| Abstract: | This paper outlines some of the technological and other changes affecting library/vendor relations. It explores in particular one possible result of these changes, contract acquisitions, i.e., libraries contracting with private sector vendors to provide traditional acquisitions services. This article enumerates some of the issues to be considered and urges libraries and vendors to collaborate more closely than ever before. |
