Challenges of PDA in UCD
• Communication and marketing
• Volume & timing
• Disruption to departmental workflow
• Over 300 print orders not collected
• ‘Flooding’ of the Catalogue
• Poor quality of print MARC records
• Overlap: Multiple editions of the same text
What worked well?
• Subject profiling – Little, if any, inferior
material ordered
• The money got spent very quickly
• Hugely popular with students and staff
• Broad subject appeal

• Technology very robust
Next steps
• We will continue with PDA (E & Print)
• Made slight amendments to subject profiles
• Re-launch PDA in March 2014
• Reduced allocation - €100,000
• Review again at end of project
