Demand-Driven Acquisitions (DDA) Services
YBP offers Demand-Driven Acquisitions services that meet the collection development, acquisition and fiscal needs of your library. Our profiling expertise is combined with the ebook technology of our aggregator partners to present your library and patrons with a significant repository of discoverable content that is more extensive than could be acquired under traditional methods.
DDA Process:
Your library's profile can be used to designate subject areas for inclusion in its demand-driven plan. On a weekly basis, YBP supplies discovery records for digital titles that match your unique profile in order to build a growing "consideration pool" of eligible titles. Patrons can discover the records in the your library's catalog, and the embedded URL directs them to our aggregator partners' portals for free browsing, short-term loans and purchases.

- Manual DDA for additional titles
- Free browse period for digital content
- Short-term loans for digital content
