      Acquisitions Librarians/Vendors of Library Materials
                        Discussion Group

              It's Not Just the Two of Us Anymore:
                      A Trialogue between
                    Acquisitions Librarian,
          Library Materials Vendor, and Systems Vendor

                             *******
Speakers:

James Huesmann
     (Head of Technical and Automated Services, Linda Hall
     Library in Kansas City)
Becky Lenzini
     (President, CARL Corporation)
Asha Capoor
     (Group Director for Library Services and Database
     Administration, Baker & Taylor)

Increasingly, both librarians and vendors alike have come to
recognize a not-so-invisible third party in their efforts to
obtain library materials.  That third party is the vendor of the
library system.

Vendors of library materials have many exciting new products and
services to offer libraries with the implementation of
automation.  Many libraries can't wait until they can take
advantage of electronic ordering, claiming, and invoicing, to
name a few.  Some, if not all, of those advances depend upon the
ability of the library's automated system to support those
services.  The vendors of library systems must decide, among all
the competing demands, which to research, develop, and market.

We hope to provide a forum at MidWinter in which representatives
of the three groups can talk briefly about those services offered
by vendors which require an interface with an automated system,
each approaching the topic from their own point of view.

        Please join us to participate in this discussion!
