Readex Other categories of materials whcih we order directly from publishers include computer software and non-mainstream videos. These materials often require lease agreement contracts with the publisher which must go through the General Counsel's office. All ordering is done in Acquisitions. Acquisitions unpacks the approval books, displays them for book selectors to review, officially receives the titles to be kept, and returns those titles not selected for retention. Books are displayed for one week.
Book selectors initial slips and indicate funds for the books they desire to add to the collection.
Books which have not been reviewed are returned, along with books which are formally rejected by a selector. Copies of the most recent approval profiles are kept in the Acquisitions Section. Blackwell can make profile changes for us at any time. W.S.U. book selectors recommend profile changes in consultation with their department head to the head of collection development. Once approved, the desired profile changes are sent to the head of Acquisitions who forwards them to our Blackwell representatives.
