“…Although there has been some slight evidence that topically inappropriate books and not collected material types have been purchased via POD, (Chan, 2004;Gee & Shirkey, 2010;Hussong-Christian & Goergen-Doll, 2010a;Stowell Bracke, 2010), in the main, librarians reviewing the requested and/or purchased POD items have found them to be worthy of purchase (Allen, Ward, Wray, & DebusLópez, 2003;Anderson et al, 2002;Anderson et al, 2010;Cornell University Library, 2007;Gee & Shirkey, 2010;Ruppel, 2006;Stowell Bracke, 2010;Ward et al, 2003;Zopfi-Jordan, 2008). Librarians reviewing POD acquisitions at a greater remove have found that POD books were purchased primarily for collection-appropriate subject classifications (Chan, 2004), for subject classifications that experienced locally higher-than-average levels of use (Tyler et al, 2010), or had also been purchased by peer institutions (Way, 2009). Not surprisingly, most patrons reviewing their selections after receipt have found the POD books to be useful and/or worthwhile additions to their libraries' collections (Foss, 2007;Hussong-Christian & Goergen-Doll, 2010a, 2010bWard, 2002;).…”
