Transforming Acquisitions and Collection Services: Perspectives on Collaboration Within and Across Libraries (Perspectives on Collaboration Within and Across Libraries)

소개

This book explores ways in which libraries can reach new levels of service, quality, and efficiency while minimizing cost by collaborating in acquisitions. In consortial acquisitions, a number of libraries work together, usually in an existing library consortia, to leverage size to support acquisitions in each individual library. In cross-functional acquisitions, acquisitions collaborates to support other library functions.
