The Cancellation Conundrum
Moderator: Kara Phillips, Seattle University Law Library
Speakers: Rita Dermody, King County Law Library; Karen Helde, Lane Powell
With budget reductions and pressure to cut costs, libraries are cancelling materials in all formats (online, print, audio-visual). Join us for a presentation by Rita Dermody, Collection Access Services Librarian at King County Law Library and Karen Helde, Director of Library and Research Services at Lane Powell on cancellations including how to select materials for cancellation, tips and procedures for dealing with vendors, and tracking budgetary impacts.
No doubt you've heard the rumblings and rumors that LLOPS is going to convert the LLOPSCited newsletter into blog. Well, folks, that day has arrived. As your new editor of the official LLOPSCited blog, let me present you with a link to our new blog: http://llops.org/wordpress/
Our blog is a work in progress, both in terms of aesthetics and content. I look forward to hearing your ideas about the look and feel of our blog, as this is a collaborative effort.
