Description
Learn how to maintain a quality collection within a budget and still manage to make necessary cuts and savings. As the purchasing power of the materials budget declines, effectively managing the allocation of the materials budget and the development of the collections becomes more and more of a challenge. In The Acquisitions Budget, practicing acquisitions librarians--representing almost all types and sizes of libraries--address their daily problems and share innovative and effective methods for dealing with a shrinking budget. These authoritative contributors, who have many years of practical problems solving experience, also offer useful tips on how to influence administrators, faculty, students--anyone who has even partial control over allocating the budget. With this valuable new book, you will also enhance your knowledge of how the latest technology saves time and expenses in working out the acquisitions budget from day to day. Specific information is given on online and CD-ROM weapons in the war with the budget process.
