Patron-Driven Acquisitions by David A Swords
About 40 percent of the books academic libraries purchase in traditional ways never circulate and another 40 percent circulate fewer than three times. By contrast, patron-driven acquisition allows a library to borrow or buy books only when a patron needs them. This volume describes the genesis and brief history of patron-driven acquisitions.-

"Overall, Patron-driven Acquisitions can be confidently recommended to all academic libraries? both those currently planning to move in a patron-driven direction, and those unsure of whether such an approach makes sense or perhaps even of what all the fuss is aboutIts authors effectively cover all of the most pressing and relevant questions about PDA theory and practice, and offer highly useful tools to readers interesting in assessing the practice's viability and likely consequences."Rick Anderson in: Library Review 6/2012
