RE: [ALCTS-acqnet] Feedback Requested on Core Competencies for Acquisitions Professionals

This is a daunting task. Kudos for the committee for carrying on so nicely!

This is already an excellent document that outlines most what I could think of. After I have added my comments, most relevant to e-resources, I wonder if this can be done in collaboration with a similar undertaking by an e-resources committee. After all, the world of Acquisitions Librarian is meeting with that of an e-resource librarian increasingly.

Thank you!

Dear Colleagues,



The ALCST Acquisitions Section tasked its Education Committee with developing a draft document of core competencies for acquisitions professionals. The committee has worked to identify key skills and behaviors that enable successful performance of the acquisitions role in libraries.



The AS Education Committee would now like to invite input from the broader community on this draft competencies document. The committee is particularly seeking comments from professionals in non-academic settings.



The document draft, and also the page at which to leave your comments, may be found here: http://bit.ly/2HXZiPa<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F2HXZiPa&data=02%7C01%7CYing.Zhang%40ucf.edu%7Ca5214d9db4b8421ed83508d58825fc69%7Cbb932f15ef3842ba91fcf3c59d5dd1f1%7C0%7C1%7C636564619133335764&sdata=15xbUZvxw5zLUU3yBgeTzp1m1yyeqbK5oKRrdhd0xhA%3D&reserved=0>



We encourage everyone to submit feedback by *April 1*.



Thank you in advance for your thoughtful feedback.



Sincerely,
