| Abstract: | Purpose – This article seeks to highlight patron-driven acquisitions (PDA) of e-books. Design/methodology/approach – The article discusses an important new book devoted to PDA. It also describes a PDA pilot in the author's library consortium, and discusses some of the early findings. Findings – The article suggests that PDA has numerous benefits, but challenges longstanding practices and beliefs about traditional collection building. It also assumes that e-book access will become increasingly accepted by users. Originality/value – The article provides theories about the effects of sustained PDA programs. |
