WHAT IS The Acquisitions Institute?
- Since 2000, the pre-eminent conference located in Western North
America on acquisitions and collection development, held at Timberline
Lodge.
- A three-day conference focusing on the methods and innovation of
building and managing library collections.
- A small (capped at 80 attendees), informal and stimulating gathering
in a convivial and glorious Pacific Northwest setting.
- WHAT TOPICS are we looking for?
The planning committee is seeking submissions on all aspects of library
acquisitions and collection management. Presenters are encouraged to engage
the audience in discussion, whether the presentation leans more toward the
practical "here's what we did" sessions or toward the more abstract "here's
what we think" sessions. The committee may also seek to achieve balance in
the program by bringing individual proposals together to form panels, or by
recommending that a proposal be converted to a table talk. We invite you to
indicate whether or not you'd be interested in these opportunities on the
submission proposal form.
Topics we and/or prior year's attendees are interested in include (in no
particular order):
- Assessment tools, methods, and projects (e.g., linking collections
with learning outcomes; usage studies; GreenGlass, altmetrics)
- Collection strategies including new models for selection and managing
liaison programs
- Public library and/or small academic library perspectives in
acquisitions and collection development
- Sustainable models for publishing/pricing
- Effective management of collections with constrained resources
- Vendor and publisher evaluation, including business skills to
determine financial viability
- Diversity, inclusion, representation, and social justice in
acquisitions and collections
- Negotiation skills and how to use them, including during
library-vendor and library-publisher meetings
- Innovative vendor-librarian relationships and/or partnerships
- Staffing, training and development, and recruiting issues, challenges,
successes (e.g., onboarding new acquisitions and/or collections staff)
- Using data visualization techniques to tell our stories (e.g., budget,
collections, staff successes, etc.)
- Impacts of Open initiatives on acquisitions and collection development
- Data curation, including Big Data, and management and other new roles
for subject and technical services librarians
- How Generative AI impacts our work
*The DEADLINE for submitting a proposal is December 29, 2023.* Proposals
