VIVA DDA pilot ending

by edlener, posted on July 25, 2014

In early 2013 VIVA launched a pilot program for Demand Driven Acquisitions of books in STEM-H disciplines.  No new funding was provided in the state budget so the VIVA Collections Committee recommended the program be discontinued.  Records for these items have now been removed from Summon. We have title-level usage data for the program and this has been shared with subject liaisons in the affected areas to help identify titles of potential value to our users.   We are also working to implement a new DDA program locally for these call number ranges.
