Abstract
This study assesses the content and usage of juvenile materials acquired via three acquisition methods by a research-intensive university library. The primary method of acquiring juvenile materials is an awards-based approval plan. Subject librarian selections and purchase suggestions from faculty, staff, and students are also used to acquire juvenile materials. Using acquisition reports, catalog records, and circulation data from four fiscal years (2017-2020), we examined how these three acquisition methods compared to each other in terms of title characteristics and patron usage. We found all three acquisition methods are needed to develop a collection that meets the needs of our users.

研究型大学少年文学馆藏获取方法的评估
摘要
本研究评估了研究密集型大学图书馆通过三种获取方法获取的少年材料的内容和使用情况。获取少年材料的主要方法是基于奖励的批准计划。学科馆员的选择和教职员工和学生的购买建议也用于获取青少年资料。我们使用四个财政年度(2017-2020)的收购报告、目录记录和流通数据,研究了这三种收购方法在标题特征和顾客使用方面的相互比较。我们发现需要所有三种获取方法来开发满足用户需求的集合。
