6. PALCI eBook Program EBSCO & ebrary Demand-Driven Acquisitions Programs
Purchases triggered on first “substantial” use
~ 20 libraries participated in each
Own titles collectively, limited user copies per title
600 titles – ebrary; 929 titles – EBSCO
Feedback: Good cost per title; Unpredictable; Program didn’t last long enough!
Next Year: ebrary & EBSCO DDAs will continue
10% increase in library contributions
Modifications to the publisher profiles through YBP:
Review of publishers
Limiting pub dates to more recent years, price capping titles
De-duplication against subscription packages
Exploring the purchase of DDA backlist content on behalf of ALL PALCI members
(i.e., licensing previously purchased DDA content for all 67 PALCI institutions)

7. PALCI eBook Program Books at JSTOR Demand-Driven Acquisitions Program
Purchases triggered when titles reach a negotiated threshold of use
Usage measured collectively AND cumulatively
Challenges in predicting use; thresholds fluctuated
50 libraries, 1 copy purchased per 65% discount
134 perpetual, unlimited user titles purchased; ~20k/40k titles used
Feedback: Well-liked for uninterrupted access to discovery pool, used more like a subscription
Next Year: On hold, A disappointing proposal from JSTOR
40% increase in PALCI expenditure over last year; highest triggering threshold contractually possible (~250 views/150 downloads)
All risk falls on member libraries (turns off when $$ runs out)
Usage does not zero out at the beginning of next year, starting with use on ~30,000 titles
PALCI has proposed different pricing models (EBA, subscription)

8. Free Trials for Fall 2016
PALCI has arranged for free trials to both the ProQuest & EBSCO subscription ebook content, available to students and faculty
An additional trial will be set up to ProQuest Ebook Central’s new platform for library staff ONLY
No cost to members & no cost to PALCI
Contains more than 160k titles on each platform
Trials will be integrated in your regular channels/profiles
Access will end in late December, unless PALCI moves forward w/a subscription
Important to communicate to faculty
Working with vendors now to setup trials very soon
