Effects of budget adversity on acquisitions procedures in research libraries were studied through visits to ten ARL libraries~ interviews with more than 100 individuals~ a literature search~ and consultation of current ARL library annual reports. The findings are reported in three sections: (1) organization and procedures; (2) budget considerations; and (3) selection. The most positive result noted is the speed with which libraries are developing cooperative acquisitions programs.
