The Acquisitions department purchases and receives materials in all formats for Mason Library, including books, periodicals, serials, videos, CDs, gifts, and all online services. The Acquisitions department tracks vendor performance and also collects and maintains statistics about materials acquired by the library. Approximately 6000 firm orders are processed annually in addition to more than 300 standing orders and 1000 subscriptions. The Acquisitions department manages Yankee Book Peddler's Library Services, an approval plan based on a profile that Mason Library maintains representing all of Keene State College's academic areas.
