Abstract

The concern and procedure of acquisition are significant components in the various phases of  information spreading. The relevant resources are procured in the library for usage by the users. The  acquisition process has witnessed a drastic change in recent times due to various digitalization issues,  financial disruptions, various delivery modes, etc. There is a difference in the library officers' selection of  resources based on their knowledge and experience. The present research work aims to determine the  various researches done in the acquisition area and higher education libraries. The literature review was  done from reputed databases like Taylor and Francis, Emerald and Web of Science, and then a Prisma  model was developed for better results. NVivo was used to understand the literature gap using the words  cloud and treemap. The study concludes that the literature gap is in relative worth of higher education  libraries' factors influencing acquisition.
