ALA Licensing Programs
We are writing as co-chairs of the ALCTS AS Acquisitions Librarians/Vendors of Library Materials Discussion Group to request your participation at our upcoming meeting in San Francisco. The topic of our meeting will be: VIRTUAL AQUISITIONS: BLESSING OR BURDEN - Acquiring library materials in electronic formats. Part II: Solutions. Libraries, vendors and publishers are facing major changes and additional responsibilities and challenges with the advent of electronic publishing. At our meeting in February, many issues on this topic were raised by the speakers and by the audience. In San Francisco, we will have speakers from OCLC and Tufts University presenting a survey of various solutions available to deal with some of the issues we raised at ALA Midwinter. Some of these issues include: selection, training, payment, licensing, archiving, maintenance, security, management, etc. As before, we are also asking for your ideas on this topic. If you have implemented a particularly successful solution to one or more issues surrounding the acquisitions of electronic materials and would be willing to briefly share this with the group (5 mintues), we'd like to hear from you! Simply e-mail or call us at the contact information below with your name, title, organization, phone, e-mail and a brief description of your solution, so that we can schedule you as part of our program. This way, we can all learn from each other. As time permits, we will also continue our small group discussions. Our meeting will be held on Sunday morning, June 29th, from 8:30-10:30 a.m. at the Crowne Plaza Parc Fifty-five - Barcelona I. Also, if you would be interested in co-chairing this group next year (either as a librarian or a vendor), please let us know!
