This book, first published in 1991, deals with the demanding
problems of smaller acquisitions budgets. In recent years
librarians have seen their finances diminishing while the prices of
serials and monographs have risen steadily. Now with major
decisions having to be made concerning such things as automation,
monograph collections, and subscription renewals, librarians are
having to assume the role of business manager and dealer. This book
takes an in-depth look at the situation and offers practical
suggestions for working through the lean years. Strategies for
getting the most for your money when dealing with vendors,
selective collection development and maintenance, and making
calculated decisions on how to divide the library's funds are just
a few of the topics covered in this helpful new book.
