ALA PVLR Forum Jan 22: Libraries and University Presses Working Together?

["October Ivins" <october.ivins@mindspring.com>]

Please plan to attend the ALCTS Publisher-Vendor-Library Relations (PVLR)
Open Forum in Seattle:

Libraries and University Presses Working Together?

8 - 10 AM on Monday, January 22, 2007
Washington State Convention & Trade Center, Room 201

**Want to know more about how libraries are collaborating with 
university presses? What if your institution doesn't have a 
university press? How are roles changing and what are the new 
publishing opportunities for libraries? In this, the second of 
two forums devoted to the state of the university press, the 
ALCTS PVLR Interest Group will bring together distinguished 
representatives from libraries and presses for an open discussion 
of their strategies for success.

Our speakers will include:

**Terry Ehling, Director, Center for Innovative Publishing, Office of
Scholarly Communications and Collections Development, Cornell University
Library

**Alex Holzman, Director, Temple University Press

**Monica McCormick, Director of Digital Publishing, NCSU Libraries, North
Carolina State University

At the end of the forum, stay for brief updates from the DLF ERMI 
group on their current effort to facilitate acquisitions data 
exchange between ILS and ERMS systems, and from the PCC on a MARC 
guide for monograph aggregator vendors that they are producing.

PVLR also has a business meeting which is open to all at every 
ALA on Saturday afternoon.  Please join us from 1:30 - 3:30 on 
Saturday Jan. 20th at the Westin Seattle, Olympic Room.
