The Acquisition of Books and Journals in Austere Times: The Ondo State University Library Experience.

Abstract

The various methods of acquisition are highlighted for a new university library where not only are books and journals expensive, but funds for their purchase are grossly insufficient. Other impediments to acquisition, apart from funds, are also enumerated and cost‐saving devices discussed which are aimed at the most judicious spending of the library′s meagre budget.
