Subject: Nominations sought
You are invited to submit nominations for co-chair(s) of the ALCTS
Acquisitions Section's Acquisitions Librarians/Vendors of Library
Materials Discussion Group.
As you may know, the official charge of the Discussion Group is "to
stimulate and facilitate the free flow of ideas between and among
acquisition librarians and vendors of library materials".
The two co-chairs (typically one acquisitions librarian and one
representative from the vendor world) enjoy simultaneous one-year terms
and the relatively light workload of coordinating twice-yearly
discussions at the ALA Midwinter and Annual Conferences.
Examples of recent discussion topics include our Midwinter 2002 (in New
Orleans) meeting where we hosted a discussion of the ripple effects of
terroism on our operations and our upcoming Summer 2002 program (in
Atlanta) where we will conduct a discussion about the changing vendor /
library landscape.
If someone you know (or you yourself) might be interested in directing
such discussions next year, please submit the nominees' names and
contact information by Friday, June 7, 2002.
We will compile the nominations and conduct the election right there at
our meeting at ALA (where the peaceful transition will occur).
Please send nominations (and/or any questions/concerns) to the outgoing
DG co-chairs:
