Customer comments on this selection.
 Practical and insightful.
This acquisitions text contains sound procedural information and practical advice. It provides essential tips for both the beginner and more seasoned professional alike. The chapters on vendor selection and professional ethics are especially worthwhile. The appendix is a great starting point for students and new librarians to identify library conferences, organizations, discussion lists, and internet sites. Highly recommended!
 good overview
For librarians looking for a good general overview of library acquisitions, I recommend this book. The authors have produced a book that can be useful for new acq folks and library generalists who are looking to gain a better understanding of acquisitions.
well organized and thoughtful
Wilkinson and Lewis present new and useful analysis of the organization of acquisitions and the systems these departments use as well as ways to evaluate vendors and library materials. They cover all aspects of acquisitions accurately and completely. Very timely for all libraries.
 boring and obvious
I used this book in a Government Acquisitions class. The book was completely irrelevant to the class.
Furthermore, even for a librarian, it seems like the information would be completely obvious and superfluous. Information such as that on Associations (like the American Library Association ALA) would be better found through Google, which is what the authors may have done. In a book form, however, those Google links quickly become out-of-date and unusable.
