Updated and enhanced, the second edition of this text provides both library students and practitioners with a thorough understanding of procedural and philosophical approaches in acquisitions management.Since the last edition of this text was published over a decade ago, library acquisitions practices have changed dramatically in response to economic and industry changes and the introduction and maturation of new technologies. An essential tool kit, this updated edition covers every aspect of current acquisitions management from organization of acquisitions departments to professional ethics.The step-by-step guide takes you through acquisitions department activities from the beginning of the ordering process through making materials available to the public. You'll learn about the latest acquisitions systems, negotiating bids and RFPs, gifts and exchange, and decisions of permanence. In addition, the book provides expert guidance on relationships with vendors as well as on the publishing industry in general. Key among the updates to this second edition is information about major changes that have occurred recently, including what's new in integrated library systems, electronic resource management, and patron- and demand-driven acquisitions. An appendix offers a wealth of resources on topics related to acquisitions and includes a comprehensive glossary.

Recenzii

This book can stand alone as a complete guide to library acquisitions management or each chapter can stand alone addressing a specific topic. As such, this book is recommended for students in LIS masters programs, as well as current and future acquisitions librarians looking to develop or enhance skills in acquisitions management.
Authors Wilkinson, Lewis, and Lubas do an excellent job of thoroughly modernizing their explanations of 'both the procedural and practical aspects of all areas of acquisition' for 21st-century libraries. . . . At first glance, this book looks like an excellent library science textbook for use in classes teaching current acquisitions management, which it definitely is. . . . These . . . pages are filled with valuable information resources for students and current librarians interested in library acquisitions, electronic resource management, as well as those interested in staying ahead of the curve in this area of librarianship.
