   Acquisitions Managers and Vendors Discussion Group

  The Acquisitions Administrators and the Acquisitions Managers
  and Vendors Discussion Groups will be meeting together on
  Sunday, January 16, from 2-4 pm
  in Boston in the Constitution Ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel.

  How are books and journals mediated between library and publisher by 
a vendor?

  David Kerin, Vice President and General Manager from EBSCO, and 
George Rego,
  Chief of Operations at YBP Library Services will be pulling
  back the curtain on vendors' 'back rooms.' There have been presentations
  in various forums on the 'supply chain'--i.e. how do the materials 
get from
  publisher to library; however we believe that this is an opportunity 
to meet
  a different cast of characters that will make for a very interesting 
discussion.

  We hope that you will join us for this session.
