Library	 acquisitions	 lore	 contains	 a	 cautionary	 tale	 of	 a	 patron	 in	 a	 demand-­‐driven	 environment	 who spent	 a	 huge	 chunk	 of	 the	 library	 budget	 on	 ebooks	 about	 bananas.	 This	 story	 and	 others	 like	 it	 have been	 used	 to	 perpetuate	 the	 argument	 that	 demand-­‐driven	 acquisition	 will	 result	 in	 collections	 that don’t	 appeal	 to	 a	 broad	 audience	 or	 are	 otherwise	 unbalanced.	 We	 apply	 post-­‐acquisition	 usage	 data from	 multiple	 libraries	 to	 test	 the	 hypothesis	 that	 patron-­‐acquired	 versus	 librarian-­‐acquired	 collections have	 different	 usage	 profiles.	 In	 addition,	 we	 analyze	 their	 subject	 profiles	 to	 evaluate	 collection	 breadth and	 balance.	 Our	 results	 will	 help	 libraries	 to	 anticipate	 the	 effect	 of	 adding	 a	 demand-­‐driven component	 to	 their	 ebook	 acquisition	 strategy.
