Patron-Driven Acquisitions: History and Best Practices - Current Topics in Library and Information Practice
David A. Swords
About 40 percent of the books academic libraries purchase in traditional ways never circulate and another 40 percent circulate fewer than three times. By contrast, patron-driven acquisition allows a library to borrow or buy books only when a patron needs them. This volume describes the genesis and brief history of patron-driven acquisitions.
