19. Acquisitions and Cataloging Workflows
• Ordering, invoicing and receiving
• Cataloging – record sets vs. individual items
• Communication and notifications
• De-duplication strategies – Project Muse, and
other packages
20. E-book Strategies at CTU
• Cost per item strongly considered over cost
per use for e-book packages
• DDA program is key to our collection
development plan for e-resources, but not
print at this time
• Will purchase e-books on title by title basis;
current courses online plus DDA subject usage
will be strong considerations

Initial inquiry with YBP in July 2011 – first set of discovery records loaded into catalog in December 2011. First usage of DDA books in January 2012. Initial record load included ATLA indexed books - https://www.atla.com/products/titles/Pages/default.aspx. Continuum/T&T Clark had a specific collection of Biblical Studies and Theology ebook list available in Fall 2011 that was also in the initial pool – the books still available, but not the list. Suppliers selected on basis of interface, pricing and licensing a secondary consideration. Existing print approval profile formed the basis of ebook DDA profile. Technical aspects included ability to customize with proxy information, though this could also be done at the local level, as well as suppress these records from shared catalog. EBL and Ebrary profiles were basically what were needed for purchasing, plus the reporting features for DDA from each supplier. Cost control on discovery records and workflow, not on book price $200 cap, and one short term loan before purchase.
Most of our discovery records are from EBL – less that 200 records total from Ebrary. Ebrary was added to our program in November 2012.Sample books – Handbook of New Testament Exegesis, Ebsco; Jesus and his parables, EBL; Lay ecclesial ministry, Ebrary
E-resources in the catalog are selective – these are “curated” compared to subscription packages and link resolver service.
This usage is for EBL, which was our first DDA supplier, and still provides the majority of records. Only one STL fromEbrary, and no purchases.
Print circulation pretty consistent over the years. The lower usage of DDA books could be accounted for by the narrower subject and publisher selection offered by the ebook providers.
What is the typical DDA ebook that is used like, in terms of subject, publisher, etc?
In our general circulating collection, the largest subject area is BX (31%), followed by BS(11%), BR(9%), BV(9%), then BT(6%).
Commercial and university presses dominate, while independent and denominational are barely, or not represented.

Most of workflow is by email, manual ftp, and automated batchloads. Basic cataloging philosophy – it just has to be not wrong;-) Just starting to use MARCEdit. De-duplication is a struggle; trying to address with bulk import rules, but this can’t address the “which record was there first” problem.
CTU’s collection development policy - http://www.ctu.edu/library/collection-development-policyMicroworkshops to promote with faculty – faculty are thrilled with JSTOR and Project Muse. Faculty use the ebooks from DDA without even realizing it. Tutorials on website to help students get started; but we have information overload problem. CTU is on ATS list for online courses.
