Author and leading authority known for teaching the popular courses "Fundamentals of Acquisitions" and "Fundamentals of Electronic Resource Acquisitions" offered by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), Jesse Holden presents a much-needed guide to twenty-first century acquisitions work: a critical --- though often overlooked --- role in librarianship. Featured Review "...provides rich and, what matters most, essential information...the book would be an asset both to the teachers and students of library science (maybe even bring back acquisitions to the mainstream in educational librarianship programmes), as well as to the practicing librarians who will be definitely learning new things or see their own ideas expressed in a most intelligent way." (Read the full review.) Information Research, August 2010 Read More.... Holden's comprehensive approach addresses both fundamental concepts and their translation into practice. He thoroughly explains how the changing dynamics of content formats, information consumption, access, service, and technology have wholly and forever altered the acquisitions framework. Readers will find strategies and approaches for dealing with an abundance of common, day-to-day problems, such as leveraging technology in content management and dealing with the proliferation of available formats. A concluding section expands on the field's emerging user- and content-focus. Acquisitions in the New Information Universe provides invaluable insights and guidance for experienced professionals who need to adapt their practices for a changed world and for LIS students.
