Registration will close at noon (EST) on December 13th for the NFAIS webinar
Patron Driven Acquisition:  Its Impact on the Purchase and Use of Scholarly
Books and Monographs scheduled to take place from 11:00am to 12:30pm EST on
Friday, December 14.

We all know that budget constrictions are forcing innovative librarians to
seek alternative methods for content access and acquisition.  This 90-minute
webinar twill look at the current shifts in the use and purchase of
scholarly books in academic libraries, amplifying the results of the
recently-released Mellon Foundation funded report, Patron Driven Acquisition
and the University Press.  Our featured experts are those who led the survey
and the creation of the report:

 

Joseph J. Esposito, President, Portable CEO Consulting, and

Kizer Walker, Director of Collection Development, Cornell University Library

 

Some of the key discussion points will be:

  

.         Just-in-time vs. just-in-case collection development in different
types of academic institutions

.         Rationale for and emergence of Patron Driven Acquisition

.         Introduction of the patron-driven acquisition process into the
workflow of the user (student/faculty/researcher) and into the library
acquisition workflow

.         Impact of this shift on Scholarly Publishers and Service Providers


.         The scholarly monograph in both print and digital (format, supply
chain, rental vs, purchase business models, etc.)

.         The impact of resource sharing and inter-library loan

.         The imperative for metadata (A&I, Discovery Tools, OPACS)

.         Incentives for participation

.         Potential barriers/threats (sales impact, e-reader landscape,
Amazon)
