Acquisitions forms a vital link in the cycle of publishing, selection, request and provision of materials for use in libraries. The imperatives for acquisitions staff are to acquire material as quickly and as economically as possible, while offering an efficient and responsive service. Keeping abreast of current developments within their own workplace is vital for staff, but they must also keep up-to-date with the outside world of publishers and suppliers - and a good deal is always happening. This second edition of the former "Buying Books for Libraries" provides guidance on procedures and practice in acquisitions. The text approaches the acquisitions process logically, from requests through to the checking, ordering and receipt of library materials. It aims to explain the role of acquisitions in its context, and to improve service in terms of speed, cost, efficiency and financial competence. This updated second edition includes major revisions to take account of developments in the automation of acquisitions, the use of the Internet and online purchasing. It also includes guidance on acquiring non-book materials, such as those in electronic format, government information, music and audio-visual materials. Containing checklists and real-life examples from actual library order systems, publishers and suppliers, it places the subject firmly in its practical context, while also considering important future developments in acquisitions. Library and information professionals new to the acquisitions function, LIS students, and assistants in acquisitions and technical services throughout all sectors should find this a useful guide to all aspects of the acquisitions process. It should also be of interest to those wishing to improve or revise their acquisitions practice.
