Every collection development and acquisitions professional suffers through the many challenges of the acquisitions process -- millions of titles and thousands of publishers to choose from -- with no one, centralized source of recommendations and order fulfillment.
Today's collection development librarians must sort through sticky notes, request forms, marked-up pages from trade journals and catalogues, and more to determine what materials to purchase -- a time consuming and potentially unproductive process.
