ABSTRACT

This paper strives to examine the acquisition process in public libraries. It specifically attempts to survey the budget allocation, duties and organizational structures of acquisition departments in public libraries, and the overall process of book selection and acquisition. Data was drawn from a survey of 545 public libraries in the country. Specific statistics were gathered through literature and interviews to be analyzed, even though they were not very detailed in nature. In looking at the actual acquisition process, a thorough comparison on the backgrounds, outlines and characteristics of current projects and an analysis on the specifics of each project was also conducted.
