The Business of Acquisitions-Working Together to Get It Done: Acquisitions Librarians As Collaborators An ALCTS preconference to the 2003 ALA/CLA Annual Conference, Toronto Friday, June 20, 2003, 8:30am-5pm Managing library acquisitions while budgets are shrinking and formats are exploding requires new skills and services of acquisitions departments. In the 21st century, acquisitions librarians must be collaborators, not just accommodators. This preconference will explore our new roles and responsibilities in the Digital Age. The content will focus on the need for developing collaborative relationships with book, serial and integrated library system (ILS) vendors, consortia, public services, collection development and data providers. The program targets experienced acquisitions librarians, but includes content that will be useful to new acquisitions librarians and collection development practitioners as well.
