Abstract

Traditional fiscal policies as applied to acquisitions are increasingly becoming inadequate in view of continuing escalation of numbers and costs of print materials and relative constancy of library budgets. Some book vendors, capitalizing upon this situation, have developed as an innovative means to enable the library to stretch its dollars. This study defines deposit accounts, presents a case study of the use of deposit accounts in one medium-sized academic library, and suggests that deposit accounts contribute significantly to cost effective collection development.
