Book Review: The Complete Guide to Acquisitions Management. 2nd ed.

Abstract

The second edition of The Complete Guide to Acquisitions Management is an update to the first edition, which was published in 2003. Since then, the market in which an acquisition librarian operates has seen many changes. New technological developments affecting business models, products, and services have had an impact in the management and operation of today’s library acquisitions department. The same holds true today as it did in 2003: “Acquisitions librarians must continue to learn and remain flexible in order to meet the needs of their libraries and customers” (xiv).
