New Roles for Acquisitions: Selecting and Harvesting for Institutional 
Repositories

Electronic resources have forever altered the nature of work done by
acquisitions librarians. Acquisitions librarians have taken on new and
more complex roles with each step in the electronic resource movement.
They have mastered the review and negotiation of license agreements, the
acquisition of electronic journals and books, and, most recently, the
maintenance of electronic resource management systems. The Acquisitions
Section is hosting a forum on the latest transformational change that
has taken place in research libraries—the development of institutional
repositories.

*Karl Debus-López,* National Agricultural Library, and *Trisha Davis,*
Ohio State University, will give brief presentations on how they have
restructured their acquisitions operations to manage the selection and
harvesting of content for their institutions' digital repositories.
There will be ample time after their presentations for discussion and
questions from the audience. We are interested in hearing about how you
are absorbing new resources—institutional repositories or anything else
that is new and different—into your libraries.

Join your colleagues on Monday, January 14, 1:30–3 pm at the
Pennsylvania Convention Center, Room 204C for this important event.
