Acquisitions Roundtable

Vendor Challenges & Collection Evaluation

Join us for an acquisitions roundtable to discuss common vendor issues and delays in receiving materials. We'll also explore how libraries are evaluating collection purchases—what criteria are used, how decisions are made, and how libraries are adapting to changing needs and budgets.

This open forum is a chance to share experiences, ask questions, and learn from your peers. Please be prepared to have your cameras on if you're comfortable - seeing faces helps us feel more connected - and audio. If you do not have a microphone, you can call in on your phone.

PLEASE REGISTER USING THIS LINK. Zoom call information will be included in your registration confirmation email. Please be sure to open the email and save the call information so you can join us. EACH PERSON FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION WHO WISHES TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS MEETING MUST REGISTER. This meeting will not be recorded. Please register only if you plan to attend.
