In just a few short days, I will be making a much anticipated trip to Las Vegas for ALA Annual 2014. This will be my first visit to Las Vegas, and I’ve packed as much into the three-day visit as I possibly could. But this article isn’t meant to be about my plans as a tourist. Instead, I’d like to share the discussion topics and initiatives that will occupy the bulk of my time while in Vegas. It will definitely be a busy three days filled to the brim with meetings and events, but I’ll make sure to leave a little time to walk around and see some of Vegas while I am there!
那么究竟是什么将我在拉斯维加斯做什么？嗯，我收购的头馆藏建设中佛罗里达大学，目前正与ALA两个ALCTS委员会服务活动。上周五我踢东西了与EBL会议，讨论由出版商最近的趋势加大对短期贷款的费用。在UCF，我们已经保持了较大的打印批准的计划，仍然有相当大的公司才能操作。我们使用DDA作为一种补充我们现有的专着选择和低利率STL做出选择对我们很有吸引力。我们当然关注已经提高了利率和这些尺寸的增加出版商的数量。
我也期待着我在周五安排与YBP会议。我们将要讨论有关我们的合作伙伴不断增加几个主题。我们使用YBP我们的打印批准和确认订单，以及电子书的选择，包括通过EBL的DDA程序。这使得GOBI一站式服务为我们的选择，并帮助我们管理标题选择对所有基于批准计划配置文件中设置参数印刷和电子专着。我期待着加盖周五通过加入鼠尾草出版物图书馆咨询委员会的其他成员共进晚餐，讨论。我一直喜欢图书馆咨询委员会的活动，因为它给每个人一个机会，谈各种问题，并相互188金宝搏北京赛车学习。
Just like it will be for many of you , my Saturday and Sunday are filled with presentations and meetings. I’m happy to serve on the Policy and Planning Committee for the Acquisitions Section in ALCTS. I will also attend the meeting of the ALCTS Budget and Finance Committee. Though my appointment does not officially begin until the end of the conference I am going to join the meeting to get a head start and learn about what this group does. I’m also looking forward to leading a discussion group at the combined meeting of ALCTS and ACRL on Saturday morning. The topic is issues facing new technical services librarians. I look forward to learning from those librarians who will join in on this discussion.
ALA不只是会议。我看重极大的机会，网络和赶上来自全国各地的同事。我喜欢与图书馆，出版商和销售商小时后花费的时间。来自私营部门的同事总是充满新意，因为他们看到的问题是如何在他们参观许多图书馆解决的制高点。我会加入一些午餐，晚餐和事件与亚历山大街出版社，图书＆媒体大使，SAGE出版，EBS188金宝搏北京赛车CO和大风。金宝搏彩票而随着大风图书馆咨询委员会我的会员我特别期待我金宝搏彩票的ALA，早餐，并与其他董事会成员谁能够在ALA加入我们聚会的最终聚集。这是一个新的董事会，我们只见过一次。此前，我们曾在大风的家庭办公为期两天的会议，我发现该事件非常有益的。金宝搏彩票
ALA是我参加全年最繁忙的会议，而且经常感觉就像我填补了一天的每一个小时。不过，这是它提供了网络和学习很多新的举措的绝佳机会一个激动人心的时刻。我鼓励馆员要积极参与行业和想办法回馈社会。然而，他们可以。这样做的一个非常重要的途径是通过积极的ALA服务。
Now on to Vegas!
