eBooks only used once EBSCO • October 2012—present • Subscription unlimited users • Academic Collection • Affects titles excluded in PDA profile(s) • Also affects which requested eBooks are purchased. Ebrary • October 2012— August 2014 • eBook PDA • SUPO (single-user) • Purchased after 3rd loan • Price limit $300 • ___ % purchased PDA eBooks still only used once. • Approximately 265,000 eBooks in PDA profile EBL • August 2014— present • eBook DDA • Non-Linear Lending model, unlimited concurrent users • Purchase after 4th loan • eBook price limit $300. • Approximately 435,000 eBooks in PDA profile

SHSU Patron-Driven Acquisition Expenditures Ebrary: Fiscal Year 2011 (June 2010-Aug 2011) Short Term Loans Ebooks, purchased $19,727 $16,650 Ebrary: Fiscal Year 2013 (Oct 2012-August 2013) Short Term Loans Ebooks, purchased $21,669 $28,877 Ebrary : Fiscal Year 2014 (Sept 2013-Aug 2014) Short Term Loans Ebooks, purchased $4,855 $868 EBL : Fiscal Year 2015 (Sept 2014-present) Short Term Loans Ebooks, purchased $80,248 $36,337 $50,546 $5,723
- 8. Acquisitions Challenges: PDA/DDA programs • De-Duplication • System limitations • Currency of our list of owned/subscribed eBooks • Communication & Training • Staff members not overlaying records with print or eBook orders • Notifying cataloging when a PDA purchase happens • Timeliness regarding removing/adding PDA records • Maintenance • Titles moving in/out without notice • Single User model with multiple user demand • Staff Time Invested
- 9. LOOKING BACK Better supporting our distance-education and online courses Greatly reducing the amount of time between a patron-requested resource and giving them access to books (compared to “Request a book for purchase” service on our website, or InterLibrary Loan) Multiple concurrent user access is a better fit for how we use this service. Connecting an eBook with a unique username (randomized) seems to be preventing the same user from triggering an eBook multiple times (unless on purpose) reducing costs to the library Still PDA will likely be one method of acquisition for SHSU, not replacing collection development by librarians

Editor's Notes
- #2: Welcome to a discussion of the many variations of patron or demand driven acquisition models. My name is Kat Landry Mueller and I am the Monographs Acquisitions Librarian at Sam Houston State University. My colleague Zach Valdes is the Special Formats Cataloger. We both started our full-time careers as librarians in September 2012 and our first big project was to set-up and oversee an eBook PDA. After an initial explanation of the many iterations of PDA, we will share some of our learning experiences, frustrations, and lessons learned. Then we will open it up for discussion of any of your experiences with PDA/DDA/UDA as well as contemplate the future of this acquisition model.
- #8: The expenditures overall show that with the option of Short Term Loans, ebooks purchased is decreased and overall expeditures were reduced. While we do not yet have enough data on EBL DDA yet, the data is currently skewing towards significantly more loans than purchased ebooks.
- #9: Deduplication was a major issue with our Ebrary PDA. The system had limitations on how we could upload our ISBN list to de-duplicate our PDA profile against (20,000 each time and our list was over 200,000). For our Ebrary PDA programs, there was a lot of staff time and effort spent doing this initially and also attempting to repeat so any purchase made outside the PDA would not be duplicated in PDA loans/auto-purchases. EBL has been much more “hands-off” where you just send them the ISBN list and they de-duplicate your profile from the vendor’s side. Questions remain on how often it is feasible for us to send them this list to keep our profile currently. Debating quarterly? Communication between Cataloging and Acquisitions quickly took a front seat. The Special Formats Cataloger had to know when a PDA title was triggered for purchase so the Item Location, and 899 field could be updated. EBL and Ebrary currently offer different methods for obtaining new records that match your profile. While both systems send you email alerts of new eBooks matching your PDA profile’s criteria - Ebrary’s is currently much more library-managed and requires staff time to go into the Admin module and retrieve the new MARC records (and their system frequently timed out). EBL has been much more user-friendly since we are able to get initial and any new matching records via OCLC Knowledge Base Collection (already a subscriber). (?) Lastly, training was reviewed a few times when inadvertent overlay of print (or outside eBook) acquisition bib records onto PDA records happened. Largely this happened when using the SmartPort wizard within our SIRSI ILS. We also struggled previously to maintain accurate currency of the PDA records in our catalog when Ebrary would remove titles without notice. This frustrated patrons and librarians alike since we had a record in our catalog which was inaccessible. Staff Time involved maintaining a PDA is a big concern for libraries. Ebrary was much more of time-investment for us personally. As mentioned, the de-duplication frustrations and titles moving-in/out were two of our biggest issues, however Acquisitions also monitored turnaways, which was occasionally a problem with the SUPO model (and still is for our owned Ebrary titles). EBL set-up seemed much more streamlined and technical service was very communicative (along with our dedicated rep). However… some of our settings (non-mediated loans, high price point, etc.) allow for that. If your library chose to do mediated loans and/or purchases, it would require significantly additional staff time.
- #13: Picture of resources page showing main SHSU page, then vendor page, then EBL page
- #27: We are considering trying a couple of the Usage-Driven Acquisitions programs offered by vendors to see if these generate higher continued use of purchased eBooks. Largely this will depend on how much we have available in the budget to invest in trying this new acquisitions model Usage Driven Acquisition is also attractive because librarians will still retain control over which titles are permanently added to the library’s collection. This is important since PDA titles have thus far tend to be introductory or non-scholarly materials. However which publisher we decide to try will likely be determined after evaluating what ebooks/journal articles (if applicable) we already normally purchase, and the usage statistics on those items. Interestingly we have had much greater interest in streamed videos by students, faculty and librarians. While we do subscribe to several streaming video packages (Adam Matthews, Alexander Street Press, etc.) – there are still videos requested but not available in our current collections. Since we have recently begun using Kanopy as a hosting service for owned videos – their PDA streaming video collections may be something of interest in the future. Finally, there have been discussion and presentations at other conferences (ER&L 2013) regarding Patron or Demand Driven Acquisition models for serials/journals. As neither of us handle Serials, we are not experts in this field but the complexity of print serials does not seem to diminish if the format moves to electronic. Custom holdings would make de-duplication even more difficult than ebooks, as well as discontinued and transferred titles would seemingly create an endless flow of maintenance and review for the librarians to be responsible for.
