ALCTS-CE Announce <alcts.ce.announce_at_gmail.com>
*New Trends in Library Content Acquisitions*
Tuesday, August 26 and Wednesday, August 27, 2014
*Moderated by Lindsey E. Schell & Jacqueline Wilson*
Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It's free and open to everyone!
Registration information is at the end of the message.
Each day, discussion begins and ends at:
Pacific: 7 a.m. -- 3 p.m.
Mountain: 8 a.m. -- 4 p.m.
Central: 9 a.m. -- 5 p.m.
Eastern: 10 a.m. -- 6 p.m.
Libraries now benefit from an array of new content acquisition models,
ranging from purchase to subscription to demand-driven and various
hybrid models. Additionally, these models apply to both book and journal
content, in both print and electronic formats. These alternative ways of
doing business with publishers, aggregators and other vendors offer a
new flexibility to library acquisitions and collecting strategies.
This two day e-forum will explore these models, discuss examples from a
variety of vendors and analyze which options are optimal for different
circumstances. We will also cover the challenges these models pose,
including budget planning and long-term collection policy development.
The forum will focus primarily on the needs of the academic library,
though some content may be relevant for other library types as well.
Additionally, the first day of the forum will focus primarily on serials
and the second day will focus on monographs.

*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two days. Registration is necessary to participate, but
it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:
