Subject: Online Acquisitions Course
The Association for Library Collections & Technical Services invites you
to participate in Fundamentals of Acquisitions, a four-week web-based
course beginning on August 5.
Fundamentals of Acquisitions focuses on what you need to know about the
basics of acquiring monographs and serials: goals and methods; financial
management of materials budgets; and relationships among acquisitions
librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers.
Participants will attain a broad overview of the operations involved in
acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. The five
basic components of this course are goals of acquisitions services;
methods and basic functions of acquisitions; vendors; ethics; and
budget/finance and accounting.
This web-based course is tailored for librarians and paraprofessionals
new to the acquisitions field. As it is a fundamentals course, topics
are introductory in nature. Class segments are geared to cover issues of
interest to staff in all types of libraries.
Trisha L. Davis, Associate Professor and Head of Serials/Electronic
Resources Department at Ohio State University, and Julia Gammon,
Associate Professor and Head of Acquisitions Department at the
University of Akron, will serve as the instructors for this four-week
session. Trisha Davis and Carol Diedrichs, also of the Ohio State
University Libraries have been involved with this course since its
inception; it has been taught in person, via teleconference, and is now
available as a web-based course.
The course is sponsored by the Association for Library Collections and
Technical Services. The course is hosted by Ohio State University using
WebCT course management software.
The registration deadline is July 26.
