The acquisitions literature published in 2012–13 shows a strong focus on nontraditional purchasing models, especially for electronic books (e-books).

This review will cover these trends along with developments in Electronic Resources Management Systems (ERMSs), workflow efficiencies, and negotiation and licensing techniques.

What is really needed is empirical studies of those who have withdrawn from Big Deals together with how different OA strategies, particularly Green OA, can combat the monopolistic pricing practices of the big commercials publishers (Boissy et al, 2012).…”

Design/methodology/approach -The paper is based on the reading of over 150 journals, as well as monographs, reports and web sites.

More papers from the 12th ILDS conference are reviewed. Originality/value -The paper represents a useful source for librarians and others concerned with interlending and document supply as well as such related matters as resource sharing and open access.
