Hi Liz,   

  

Thanks for your question. I am not sure what was done previous to 
self-administration in terms of hold ratios - would someone who was a 
selector for MyMediaMall be able to speak to that?  

  

I agree that I wish the consortium hold ratios could be lower. The ratios 
were established by looking at the monthly budgeted amount available, and 
trying to both meet demand and allow enough remaining funds for some 
repurchasing of expired content. One thing to keep in mind is that only 
consortium copies are counted when calculating those hold ratios. For most 
popular titles, there will also be additional Advantage copies that help 
satisfy demand for the owning libraries' patrons, which in turn lowers the 
overall wait times for the titles as well.  

  

I hope that helps clarify a bit, if you have other questions please don't 
hesitate to ask.  

  

Maggie

Hi Maggie, 

The  max hold ratios seem a little high.  have they always been at this 
level?

Happy Friday everyone! 

  

I am attaching the working DLIL selector guidelines that consortium 
selectors use to guide purchasing decisions. These guidelines were 
implemented in December of 2019.    

  

If you have any questions about this, please let us know. Our goal is to 
continue to update and refine the guidelines on an ongoing basis based on 
needs and trends.
