Where do we go from here?
• We could read the results as evidence that the
aggregated subscription packages would be
the best choice for us
• We can also see some leading publishers
emerge in particular subjects; this could guide
our publisher approach in purchasing e-books
and seeking Demand Driven Acquisitions

• Identify scarcely-held titles in need of protection
• Begin a discussion about the possibility of reducing
unnecessary duplication and saving local space through
strategic weeding
• Provide remediated and enhanced records back to the
participating schools
