The Acquisitions Department purchases and acquires materials for the Libraries' collections that bibliographers have selected to support the Libraries' mission and campus academic programs. Besides books, we order and process invoices for audiovisual materials, microforms, periodicals, government documents and electronic journals and collections. We acquire materials from all over the world in a variety of languages from a variety of publishers and vendors. We also receive gift collections donated to the Libraries. Acquisitions selects a vendor for the order, orders the material, receives it and pays for it, then sends it on to the Cataloging Department.
