Buy, Don’t Borrow: Patron-Driven Acquisition in Xiamen University Libraries

Abstract

Abstract:

From the statistical analysis of titles, acquisition process, patron status and circulation, the results of patron-driven acquisition in Xiamen University Libraries are in line with libraries of foreign countries in many aspects, yet with their own characteristics in terms of acquisition criteria and process.Suggestions are given on implementation of patron-drive acquisition in China based on the practices in libraries of foreign countries and the operation in Xiamen University Libraries.

Key words: Interlibrary loan, Patron-driven acquisition, Collection development, Xiamen University Libraries
