 ALA Discussion Group Meeting

Please join us at ALA.

Collection Development for the Practitioner Interest Group
Sunday June 27
1:30 to 3:30
JW Marriott
Capitol Ballroom A/B

Join us for an informal, freewheeling discussion of the issues facing collection
development librarians. We share insights, swap success (and failure) stories
and catch up with what's going on in our part of the library.

Topics for this year include, but are not limited to:

e-book readers

breaking up large journal package deals

collection assessment

patron-driven acquisitions

streaming video

Hope to see you there!
