Subject: Berlin Satellite meeting announcement

"Is digital different? New trends and challenges in acquisition and
collection development," Munich (30 - 31 July 2003). Sponsored by IFLA
Acquisition and Collection Development Section and Bavarian State Library.

This two-day preconference, to be held in Munich, the capital city of
Bavaria, focuses on the question of how principles of acquisition and
collection development change in the digital age. It addresses an
international audience, in particular librarians actively engaged or
interested in hybrid library issues, information industry professionals,
and academics as producers and users of scholarly information.

International experts, representing different segments of the information
chain, will examine the validity of traditional selection criteria in the
digital world. Case studies will give first-hand information on how the
hybrid collection can be organised in terms of creating user-oriented
access points as well as the internal restructuring of work-flow
processes. Papers and panel discussions will explore current trends in
acquisition policy for the hybrid library, such as the value of consortia
building and the importance of constant evaluation, in particular against
the background of emerging changes in the publishing world.
