Two qualified responses were received
Two vendors made presentations

proposals
10. Duplication control
Not duplicating PDA content with local
approval profiles
Managed through PDA publisher list
Still sending slips for print content
Selectors can firm order print content from
PDA publishers
PDA titles easily identifiable in Oasis
12. Publisher Negotiations
Start early!
Negotiations are ongoing
Currently working with 42 publishers with
room for additions
Not all publishers participate in PDA,
consortia or otherwise
Start early!
13. Lessons Learned
Start contacting publishers early in the process.
Be prepared to re-re-re-negotiate.
There is no one-size-fits-all model for consortial
PDA.
Try to establish main points of contact early in the
process, both on the vendor side and the
consortium side.
Consortia and vendors need to account for
specialized reports
