ALCTS web courses beginning in January 2011. Please see 
http://www.ala.org/alcts/events for additional courses available Spring 
2011.



Fundamentals of Acquisitions (January 31 – February 25)



The Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA) web course focuses on the basics 
of acquiring monographs and serials: goals and methods, financial 
management of library collections budgets, and relationships among 
acquisitions librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and 
publishers. In this course, you will receive a broad overview of the 
operations involved in acquiring materials after the selection decision 
is made. Note that in FOA, we distinguish between collection 
development, which involves the selection of materials for the library; 
and acquisitions, which orders, receives, and pays for those materials.



Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (January 31 – February 25)



The Fundamentals of Electronic Resources Acquisitions (FERA) Web course 
will provide an overview of acquiring, providing access to, 
administering, supporting, and monitoring access to electronic 
resources. It will provide a basic background in electronic resource 
acquisitions including product trials, licensing, purchasing methods, 
and pricing models and will provide an overview of the sometimes complex 
relationships between vendors, publishers, platform providers, and 
libraries.



This course is sponsored by Harrassowitz.
