If you are interested in speaking at the seminar, we are looking to fill a number of slots, so please do contact us with an outline.

Theme

The seminar addresses academic library Acquisitions Services. This year we would like to focus on Operational Excellence and share ways in which Acquisitions teams have made processes more efficient, reducing wasted effort or spending and better equipping themselves to support their institutions.

Building on the success of the 2016 seminar, we also intend to run a breakout session to allow delegates to discuss issues further and for NAG to report on current and best practice. More specific ideas for this are also welcome.

As well as a programme of presentations and the breakout session, our seminar offers you the opportunity to network, exchange real life experience with Library colleagues and suppliers. We will once again be using the interactive app Glisser to enable real time slide sharing, polls and questions.

Please note:
