Hello all, please consider joining us for the Timberline
Acquisitions
Institute if you aren’t up to submitting a proposal. It is a fun
institute–a much smaller scale than Charleston.
If you are interested in presenting, the Acquisitions Institute at
Timberline Lodge is seeking proposals for presentations as part of the
Institute’s ninth year as the pre-eminent Western North America
conference on
acquisitions and collection development. This three-day conference
focuses on the methods and madness of building and managing library
collections
and information content and provides a small, informal and stimulating
gathering in a convivial and glorious Northwestern setting. Institute
planners
are open to presentations on all aspects of library acquisitions and
collection
management. For the 2009 Institute, we are keen to see submissions
that address:
• Operations management of acquisitions or collection
development
• Acquisitions functions in open source catalogs
• Web 2.0 for acquisitions work
• Role of consortia in collection development
• How subject librarians use their time
• Feral professionals: non-MLS professionals in libraries
• Recruiting for technical services and collection
development
• Scholarly communication from the publisher perspective
• Opening day collections: process and problems
• Data curation: new roles for subject and technical
services specialists
• E-books, streaming audio, streaming video: content,
access, cataloging
• External forces driving a library’s collection
management decisions
• Collection assessment: library and vendor perspectives
• Linking collections with learning outcomes
• Return on investment studies
• Acquisitions and collection development: the small
library perspective
