The Business of Acquisitions-Working Together to Get It Done: Acquisitions
Librarians As Collaborators

An ALCTS preconference to the 2003 ALA/CLA Annual Conference, Toronto

Friday, June 20, 2003, 8:30am-5pm

Managing library acquisitions while budgets are shrinking and formats are
exploding requires new skills and services of acquisitions departments.  In
the 21st century, acquisitions librarians must be collaborators, not just
accommodators.  This preconference will explore our new roles and
responsibilities in the Digital Age.

The content will focus on the need for developing collaborative
relationships
with book, serial and integrated library system (ILS) vendors, consortia,
public services, collection development and data providers.  The program
targets experienced acquisitions librarians, but includes content that will
be useful to new acquisitions librarians and collection development
practitioners as well.
