From: Jonathan Harwell <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2012 19:28:05 +0000 Dear Colleagues, I thought you might be interested in sharing this call for papers with other colleagues via e-mail or Facebook-- or even better, submitting an abstract yourself! I’m guest editing this issue of Against the Grain; details below. Thanks! Jonathan (please pardon any duplication—just trying to spread the word to interested people) Call for Papers: Going out on a limb -- pushing the boundaries of DDA We are inviting you to submit brief abstracts (1-2 paragraphs) prior to July 5, 2012, for a special fall 2012 Charleston Conference issue of Against the Grain on DDA/PDA (demand-driven/patron-driven acquisition/access). Following a year and a half after the last special issue on this topic, it’s time to take a look at where we’ve landed, and what’s down the road. We are interested in a variety of perspectives. Distributors, publishers, vendors, consultants, library patrons, and library workers from all types of libraries are encouraged to send your ideas to [log in to unmask] We’re particularly interested in: * what sorts of models could appear in the next generation (DDA of articles, multimedia, etc., with access beyond library catalogs, e-book platforms, & discovery services) * radically redefining library selection, “collections,” and approval plans with DDA * DDA usage analysis by subject & cost * to weed or not to weed DDA records (triggered or non-triggered) * the current state and the future of short-term loans, manual DDA, and extended access * results of consortial DDA projects * perspectives on, or plans for, DDA from small presses, scholarly presses, journal publishers, database vendors, etc. ************************** Jonathan H.
