DDA and STEM @ UNT: What we have learned
Date: July 2012
Creator: Harker, Karen
Description: This presentation discusses Demand-Driven Acquisitions (DDA) and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) at the University of North Texas (UNT). For the Texas STEM Librarians' Conference, the author will present data and information about the pilot program, and how the Discovery Collection and the purchased titles are distributed, particularly regarding the science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. Of particular interest is a scenario analysis of the selections to determine which purchase model would have been most effective for the money spent. This has already impacted decisions being made to expand the program in the next fiscal year.

After a brief description of each project, a critique is provided covering the four aspects of: motives, preservation, interactivity and barriers. While all three digital archives place a focus on personal narratives and deal with the complexities of conflict intimately, none of the projects ...
