Additions 2009

Chronology of Library Acquisitions During 2009

Updated 31 December 2009.

Acquisitions are the business record of library additions. Accordingly, each entry citation carries only enough information to identify the title and is not bibliographically complete.

Data includes limited elements: date of acquisition & source, accession number, abbreviated author, brief title; edition if distinctive; price. Accession numbers may appear out of sequence when numbers are inadvertently skipped or reused from discovered duplicates or reused for replacement copies, noted by an “r” suffix.
