[OPLINLIST] NOTSL Program Announcement

[Jennifer Bull]

The Northern Ohio Technical Services Librarians (NOTSL) presents our spring
2005 continuing education program:



"Putting Your Vendors to Work for You"

Friday, June 3, 2005

9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Cuyahoga County Public Library Administration Building

Parma, Ohio



Times are tight.  Libraries of all sizes face budget cuts and it is
increasingly harder to defend the need for new staff and supplies.
Technical Services Departments and Acquisitions staffs carry a
responsibility to manage funds with wisdom and insight.  But how to best
manage this?  And at what cost?  One solution is to put the vendors to work.
>From the order process, to cataloging, to physical processing of items in
both the public and academic realms, the four segments of this day-long
program will provide information of value.



Speakers and topics will include:

Mary Murphy, Technical Services Coordinator, Cleveland Heights-University
Heights Public Library - "Acquisitions for the Rest of Us"



Margaret Maurer, Assistant Professor, Catalog & Metadata Librarian, Kent
State University Libraries and Media Services - "Typical Value Added Vendor
Services"



Julia Gammon, Head, Acquisitions Department, University Libraries,
University of Akron - "Acquiring Books: Approval Plans and Cooperative
Collection Management"



Louise Sevold, Technical Services Director, Cuyahoga County Public Library

"Vendor Assessment: How to Measure Vendor Performance"



NOTSL is listed as an Approved Continuing Professional Development Provider
for the OLC Public Librarian Certification Program.
