Abstract
Health sciences libraries have grown comfortable with licensing Web-based electronic resources such as e-journals and texts in recent years. Libraries attempting to license PDA resources will find some similarities, but many new pitfalls await them. Major issues include difficulties in evaluating products, multiple versions of products, vendors' lack of familiarity with institutional markets, and access and pricing models. The library collection development policy statement (CDPS) is seen as one way for a library to develop an approach to offering PDA products, but for the present, libraries may be restricted by the actual cost to provide the content. doi:10.1300/J383v04n01_16
