**apologies for cross posting** Dear all, Less than a month to go to NAG's next Collection Development Seminar and this time we're coming to Manchester on 20th November. The NAG Seminars are always popular, attracting around 100 acquisitions librarians from academic and special libraries to discuss current trends and developments. This time the theme is *Disruption and Innovation are the New Normal *with speakers from around the country. Our papers include: - Rebecca Gower and Jayne Kelly (Cambridge University): *Is it for teaching, for research, or both?: collaboration on eBooks in Cambridge.* - Olivia Walsby (University of Manchester): *Reading List Service overhaul at The University of Manchester Library; Are we nearly there yet…?* - Natalia Gordon (Leeds Beckett): *Behind the scenes of an implementation: Fear the change but create the workflow anyways* - Sheila Candeland (Manchester Metropolitan University): *‘This is Manchester, we do things differently here’: the story of a collaborative model to support reading for pleasure* - J. Mackenzie (Leeds Beckett): *Breaking the perception of digital literacy, the contemporary conceptualisation of information technology.’ Addressing information and communications technology knowledge in HE students and staff.* - Chris Harrison (Cambridge University Press): * Disruption and innovation in the publishing landscape: challenging the binary divide * The panel session will focus on “*Jumping Onboard: Getting spend in the framework” *with Andrew Knight (Roehampton), Gavin Phillips (Imperial) and Anthony Sinnott (York) discussing ways to reduce spend with online retailers outside of the Joint Consortia Book Agreement Framework. As usual, we will be using Glisser to share slides and encourage questions from the floor so bring along your device and use the free WiFi to enjoy the added functionality of being able to take notes, screenshot and tweet from within the Glisser site with no apps to download beforehand. NAG members benefit from the reduced price of £160 +VAT, non-members price is £210 +VAT. We can now offer online booking including credit card payments via the event page on our website: https://nag.org.uk/event/nagcd11-collection-development-seminar-for-academic-libraries/ Our prices are kept low thanks to our sponsors so a huge thank you to: Adam Matthews Digital, Browns Books for Students, ProQuest, BDS, AnyBook Biz, OCLC, Kanopy and Bristol University's Policy Press. If you can't make it to Manchester, be sure to save the date for #NAGcd12 on 15th May 2020 in London!
