Abstract
Purchasing e-books by collection is not a new acquisition strategy for academic libraries. Title sets and subject subsets are readily available for purchase, and even title-by-title purchasing of e-books has become more prevalent over the last couple years. User-driven e-book purchasing is not entirely new either. Many libraries allow patrons to request titles for purchase, even if it is only by filling out a paper form at the Circulation Desk. However, selecting both print and electronic titles, individually or by a profiling process, in order to offer them for purchase at the point of user need (through the library’s online catalog or a vendor website) is still somewhat novel.
