Apologies for cross-posting.
This is a final call for ideas for the CRIV Hot Topic program, which will be
offered for the first time at the AALL Annual Meeting and Conference in
Boston.
Modeled after the AALL Hot Topic program, it will focus on a late-breaking
industry trend in publishing, product development, customer service or
marketing, and how that trend affects library/vendor relations. The program
will be targeted toward librarians who deal with information providers and
maintain the library's business relationships. Publishers and information
vendors who are responsible for library customer relations, product
development or business systems also will benefit from the discussion. The
goal of the program is to help participants identify and analyze specific
publisher practices or publishing trends and to be able to respond to those
trends that affect their business relationships.
Although the Committee has already received several good ideas as a result
of earlier postings, we are issuing one last call for suggestions for the
topic and the format of the program. Have you noticed a particular
publishing trend or business practice that warrants broader discussion? Are
your business relationships with vendors and publishers changing because of
industry trends?
If so, please send your nomination for the CRIV Hot Topic directly to me:
mailto:mmaxtmann@stthomas.edu. The final selection will be made on April
19.
Thank you.
Margie Axtmann, Chair
AALL Committee on Relations with Information Vendors
