2013 Charleston Conference

Too much can be a very good thing, but when is too much, too much? If the constantly changing ebook environment has created chaos behind your library’s frontlines, you’re not alone. “E vs. P” format decisions seem easier said than done while juggling DDA, subscriptions, and outright purchase decisions simultaneously. How does a library respond to new options while managing necessary changes to selection, acquisition and cataloging workflows? Making decisions in a constant state of flux is not easy. If you’re staying in step or ahead of the chaos, we salute you - please share your secrets in both cases! Come to this Lively Lunch to share how the plethora of choices have impacted library services and collection management. We’ll discuss new tasks and how well (or not!) we’re addressing the impact of this transitional collection world.
