What drives acquisitions in 2014?
The face of acquisitions is changing -from single copy print to shared 
print, from print to electronic. Demand driven acquisition (DDA) has 
changed how we handle purchasing - and revolutionized the approval plan 
process. Spaces are changing too, from in-library shelving to shared 
space and even off-site high density storage. Publishers are becoming 
vendors (Project MUSE, UPSO), and with the advent of Espresso Book 
Machines some libraries are becoming publishers. These monumental shifts 
impact how we manage our work, but also significantly impact how we 
deliver books and e-content to our students and researchers. How do 
these changes impact how we acquire? And how do they impact the way 
vendors and publishers do business with us?

Our distinguished panel of experts will tell us about their experiences, 
and share some of the newest practices that can ease the pain of a 
constantly changing workplace.

Panelists:
     Julie Swann--Head, Content, Access and Delivery Services, Cline 
Library, Northern Arizona University
     Michael Zeoli Vice-President, eContent Development & Publisher 
Relations, YBP Library Services
     Alex Holzman, Director, Temple University Press
The Publisher Vendor Library Relations (PVLR-IG) Interest Group of the 
American Library Association is a long-standing interest group that 
seeks to create formal and informal settings for the discussion of 
issues and trends of interest to publishers, vendors, librarians, and 
others concerned with the business aspects of library collections and 
technical services, and to highlight best practices among our 
constituent groups.

**Be a part of the conversation! Come to the PVLR committee planning 
meeting on Saturday, January 25th from 4:30 to 5:30 - MAR Room 406
