需求驱动采购电子书的实践与思考——以香港中文大学图书馆为例

Demand Driven Acquisitions for Electronic Books——A Case Study at the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library

以有限经费购买电子书,并同时兼具成本效益及实时地满足读者需求是数字时代高校图书馆的挑战之一。文章以香港中文大学图书馆英文电子书采购为例,从流程、使用率、每次使用费和价格等各方面分析和比较两项需求驱动采购模式的试验结果。

With limited library materials budgets to acquire electronic books,academic libraries have to overcome challenges to meet both the immediate needs of users in the digital age and achieve cost-effectiveness. This paper discusses two Demand Driven Acquisitions （DDA） pilot studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong Libraries, explains the workflow of Evidence-based Selection and Patron Driven Acquisitions, and analyses the DDA results from various aspects such as overall usage, cost per use as well as the sustainability.
