I am an international graduate student in Library and Information Science. 
In my home country (Belarus) it is usually one department that deals with 
acquisitions and collection development. As I understood, in American 
libraries these activities are distributed among different departments. I 
will appreciate if I can get a clear explanation (and examples of your 
libraries) of how they cooperate and how their work is coordinated.
One more question. Is Approval Plan the most popular method of acquisition?


Thank you so much.
