Abstract
This article presents the second part of an investigative work dedicated to study collection management in Spanish university libraries through an analysis of the plans and regulations elaborated by these libraries. The first part was entitled: Collection management in Spanish university libraries. Plans and regulations (I): selection. In the present work thirty texts are studied which regulate the acquisition of information resources at Spanish university libraries. These documents describe acquisitions as part of collection management and special attention is focused on their structure and contents, as well as on their concept and objectives. Secondly the study delves into the acquisitions procedure. It appears differentiated from selection, but at the same time, related to it. It is structured and standardized, and includes donations. Although principally linked to print publications, the results nonetheless are presented within the context of a hybrid library.

Summary
Este artículo recoge la segunda parte del trabajo de investigación dedicado al estudio de la gestión de la colección en las bibliotecas universitarias españolas a partir del análisis de los planes y normativas elaborados por estas bibliotecas (HerreraMorillas 2013). Es el caso de la completa publicación de Osburn (1992), que dentro de un contexto amplio aborda el presupuesto de adquisiciones y su relación con la evaluación de colección; de los trabajos de Calenge (1994, 1999) que, tras una serie de experiencias y encuestas, apoya la necesidad de una política de gestión formalizada y la conveniencia de identificar etapas funcionales en la política de adquisiciones; también subraya que se debe distinguir el momento de la selección de las decisiones sobre la adquisición y analiza las implicaciones de esta concepción dentro de los procesos de constitución de la colección; o del texto de Wilkinson y Thorson (1998) dedicado a la aplicación del proceso RFP como estrategia eficaz para la gestión de las adquisiciones. La adquisición de materiales impresos se ha analizado en trabajos de carácter más localista, como el de Paulos y Holley (2006), que aborda la relación entre los programas de estudios africanos y la adquisición de impresos africanos en cuatro bibliotecas académicas americanas o el de Dali y Dilevko (2005), centrado en la adquisición de libros en países eslavos de la Europa del Este, en relación con bibliotecas norteamericanas
