All DEDU members are invited to attend.
As collections move from the print to the electronic world, libraries must change their collection development practices and policies to reflect new opportunities and challenges. In this session you will learn how libraries are transforming their collection development practices and policies to address the proliferation of electronic books, including acquisitions based on patron demand. In addition, learn about creating, managing and selling e-books from the publisher’s perspective, information that will give librarians valuable insight into e-books from press to desktop.

The theme for this year’s poster session is “Jumping over the Candlestick: Individual and Institutional Efforts to Be Nimble and Quick in an Interconnected World.” Posters will present case studies, research and innovative ideas about how information professionals and/or their institutions are staying agile in today’s open world economy. This session is a relaxed and informal time to share ideas with colleagues, learn about exciting projects, and of course, choose how you’ll cast your vote for favorite poster!
Do you feel like you can't get through to colleagues or customers? Ever find yourself hoping that your co-workers would comprehend what you need without having to explain it to them--again? This fun-filled and interactive session will uncover the ways we inadvertently impede communication and how we can gain practical skills for any interaction--especially where generations mix.
