Books on Demand & Course Reserves PDAs Take-Aways: Materials received from both programs are reviewed periodically/annually by staff in Acquisitions, ILL/CR, Selectors, and the Assoc.

UF-FSU Shared E-Books PDA: Tech Specs MyiLibrary matches e-book records to profile and dedupes them based on UF/FSU holdings Once a month FLVC simultaneously loads full e-book records into both libraries catalogs Users seamlessly view and access e-books; three uses of an e-book by any combo of UF-FSU patrons triggers a purchase E-Book titles included in the PDA are identified in OASIS and any firm orders are blocked Acquisitions works with Ingram Reps and Selectors to implement changes to Approval/Slip plans and ordering procedures to accommodate the PDA After purchases Ingram resends bibliographic records to FLVC that update holdings in both library catalogs Each month Ingram deducts purchased titles from deposit account and sends statement/statistics
