The Online Learning Institute’s Purchase on Demand Course will engage students in basic principles of a monograph-focused purchase on demand program in order to be informed of a variety of models currently in place at academic libraries of various sizes. This course will emphasize programs through which new monographs (print and e-books) and other physical materials are added to library collections, and article purchasing will be briefly discussed. Students will create a workflow that incorporates a new purchase on demand program into current procedures, and facilitators will briefly discuss how a program can bolster additional library services, such as information literacy. Successful completion of this course includes weekly attendance at 3 out of 4 live sessions.
