Subject: Greetings!
 
As you can tell, "July" has arrived a few days early in that I'm
the one putting together ACQNET No. 90, not Christian. Considering
that pre-ALA hysteria has reached a fever pitch here at Emory, I
wasn't planning to do anything about ACQNET until after the 4th of
July. But Barbara Winters' missive (see below) won't wait. While we're
at it, I'll make one other point:
 
It's probably best if you continue sending postings directly to
Christian's ACQNET id (CRI@CORNELLC); Scott Wicks will forward these
to me and I will put the July issues together based on his postings.
 
Looking forward to a great deal of good conversation, both here in
Atlanta this weekend and afterwards in ACQNET.
 
Take care getting here!

|BW wanted this item in ASAP--it would have come to you sooner except
Emory's incoming bitnet mail has experienced delays this week. Sorry,
Barbara! --RPJ|
 
Those interested in the informal discussion regarding acquisitions
tenets and the role of the acquisitions professional should gather in
the GWCC, room 217E, immediately following the RS Reorganization
Meeting (ca. 12:30), Monday, July 1.  We will have a light lunch but a
meaty discussion!  We will meet from 12:30 to 1:30, to allow folks
time to get to their 2:00 meetings.
 
If you need more details, contact Barbara Winters by Wednesday
afternoon at 804-367-1094; or call her at the Hilton in Atlanta at
404-659-2000 after Thursday afternoon.

Subject: Budget formulae
 
|This was forwarded by Howard Spivak (HOBSC@CUNYVM)--Ed.|
 
Is your library's acquisitions budget determined by the application of
a formula or rationale?  (We are not asking about a formula or
schematic used for allocating the acquisitions budget among academic
departments, disciplines, or material types after the budget is
already determined, but a method for deciding how much that budget
will actually be.)  Some of the factors which may be included in such
a formula are number of students, number of faculty, enrollment levles
in various disciplines, and costs of various material types (books,
journals, AV, electronic media).  If you have such a formula or
rationale please contact Barbra Higginbotham, Chief Librarian,
Brooklyn College, Brooklyn NY  11210; BXHBC@CUNYVM.CUNY.EDU; Voice
718/780-5342; Fax 718/859-7277.  Please pardon any duplicate messages
that arrive from duplicate postings.

Subject: PVLR Monday meeting
 
Some of you will have noted that the Monday meeting of the ALCTS
Publisher/Vendor-Library Relations Committee (PVLR) is scheduled at
*exactly* the same time as the RS/CMDS/ALMS Reorganization Open Forum,
i.e., 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. on Monday, July 1. For that matter, the
Open Forum meeting is supposed to be across the hall from the PVLR
Meeting, which is to take place in GWCC (Georgia World Congress
Center) 218E.
 
As it happens, practically everyone on PVLR would like to be at the
Reorganization Open Forum--including me, and I'm the chair of PVLR.
Consequently, we will try to limit PVLR's Monday agenda to reporting
out items from the executive session of our Saturday meeting. (As you
know, executive session is when we discuss complaints and other
matters of a confidential nature.) Hopefully, we will wrap up in time
to adjourn and to go across the hall for the Open Forum.
 
All this means we will have a very full agenda for PVLR's Saturday,
June 29 meeting, which is scheduled for 2-4 p.m. in GWCC 216E. Hope
you will be able to join us then.
