Roundup of Past Oriented Library Acquisitions Lists Online or by Email

[Originally posted 9/27/10, Most recently updated 1 January  2017]

It used to be fairly common for specialized library collections to produce periodic Acquisitions Lists.  Mostly these were circulated in print, informally.  Some institutions have made the transition to email distribution, and others to digital. I'm gathering links here to them and to other useful open access periodic bibliography projects. Not everything listed here is up to date, but all of them are useful.  I'll be grateful to hear of others and will happily include them in the list.  Please leave a comment.

  1. Bryn Mawr Classical Review's monthly list of books available for review serves as a sort of acquisitions list: http://bmcr.brynmawr.edu/booksavailable.html

  3. The library at my school, University of Oklahoma, offers a very valuable service - you can subscribe by Call Number Range to an RSS feed for new acquisitions. I would encourage other libraries to implement something like this - it is incredibly useful and very user-friendly!

  5. The Bibliothèque des Sciences de l'Antiquité (Lille, France) also offers periodic acquisitions lists. These are enriched with links to web resources (websites, reviews, ToCs...). I also developed a litte jQuery script that generates links to online records for each item (based upon the ISBN).
    An example here : http://bsa.biblio.univ-lille3.fr/acquisitions_2010-02.html
    Our lists are managed manually (with a little help from Zotero). Managing dynamically this kind of lists would be much more better, with RSS feeds and other useful functionalities (sorting, exporting, etc.).
