- Title
Patron-Driven Acquisition - Working Collaboratively in a Consortial Environment: An Interview with Greg Doyle.
- Authors
Doyle, Greg; Tucker, Cory
- Abstract
Patron-driven acquisition models for electronic and print books have become extremely popular in the past two years and in most cases this service has been implemented at many individual libraries. One unique collaborative model of patron-driven acquisition was created by the Orbis Cascade Alliance through a partnership with Ebook Library (EBL) and Yankee Book Peddler (YBP). This unique project is an example of libraries, consortia, and vendors working together to develop new business models during times of financial constraint, where libraries and consortia are exploring various "just-in-time" acquisition models. Collaborative Librarianship spoke with Greg Doyle about the project at Orbis Cascade.
