Academic libraries manage millions of titles outright, and link to millions more through aggregated/subscribed databases (1 database may provide access to thousands of serial titles over many years). Libraries purchase and catalog these materials in various formats- print, audio, electronic/linked, music, licensed, serial/magazine- in order to make them available for circulation and access.

(Select/Acquire): Libraries Select, Acquire/Order, Receive, and Pay for new library materials, using and reporting to account/"fund" structures and Budgets (budget construction is external to OLE).
