Diversity in Libraries : challenges for 21st century procurement (May 26, 2017)
AGI hosted this seminar in North Training Room, Berkeley Library, Trinity College Dublin.
We had speakers on topics such as procurement and resource delivery for special needs patrons, the role of tendering in library collection development, the importance of usage statistics when making renewal decisions and how to ensure we are comparing like with like.
We also looked at the various methods of purchasing eBooks as either a package product or on a title by title basis, and a new way of browsing eJournals.
