Abstract
Facing a 72% cut in our monographic acquisitions budget in FY13-14, UT Arlington Libraries turned a crisis into an opportunity. We examined print monographs' circulation data and discovered the hard truth that the "just-in-case" acquisition model is neither sustainable nor serving our users well. Subsequently, our approval plan was put on a virtual mode: no more approval book shipments. We implemented demand-driven acquisition (DDA) programs for both electronic and print books and put broader patron-driven acquisition (PDA) programs in place to meet our users' needs.
