Abstract Although it is impossible for one guide to provide a comprehensive overview of all e-book management issues that libraries face, Arndt answers the questions that arose when her library system began investigating demand-driven acquisitions for e-books in 2012. In doing so, Arndt provides a list of many of the questions that a library should ask of itself, its vendors, and its users. As such, this is a practical starting point for any library looking at DDA.
