Gateways Through the Vendor Maze: Using Technology (and other tricks) to Manage Legal Publisher
Description: The increasingly complicated world of legal publishing has created a maze for law librarians who develop their collections and acquire library materials. Technology resources are available to better navigate this maze in providing information, gateways for communication, and time saving procedures. Recognized acquisitions and collection development specialists and speakers from AALL's Committee on Relations with Vendors (CRIV) will cover the most useful librarian-created technology resources, including CRIV electronic resources, as well as electronic products and services made available by vendors. They also will discuss the issues that arise when interacting with legal vendors and customer service departments.
Speakers: Rob Richards (University of Colorado) and Frank Houdek (Southern Illinois University) Coordinator: Sheri Lewis (Mercer University)
