The document discusses the process for selecting and acquiring materials at the Information Services department. Selectors are assigned areas of responsibility based on language, geography, or subject. Materials are selected using a variety of tools, and some purchases are customized based on subject profiles. The department uses standing orders, firm orders, exchanges, and special acquisition units to obtain materials. Difficult to find materials include US government publications, United Nations documents, foreign language journals, and references from the internet.
