Library Collections, Acquisition and Technical Services

Library Collections, Acquisitions, and Technical Services provides a forum for the international exchange of ideas and experiences among members of the library collection management, technical services, vendor and publishing communities throughout the world. It is a comprehensive publication designed to bring together many of the specializations within the broad areas of library collection management and technical services including, but by no means limited to, acquisition of materials in academic, public, school and special libraries; cataloging and authority control; outsourcing of technical services operations; electronic publications; gifts and exchanges. In reflecting the broad, practical and theoretical foundations of the discipline, LCATS publishes articles based on the practical work experiences of librarians, vendors and publishers as well as research reports and papers on theory.
