Abstract
The Binghamton University Libraries’ acquisitions department is responsible for keeping track of any purchase requests from subject librarians or the Head of Collections. Because of the high volume requests and the complex nature of electronic resources such as databases, e-book packages, and e-journals, a tracking method was needed to track the progress within the acquisitions workflow. This article will discuss the history of tracking such requests within the Binghamton University Libraries, what the acquisitions department is currently doing, and future considerations.
