The tasks which the ordering agency of a library performs and
the methods used in performing these tasks are determined by the
functions and responsibilities assigned to that agency, the place of the
agency in the library's organization structure, and the legal restrictions
which it must observe. Translated into more specific terms, the
activities and procedures of the ordering agency will be dictated by its
relations to the book selection processes of the library, its part in
budget control, the laws of the state or municipality which affect its
purchasing procedures, and the reports which it is required to make
to the library's governing board, to the library administrator, and to
other library agencies.
