1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 This section outlines the considerations and approaches that inform the collection review undertaken by donors, dealers, and repositories prior to a formal acquisition agreement or contract.

2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 1 Born-digital materials present preservation and access challenges that place new demands on the people involved in the acquisition process.
