Please join us for the
Acquisitions Section Midwinter Forum
The ALCTS Acquisitions Section (AS) Forum "Are We Ready for E-book
Approval Plans?" will take place Monday, January 26, 1:30-3:30 pm in the
Colorado Convention Center, Korbel Ballroom 3B. The forum will consist
of presentations and a panel/ audience discussion on the timely topic of
vendor approval plans for e-books.
The panel includes representatives from three major book vendors, a
publisher, and two library professionals:
* Ann-Marie Breaux, YBP
* Carolyn Morris, Coutts
* Jay Henry, Blackwells
* Rob Boehm, ABC-Clio
* Steven Bosch, University of Arizona
* Lynda Fuller Clendenning, Past AS Chair, will serve as convener
and will round out perspectives on this topic.
The forum will cover the various ways that libraries acquire e-books and
the sustainability of these models as publishers move their monograph
publications to electronic format. The following topics will be
explored: Will libraries want to duplicate print and electronic titles?
What part will on-demand models play? Will we continue print monograph
models or move to entirely new models. Bring your opinions and ideas to
the forum.
