DDA "Data Driven Acquisition" - Also referred to as PDA (Patron Driven Acquisitions). Titles are generally triggered for purchase in a dda plan. We currently have a DDA program through JSTOR for ebooks. We also have a mediated dda (email requests) through Kanopy for streaming video.
EBA "Evidence-Based Acquisitions" - Titles are chosen to keep with perpetual access from a pool of titles at the end of the contract (Usually May or June). We have several Ebook EBAs currently. See the files in the Collection Development Assembly (CDA) Team for more details.
DRM-free - DRM is a set of techniques that restricts the access, copying, and sharing of copyrighted digital media files. For instance, DRM typically limits how much an e-book reader can print and how long they can check it out. DRM-free content allows users to freely use and transfer the content without any limitations. Buying directly with the ebook publisher usually provides a DRM-free experience.
