The Future of Acquisitions: Planning For Change in an Ever-Changing 
Environment



Saturday, June 25, 2011 – 8:00 a.m.-10:00 a.m. – Moscone Convention 
Center, Room 391



What synergies do you see between Acquisitions skills sets and new 
services that didn't exist in the past? How are you positioning your 
department to leverage your skills over the next three to five years? As 
many of our traditional tasks are automated and outsourced many 
Acquisitions staff are retooling existing skills to participate in new 
resource sharing services and digital repository tasks, to name a few. 
Our speakers will address issues such as doing more with less staff; 
retooling workflows in collaboration with vendors; and the relative 
value of outsourcing. Join us to explore the future of Acquisitions!
