Abstract: Collection development circumstances change due to the active use of online electronic resour-ces. The notion of “acquisition” extends not only to the library’s own collection, but also to remote access electronic resources. The forthcoming of new acquisition objects and new acquisition methods in the electronic environment has broadened the traditional acquisition process. Materials acquired to the library’s own collection and licensed by the library have different forms of storage and methods for providing users’ services. The method of dividing the collection in a temporary and permanent parts based on the form of documents’ ownership is considered, and the properties of documents related to the temporary collection - aggregation, chronological characteristics of material availability, renewability, legal conditions - are described. Online electronic resources features affect the properties of a temporary collection, such as reliability, dynamics, selectivity. Traditional acquisition processes have been replaced by the new processes - licensing, maintenance of financial documents for payment of services on access, registration of licensed online electronic documents. Nowadays the libraries should transform the collection development processes in terms of working with remote access electronic resources.
