Institutional Goals, Library Solutions
With priorities in higher education shifting, join Lisa Barricella, Head of Acquisitions, E-Resources, & Conservation at East Carolina University, Jeanne Hoover, Head of Scholarly Communication at East Carolina University, Maggie Z. Saponaro, Director of Collection Development Strategies at the University of Maryland Libraries, and Kapil Vasudev, Collection Development Strategies Librarian at University of Maryland Libraries, for an engaging and informative discussion about how academic libraries can partner with vendors to help meet institutional goals.Whether it’s adapting to changing student demographics, maintaining careful stewardship of budgets, equipping students for the workforce, or managing shifting research priorities, libraries need to align with both institutional and library strategic missions – beyond the acquisition of content.As well as insights from the panelists, the session will offer actionable advice for libraries to navigate – and indeed take the lead – on partnering outside the library to adapt to changes in institutional priorities. Speakers: Lisa Barricella - Head of Acquisitions, E-Resources, & Conservation, Academic Library Services, East Carolina University; Jeanne Hoover - Head of Scholarly Communication, Academic Library Services, East Carolina University; Maggie Z.
