MEETING ANNOUNCEMENT:

ACRL, New England Chapter, Serials Interest Group

        SPRING WORKSHOP

"LIBRARY*PUBLISHER*VENDOR RELATIONS IN THE 1990S: ISSUES & TRENDS"

                {Presented by Yankee Book Peddler}

The economic and political climate of the 1990's is one of unprecedented
insecurity for libraries.  Dwindling support, rising prices, new technolo-
gies, new user demands, all have combined to bear down upon libraries with
such force that the word "crisis" is nearly a commonplace today.

These pressures bear down in turn upon the businesses who serve libraries.
In the 1990's every book/serial vendor and every publisher faces sharp
competition for a share of the ebbing library market.  Vendor and
publishers alike expect a difficult decade of their own in meeting the
responsibility to reinvest in new and established services and programs,
to ensure continued strength for our publishing and distribution system.

Please join us for a slide presentation and discussion, LIBRARY-VENDOR-
RELATIONS IN THE 1990'S: ISSUES AND TRENDS.  How can these three groups
work together with the goal of a healthy future for all?  We hope this
session is in itself one step toward better relationships among libraries,
publishers, and vendors, who will need to consider one another
partners during the 1990's.
