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

introductory in nature. Class segments are geared to cover issues of
interest to staff in all types of libraries.
