course, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the
selection of materials for the library; and acquisitions, which orders,
receives, and pays for those materials. In many libraries, selecting and
acquiring materials may be done in the same department—in the smallest
libraries perhaps even by the same person. In larger libraries, selection may
be done by a collection development department and/or designated subject
specialists, while a separate department acquires the selected materials. In
essence, acquisitions is the business operation, bringing materials into the
library and licensing access to library collections and resources.</span></p><p style="margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Because
