Registration is now being accepted for the 9th Annual Acquisitions
Institute at Timberline Lodge. Come join us for this three-day
conference in a gorgeous Northwestern setting. The Institute offers a
small, informal, and stimulating forum for discussing the methods and
madness of building and managing library collections.
This year's keynote speaker is Terry Reese, Gray Chair for Innovative
Library Services, at Oregon State University Libraries in Corvallis,
Oregon. Terry will be speaking on open data and open source and the
importance of encouraging integration between vendors and the library
developer community. Rounding out the Institute will be multiple
sessions focused on handling the acquisition of e-resources, managing
personnel, and building digital and cooperative collections. The
conference will be held May 16-19, 2009, on the grounds of Timberline
Lodge. Timberline Lodge is located one hour east of Portland, Oregon, on
the slope of Mount Hood.
