‘Negotiating the future: Collection Development through working with others’
The Studio, Birmingham, Wednesday 18th May 2016
#NAGCd6
The sixth NAG Collection Development seminar for academic libraries took p
lace on Wednesday 18th May at the Studio in Birmingham and from the early delegate feedback it would seem that the combination of presentations, ample time for networking plus group break out sessions was very popular. Delegates have also given very positive feedback about the use of Glisser to share slides and add interactivity. Many thanks to those who have already submitted feedback; we use your responses to shape Seminar 2017 and we appreciate your time to give us your comments and ideas. There is an electronic version of the form available here so please do continue to add your comments.
The theme of this year’s seminar was “Negotiating the future: Collection Development through working with others”. This theme was in response to NAG member and delegate feedback as evidence based acquisitions and negotiating skills become ever more central to their roles in academic libraries.
