Purchase Information Resources

1. Purchase types

Ilia State University Library coordinates purchasing procedures of information resources (books, magazines and newspapers, electronic databases, etc.) for educational and research purposes by appealing to Ilia State University academic and administrative personnel.

The library administration secures purchase of information resources on the basis of a demand form provided by the administrative personnel and puts them in the physical and/or virtual space.

On the basis of the produced demand the library processes data and prepares the information resource for purchase. Different purchase formats have different dates and procedures;

4. Availability of the purchased resources

The purchased information resources are recorded in the balance sheet of the library and are available at the Ilia State University library and reading halls considering their thematic/content and practical belonging.
