I agree with Lynn's point. In all of my libraries, the person who does the Acq administration is also doing the ordering. Or at the very least, there is one local contact who should have access to everything. Even our largest systems don't have someone who *only* sets up Acq. I could see if there was a separation where there was a permission profile that had only access to the financials like setting up funds, etc., but that would be a different profile. For the purposes of general administration there should be an ACQADMIN profile that can do everything.

And following up on Irene's point, I also have no problem with having Acquisitions and cataloger permissions more separate *unless* there is a cataloging perm that specifically blocks Acquisitions work from being done. Often our libraries do have the cataloger and the acquisitions person be the same, but in that circumstance they have the ACQADMIN permission and a secondary cataloger permission (or vice versa). I am fine with that, and I think that leaves room for other institutions to have those be more divided if they choose.

So my opinion is that an Acquisitions Administrator profile should have access to everything Acquisitions.
