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.

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.

modules with facilitated interaction led by two instructors. There are
