Introduction

Alma Acquisitions - Open Source (AAOS) is the open-source version of the Acquisitions - New books at the library in use at Leiden University Libraries.

AAOS was created to display the latest acquisitions made at Leiden University Libraries: e-books, journals, e-journals, etc. It was designed to allow the library's employees to manage the acquisitions lists via an clear and user-friendly admin interface, rather than depending on the actions of a developer to create or modify them.
