Fundamentals of Acquisitions
The Fundamentals of Acquisitions (FOA) web course focuses on the basics of
acquiring monographs and serials: goals and methods, financial management
of library collections budgets, and relationships among acquisitions
librarians, library booksellers, subscription agents, and publishers. In
this course, you will receive a broad overview of the operations involved
in acquiring materials after the selection decision is made. Note that in
FOA, we distinguish between collection development, which involves the
