Market report, or alternative opportunities of acquisition.

FAZOKAS Eszter — KAPOSVÁRINÉ DÁNYI Éva

Now that the monopoly of former large enterprises has ceased in distributing imported and Hungarian books, and new solutions have not yet become clear, librarians have difficulties in getting information. The authors try to give an overview about potential sources of acquisitions. They made interviews with the representatives of 12 firms about present services. Among those interviewed were the old-established enterprises and their renewed successors, newly established importers, the representatives of large foreign firms in Hungary, and ventures engaged in distributing Hungarian books. It is characteristic of the market situation in Hungary that a number of changes have happened even during sending this manuscript to the printing office. The authors encourage acquisitions librarians to avail themselves of the opportunities which are advantageous for libraries. (pp. 36-49)
