• NEOS libraries have been using Demand-Driven Acquisition (DDA) as part of their collections development strategy for over a decade. DDA has moved well beyond a pilot project to being a mature, stable approach to collecting ebooks. Collections librarians from the University of Alberta and MacEwan University talk about different approaches to DDA in their libraries, highlighting pandemic and budget-driven strategies and changes.
