Call for panelists- ALA Anaheim, Acquisitions Managers & Vendors Interest Group (ALA 2012)
The ALCTS AS Acquisitions Managers & Vendors Interest Group invites panelists for a discussion on acquisitions functionality in next-generation integrated library systems.
This Interest Group will meet at the ALA Annual Conference in Anaheim on Sunday, June 24, 2012 from 1:30 pm - 3:30pm in the HYATT-Grand Ballroom B.
The panel will include representatives of major ILS vendors who can address how new systems handle traditional acquisitions functions, such as print resource ordering, receiving, and invoicing; as well as new
functionality related to electronic resource acquisition and maintenance, purchase-on-demand (ILL/ACQ), and digital resources.
The chairs invite librarian participants who have experience with next-generation systems, but also anyone with interest, curiosity and questions about the topic. What would you like to see addressed by next-generation systems? How can workflows be improved? What new workflows do you anticipate needing supported?
