Dda: Are We Meeting Collection Goals Or Vendor Sales Targets?, Debbi A. Smith

Charleston Library Conference

Adelphi University Libraries started an e-book demand-driven acquisitions (DDA) program with Ebrary in January 2014. After one short-term loan a second use triggered a purchase.

Journal of East Asian Libraries

This study investigates the effectiveness of a library-cataloging model developed by the author, namely, the shifted-authority control (SAC) model, for retrievals with fewer omissions in the field of Chinese classics.

To determine whether the SAC model can address this problem, a prototype authority database for searching the titles of Chinese classics was constructed. Then, three bibliographic databases were searched using work/item titles from the prototype database; this facilitated comparisons of the recall performance and the precision of the following three …
