“…PDA plans are often executed as a way to realize cost savings, yet England and Anderson acknowledge that "PDA models do not necessarily lead to cost savings, but they do by their very nature forge a strong connection between acquisition and real-world usage, making PDA a potentially attractive model for libraries concerned about maximizing the effective use of their acquisition fund." 25 This finding is consistent with other researchers, such as Dinkins and Schroeder, who have found that PDA selected materials enjoy excellent circulation.…”

The acquisitions literature published in 2012–13 shows a strong focus on nontraditional purchasing models, especially for electronic books (e-books). Patron Driven Acquisition (PDA) is one method that helps librarians cope with budget constraints that continue to plague library budgets. The expense of Big Deals has some libraries seeking more efficient alternatives such as Pay-Per-View or Evidence-Based Selection, however, many libraries are still reliant on the depth of coverage and perceived value of Big Deals. This review will cover these trends along with developments in Electronic Resources Management Systems (ERMSs), workflow efficiencies, and negotiation and licensing techniques.

“…A striking feature of the project is how little demand exists even with a very low barrier to access -Nature Climate Change costs USD4,985, but had only 12 uses costing $96 (over nine months). It would be interesting to see a comparative study with DeepDyve (England and Anderson, 2013).…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the literature concerning interlending and document supply. Design/methodology/approach – The study included the review of over 130 journals and related material. Findings – The race to build and deliver a system for dealing with the vast increase in OA-deposited manuscripts in the USA continues. Public access to publishers’ e-content is being made available in UK public libraries as part of the Finch report agreement. More developments in Patron-Driven Acquisition are described and much else. Originality/value – Represents a useful resource for librarians and others concerned with interlending and document supply and such related matters as resource sharing and open access.

“…Several articles (England and Jones, 2014;Jones and England, 2014;England and Anderson, 2013;and Weisbrod, 2014) report on the earlier development and piloting of ReadCube Access in libraries. Lancet, (2013),;Fenton (2014) and Hughes (2014)) review ReadCube, the bibliographic management client software.…”

Purpose – This paper aims to update information on ReadCube Access and briefly reviews its history. The study also reports on the use of ReadCube Access by five US academic libraries. Design/methodology/approach – A series of questions was distributed to selected academic libraries using ReadCube Access. Survey recipients were asked to describe the library and the institution served, how long ReadCube Access has been in use, how many journals from Nature Publishing Group (NPG) were licensed and how many journals were being provided using ReadCube Access. Participating libraries were also asked to provide information about the purchase options offered to end-users, were asked to report on ReadCube Access usage and were requested to compare that usage to interlibrary loan (ILL) requests for NPG journals. Finally, the libraries were asked to share any comments about ReadCube Access they wished, including end user feedback and comments from library staff. Findings – ReadCube Access is shown to be cost-effective and more heavily used than interlibrary loan. End-users are enthused by the instantaneous delivery of articles, and most libraries are generally pleased with the sustainability of this unmediated service. Some end-users are confused and annoyed by the differences in using ReadCube Access compared with the familiar use of subscriptions. A failing of ReadCube Access is that it only offers content from one publisher. Originality/value – This paper fulfils an identified need for an update on ReadCube Access and a study on the experiences of various libraries using it.
