There is much to interest public library delegates at the National
Acquisitions Group Conference, to be held at the Royal York Hotel in
The theme is “Learning from success”, and we
have a packed and interesting programme lined up for you – full details
are on our website at http://www.nag.org.uk/events/forthcoming-events/2012/06/nag-conference-2012/,
where you can download the full programme.
We have been lucky enough to secure Annie Mauger, Chief
Executive of CILIP, for our keynote speech, and after that we think that you’ll
find the following topics of particular interest -
·
Stock
management process: Stock Withdrawal and Disposal Policies: A good practice
guide |
·
The road to a
national library catalogue: are we nearly there yet? |
·
Creating
Cataloguing Efficiencies: Managing Metadata for e-Books |
·
The Hive (joint academic and public library in |
·
Ebooks in public libraries |
·
Applying procurement in a public library situation |
We also have a wide
range of suppliers, publishers and other commercial organisations signed up to
attend, providing a great opportunity to learn about new products in the
market. All this plus plenty of networking opportunities, the Gala Dinner, and
the presentation of the NAG Award for Excellence. Do join us!
There is still plenty time to sign up. We have held last
year’s prices at £325 for NAG members and £375 for non- members –
those are the prices for the full conference, but we have a number of cheaper
and more flexible options – details are on the booking form
