Because there is little formal training in the graduate literary school program, acquisitions librarians learn the necessary skills through observation, trial and error. Based on her own experience, the author provides a description and overview of the budget process and the various phases of it for which an acquisitions librarian may be responsible: budget development, committing the budget, and budget analyses and reports. She points out the typical difficulties which acquisitions librarians encounter in the budget management process, and suggests methods and strategies for coping with them. She concludes that it is a rewarding experience, despite the frustrations.","PeriodicalId":253830,"journal":{"name":"The Acquisitions Budget","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116367037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result their purchasing power has declined. Because the rates of price increase vary by subject and type of publication, acquisitions budgets are being distorted. Strategies for containing the worst of these side-effects are discussed. The most important of these is the establishment of a meaningful dialogue with administrators and faculty to determine priorities and directions to go. Cancellations of serials are not the only answer, though a necessary first step is the re-evaluation of all subscriptions. The longer-term implications of new technologies are examined and a new approach to budgeting is recommended.","PeriodicalId":253830,"journal":{"name":"The Acquisitions Budget","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129099719","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It often requires careful diplomacy by acquisitions librarians to balance sharp faculty interests, but their needs and demands can and should be used to develop and enrich library collections. This process is traditional in academic libraries, and it should not be regarded as unusual. Rapidly escalating costs for serial subscription over the past five years have consumed larger and larger portions of most academic libraries acquisitions budgets. As a consequence, librarians have less funds available to balance collections. Can the library profession utilize modern technology to reduce, if not eliminate, the problem of high costs for serials? A partial solution to the serials problem is suggested.","PeriodicalId":253830,"journal":{"name":"The Acquisitions Budget","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1989-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129713123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The book budget is not sub-allocated by discipline, which allows a great deal of flexibility. The recent budget crunch felt by ASU, along with other North American libraries, resulted in a review of currently-received periodicals in order to target titles for possible cancellation. One of the consequences of the tighter budget n the increasing popularity of investigating the sub-allocation of book funds.

Two goals for expending the budget are: (1) spending the budget effectively; and (2) spending the money in a timely fashion. Both collection development and acquisitions personnel are responsible for helping to meet these goals.
