More VIVA ebook news
Not everyone subscribes to the VIVA listserve, so I’ll share some information that was posted by Kathy Perry yesterday. The DDA RFP committee has completed negotiations with EBL to provide Demand Driven Acquisitions for ebooks in Science, Technology, Engineering, Medicine, & Health (STEM-H). EBL is currently negotiating with publishers to participate in the program. The VIVA plan will take precedence over our own DDA plan. It will include short term loans, just as our plan does. E-reserves and coursepacks will be available upon special request. The addition of VIVA’s plan should only affect Collections and Technical Services: we’ll work with YBP to eliminate EBL STEM-H DDA selections from our consideration pool, and load discovery records for the new EBL collections to Summon. Ladd and Ed will attend the VIVA ‘training fair” in March, so more information about ebooks will be forthcoming.
