Subject: ALA PROGRAM: Effective Interfaces between Acq and Financial Systems

The Final Frontier: Creating Effective Interfaces Between Acquisitions and
Financial Systems.  Georgia World Congress Center; Sunday, June 16, 2002;
1:30-3:30 PM; Rooms B308/B309.

Further automating acquisitions services beyond placing orders and
tracking expenditures depends on finding ways to develop interfaces
between integrated library systems and administrative systems used by
institutions to manage finances. During this session, pioneers in
developing such interfaces will share creative strategies for establishing
interfaces between acquisitions and financial systems and offer
suggestions for ways by which system developers can enhance existing
products.

Speakers are Joan G. Lamborn, Head of Library Administrative Services,
University of Northern Colorado; Patricia Smith, Coordinator, Acquisitions
Services, Colorado State University Libraries; Kris Reed, Director of
Financial Management, Central University Libraries, Southern Methodist
University.

Sponsored by the ALCTS Acquisitions Section Technology Committee and
co-sponsored by the ALCTS Serials Section.
