Acquisitions

This page contains documents related to acquisitions of scholarly resources.

The Acquisitions (ACQ) Department resides in the Collection Services Division (CSD) of the UCB Library. The primary function of ACQ is to order, receive, and invoice scholarly resources regardless of myriad formats acquired by the library. 

Documentation on this site will continue to change as we gain experience in Alma and UC Library Search, and as new features, processes, and policies are introduced. If you notice anything that needs to be updated or fixed, please let us know using the feedback form.
