Patron Divine Acquisitions Financial Impact
Patron Driven Access (PDA) has become simple and time efficient for the librarians to set up in their respective libraries. The most essential element is to build a list of collection that the library will prefer having on its records. The mentioning of collection is decided with respect to name of publisher, title of books, subject area, author, and other narrowing down criteria. Once a library administrator conveys the ‘collection' priorities to the service provider, the list of titles available to the patron is populated by the service provider. Once the reader looks for particular titles, they are taken to the main records being developed according to the given preferences. Once the reader uses the books for reading, only then is the library charged for it.
