ALA ALCTS Publisher/Vendor Library Relations Committee Open Forum on Outsourcing Changing relationships among publishers, vendors and librarians: In an age of outsourcing - whose job is it anyway? Monday February 17, 1997 9:30-11:00 am Renaissance Washington Hotel Rooms 12-13 Moderated by Trisha Davis, Chair of PVLR, this Open Forum will provide the opportunity for discussion among book vendors, subscription agents, publishers, book reviewers, and librarians on the topic of Outsourcing. There will be short presentations on outsourcing initiatives, pilot projects, and ongoing programs to provide background the services vendors are offering and what the market wants and why. The discussion will look at who the market is, who wants what service, and as outsourcing covers more of the "traditional" librarian roles, how that affects other members of the supply/demand chain. Confirmed participants include: Barry Fast, Academic Book Center Arnie Wright, Baker & Taylor Charles Wittenberg, Blackwell North America Bill Ott, Editor, Booklist Stan Terry, EBSCO Janice McIntyre, Faxon Larry Price, Ingram Library Services Gary Houk, OCLC Judy Schott, Readmore Marie Gillies, Swets JohnSecor, Yankee Book Peddler Please join us at any time during this program for a lively discussion. We welcome all questions and comments from librarians, publishers, vendors, and distributors involved with outsourcing in any format.
