Journal Title: Webology - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Acquisitions librarianship is the key to having a rich collection and being able to serve information needs of the library’s user community best. An acquisitions librarian needs several skills including financial and managerial skills. Jim Agee, a librarian with twelve years of experience, has tried to write an ‘introduction’ to the acquisitions librarianship for the information professionals. ‘Acquisitions Go Global’ is an attempt by the author to share his practical experiences in different aspects of acquisitions librarianship and collection management with librarians and information professionals.
