| Abstract: | This article details the way that a small academic library transformed its collection-building processes and took a fresh look at the objectives of cataloging along the way. The St. Edward's University Library accomplished this by embracing a convergence of new technologies and tools: demand-driven acquisitions, a powerful discovery layer, the robust e-book marketplace for academic libraries, and Amazon's vast stock and two-day shipping. |
