Subject: ALA ALCTS Meeting Announcement: PVLR Interest Group Open Forum


Please plan to attend the Publisher-Vendor Library Relations Interest 
Group Open Forum in New Orleans:

University Presses: Rising to the Challenge
8 - 10 AM on Monday morning, June 26, 2006
Morial Convention Center; Room 242

Want to know more about how University Presses are embracing the 
challenges facing scholarly publishing? What does it take for a UP to 
thrive these days?  How are the Presses dealing with shrinking markets, 
working to provide the new services electronic technology allows, 
developing new marketing strategies, reorganizing and retraining their 
staff? Where do libraries come in?

In this, the first of two Forums devoted to the state of the University
Presses (the second to follow at Midwinter 2007), the ALCTS Publisher-
Vendor Library Relations Interest Group has brought together 
distinguished representatives of the University Press book and journal 
publishing communities for an open discussion of their strategies for 
success. 

Our Speakers Include: 
Donna Blagdan, Journals Marketing Manager, Duke University Press 
Barbara Ras, Director, Trinity University Press 
Seetha Srinivasan, Director, University Press of Mississippi 
Julie Steffen, Associate Journals Division Manager, Astronomy 
Publisher, The University of Chicago Press

Our Moderator will be October Ivins, publishing industry consultant 
(Ivins e-Content Solutions).

PVLR hosts an open forum at each ALA Conference, summer and winter. In 
January 2007 (Seattle), our topic will be: Relationships Between the 
University Press and its Respective Library.   

We conduct our business meeting every conference at 1:30 PM on 
Saturday afternoon.  To learn about how you might get involved with 
this important work, please contact the chair.

Chair: Ruth Fischer
