“…25 However, Kingsley drew the opposite conclusion: of about 1,000 books cataloged at Western Michigan in September 1995, 50 percent of approval books had circulated within 5 months, while only 29 percent of books acquired by other means had circulated in the same period. 26 Whether or not books acquired via an approval plan reach the same level of use as librarian purchases depends in part on how individual libraries structure both methods of acquisition; however, the author was surprised at the low variance between these methods at Bowling Green State University over this time period.…”

This article outlines a study assessing and comparing the rate of use of nonreference print and electronic book collections acquired during the same time period at one academic library. Rate of use was examined for both collections by discipline and method of acquisition. IntroductionThis article outlines a study assessing and comparing the rate of use of nonreference print and electronic book collections by discipline and method of acquisition acquired during the same time period at one academic library. The author uses this data to explore, within the context of previously published research, how different collection development methods (firm-order and approval plans for print books and demanddriven acquisition of e-books) impact monograph use in academic libraries, whether print books have lost their value for library users, and how libraries can assess if and/ or when e-books are used more than print. This study is unique in attempting to compare use of all of a library's nonreference print and electronic monographs acquired during the same time period and also in its discussion of the rate of use of e-books from multiple studies. Thus, the article offers new perspectives on the transition of academic library collections from print to electronic format.

“…Nardini (2011) raises the issue of the contingent, transitory nature of e-book publishing models as a cautionary factor for providing longterm access under an exclusively DDA acquisitions model. A second issue for us was the still emerging understanding of the proper role of librarian selection in building strong collections; research by Tyler et al (2012) indicates that while patron selected titles are the most heavily used, librarian selections are more heavily used than approval plan provided titles. Finally, our sense from our own institution is that format still matters quite a lot to our patrons and that we are still quite a ways from an e-preferred consensus for monographs.…”

“…A recent article on this topic-though focused primarily on print materials-provides a thorough and extensive literature review. 32 As 2013 progressed, reports of DDA use continued to appear with Mays' comparison of circulation/usage statistics for print versus electronic titles acquired by a DDA and Wood's observations about the difference between patron immediate information needs and library collection's long-term goals.…”

Demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) programs have become a wellestablished approach toward integrating user involvement in the process of building academic library collections. However, these programs are in a constant state of evolution. A recent iteration in this evolution of ebook availability is the advent of large ebook collections whose contents libraries can lease, but not own only if they choose to do so. This study includes an investigation of patron usage and librarian ebook selection by comparing call number data generated by usage of three entities: (1) an ebrary PDA; (2) Academic Complete, which is a leased collection of ebooks; and (3) subject librarian selections based on the YPB approval plan at Iowa State University. The context is provided through a description of the development and evolution of demand driven acquisitions programs with an analysis of where libraries have been and where they are going with enhancing the collection development in academic libraries.wenty-five years ago, Futas and Vidor raised the question of what "constitutes a good collection."1 Although more than two decades have passed, creating a collection that effectively meets the needs of its patrons remains a core challenge for any library, academic or public. Since the days of Callimachus and the Alexandrian Library, librarians have often struggled to build collections for not only their contemporaries, but also for those individuals who will explore the collection's contents in decades or centuries to come.2 Over the years, diligent collection development librarians endeavored to create a balance between the exhaustiveness suggested by the seventeenth-century French bibliographer Gabriel Naudé, who observed that there was not a book "whatsoever, be it never so bad or disparaged, but may in time be sought for by someone," and the more modern belief of Yale librarian Andrew Keogh, who averred that the "number of volumes in a library means little more than their cubage or their weight; it is appropriateness, it is quality, that counts." 3To assist with the daunting task of keeping pace with the deluge of publishing that accelerated during the years following the Second World War, librarians sought to manage the selection process through the newly invented approval plan approach.
