Mission Statement & Strategy

The primary mission of the Acquisitions Department is to acquire materials in a variety of formats that support the academic and professional programs of the University of Florida. The department consists of three Units: Print & Media, Accounting & Paying, and Electronic Resources, and two programs - Gifts & Exchanges. Each area is staffed and dedicated to a specific set of responsibilities although workflow, projects, and initiatives criss-cross units, programs, and other departments in the libraries.

Acquisitions works with library Subject Specialists/Selectors and partners from the state's largest library consortium (CSUL) to develop collection management priorities and strategies. Acquisitions staff establsh license agreements; acquire and maintain access to online resources; monitor monograph approval/slip plans and Patron-Driven Acquisitions initatives; oversee print serials and standing orders; coordinate a 12 mil. materials budget that includes paying invoices and tracking hundreds of funds in Aleph; and compile usage statistics.

The Smathers Central Libraries and the Health Science Center Libraries often share in the selection and purchase of online resources and print materials, thus staff in Acquisitions and HSCL work together to coordinate workflow, budgets, and responsibilities.
