Description
Collaborations with other departments have become invaluable to Acquisitions work at our library. Acquisitions has worked with Subject Librarians and the Budget Specialist on several projects all of which would have been dead in the water or taken significantly longer without collaborative support. In this presentation we will highlight several projects in which partnering was central to accomplishing the project's goals. These include reviewing and updating database descriptions in the Databases A-Z list, updating the weeding procedure in the wake of a branch library closure, creating streaming video workflows from scratch and modifying them as needed, moving licenses from paper to electronic storage, and an overhaul of our entire fund structure. The Acquisitions Librarian from Technical Services, the Budget Specialist from Administration, and a Humanities Librarian from Advise and Instruct will share notes and tips from these collaborations and how working together benefitted communication lines along with the projects.
Come learn about our cross departmental collaborations and see which might be worth pursuing in your own libraries!
