COULTER - (319) 273-2801" <Cynthia.Coulter@UNI.EDU> Subject: ALCTS Acq Libns/Vendors of Lib Matls Discussion Group Comments: To: serialst@uvmvm.uvm.EDU, acqnet-l@lester.appstate.EDU Acquisitions Librarians/Vendors of Library Materials Discussion Group It's Not Just the Two of Us Anymore: A Trialogue between Acquisitions Librarian, Library Materials Vendor, and Systems Vendor ******* Speakers: James Huesmann (Head of Technical and Automated Services, Linda Hall Library in Kansas City) Becky Lenzini (President, CARL Corporation) Asha Capoor (Group Director for Library Services and Database Administration, Baker & Taylor) Increasingly, both librarians and vendors alike have come to recognize a not-so-invisible third party in their efforts to obtain library materials. That third party is the vendor of the library system. Vendors of library materials have many exciting new products and services to offer libraries with the implementation of automation. Many libraries can't wait until they can take advantage of electronic ordering, claiming, and invoicing, to name a few. Some, if not all, of those advances depend upon the ability of the library's automated system to support those services. The vendors of library systems must decide, among all the competing demands, which to research, develop, and market. We hope to provide a forum at MidWinter in which representatives of the three groups can talk briefly about those services offered by vendors which require an interface with an automated system, each approaching the topic from their own point of view. Please join us to participate in this discussion! ************************* ALA MIDWINTER ************************* San Antonio Sunday, January 21, 1996 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. Sheraton Gunter's Bluebonnet Room ***************************************************************** (4)--------------------------- Date: Thu, 11 Jan 1996 08:30:17 -0500 From: "Mak,Collette" <makc@OCLC.ORG> Organization: OCLC Inc, Dublin, Ohio USA (614) 764-6000 Subject: OCLC Seminar Location Comments: To: collib-l <collib-l@willamette.edu>, docdel-l <docdel-l@www.ebscodoc.com>, ill-l <ill-l@usc.edu>, libref-l <libref-l@kentvm.kent.edu>, lynnsipes <lsipe@calvin.usc.edu>, pacs-l <pacs-l@uhupvm1.uh.edu>, publib-l <publib@nysernet.org>, serialst-l <serialst@uvmvm.uvm.edu>, unsnetco-l <unsnetco-l@oclc.org> The tickets have been mailed for OCLC's The Future is Now: the convergence of reference and resource sharing.
