Description
Summary:Purpose - The purpose of the paper is to share a perspective new to the author, regarding how acquisitions problems in the library grow and present themselves.Design methodology approach - The paper considers possible ways to prevent problems and minimize time spent solving them.Findings - Filing, establishing standard operating procedures, and delegating problems might eliminate or prevent some problems, but unexpected staff shortages and intermittent or unusual problems will continue to occur.Originality value - It is hoped that the realization that not every situation can be anticipated will help faculty and staff be more patient with their colleagues in the library.
