Job Duties Acquisitions: Vendor relations, negotiations, payments Set up trials for databases License agreements Track usage, cost per search, Return on Investment, budget, etc. Oversee online ordering systems, accounting, purchasing Manage print + online journals Approve gifts + donations Submit statistical reports

10. What I learned in library school about acquisitions: Fair Use & Copyright Law was a great class I audited. I didn’t take Collection Development. I lived it. Book buying in an academic bookstore = experience!
