"Data-Driven Acquisition." 

DDA programs give library users access to a broad selection of eBooks, with purchases triggered only after a title is used. This model ensures the library purchases resources that reflect actual demand.

The Libraries currently have a DDA program with JSTOR.

If you see a DDA book in the catalog that you would like to use for a class, please contact Course Reserves so that we can obtain a permanent copy for the collection through the link below.
