Subject: ACQFlash: ALCTS Acquisitions Managers & Vendors Interest Group
The ALCTS Acquisitions Section -- Acquisitions Managers and Vendors
Interest Group is pleased to present the following session at ALA Midwinter:
Locations and Dislocations in Technical Services: Coping with a Move Offsite
As library space becomes pressured by information commons, collaborative
study areas, coffee shops and full stacks, technical services operations are
increasingly being considered for relocation -- to outside the library
or even
entirely off-campus. Whether those moves are permanent or temporary
(e.g., for renovations), the effects of disruption, distance, and impact on
technical services workloads can be significant. How have Acquisitions
managers coped with these changes? How have their vendors and agents
been able to help? Join us as an experienced panel of two librarians and a
vendor discuss their experiences with this growing phenomenon. Some of
the topics we expect to cover include: physical change of address; timing of
first redirected shipments; impact on approval review procedures;
opportunities
for new workflow layouts; communication issues, and many others.
The panel includes:
Mary Page, Head of Acquisitions, Rutgers University
Germaine Wadeborn, Manager, Print Acquisitions, UCLA Library
Kittie Henderson, Account Services Manager, EBSCO
Rick Lugg, R2 Consulting, Moderator
The panel's presentations will last about one hour, leaving at least 45
minutes
for questions and discussion. We look forward to a lively session, and to
some practical advice from both panelists and audience members who have
confronted this issue.
