Approval plan purchasing is related to library goals of comprehensiveness, pointing out the interrelated pressures of the university system which have contributed to making this method of purchasing possible and the defensive techniques used to justify it. Suggestions are made concerning future possibilities of continuing to build large collections in individual libraries in the context of present expectations which neglect the all important factor of the use of these collections.
