The Brown Betty cookbook [electronic resource] : modern vintage desserts and stories from Philadelphia’s best bakery / Linda Hinton Brown and Norrinda Brown Hayat ; photography by Alison Conklin. (OCLC #843126922)
Is it good or bad timing that so many cookbooks (including this one) were just removed from our DDA discovery record profile? (How many short term loans might we have had this weekend?)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Noodlers in Missouri [electronic resource] : fishing for identity in a rural subculture / Mary Grigsby. (OCLC #818734144)
Our first demand-driven acquisition (DDA) ebook purchase!
After three short-term loans, the next substantial viewing of this title triggered a purchase for our library. The patron likely had no idea that they just added a book to our collection!
After being notified of the purchase, we cataloged the title with an OCLC record (as we do our other ebooks) and removed the discovery record we had been using.
Classic problems of probability / Prakash Gorroochurn. (OCLC #757478610).
Mr. Sunday’s Saturday night chicken / Lorraine Wallace. (OCLC #774024192)
The first title was already in our collection; the second was in a DDA record pool and detected as a possible duplicate because their records share an ISBN!
The chicken book does have the ISBN in an 020ǂz (Cancelled/Invalid ISBN) but we are checking those as well because they often contain the ISBNs of the title from other ebook publishers or in other formats.
This particular ISBN (9781118063255) is a popular one; OCLC has it in records for eight distinct titles!
