Recorded Program
Acquisitions units depend on a degree of consistency from vendors in order to operate efficiently in a production-oriented environment. However, not all content-providers are accustomed to catering to the needs of library clients. Join us as we discuss the challenges posed by streaming video and graphic novels from an acquisitions perspective. Two librarians will identify the issues, describe what has worked for them, and discuss how to build upon existing library-vendor partnerships to better meet user needs.
