2 Ogburn, Joyce L.Acquiring minds want to know: CAUSEThis year I went to CAUSE in Orlando FL, December 3-5, for the first time to see how it differed from EDUCOM (at the CAUSE meeting the two organizations voted to merge next year).

6 Ogburn, Joyce L.Acquiring minds want to know: the future of technical servicesRecently I was asked to speak on the topic of the future of technical services departments.

So I approached the topic with great hope, and thi...Technical services; Libraries; Future1996
7 Anderson, Richard BryanAcquisitions in a wired world: where are we going?This is a frightening time to be a thirty-something acquisitions librarian. Convention dictates that I follow up that statement by saying that this is also a very exciting time to be a thirty-something acquisitions librarian, but I'll tell you what: it's mainly just scary. I worry a lot about wha...Libraries; Acquisitions; Librarians; Future; Electronic libraries2001

11 Anderson, Richard BryanBiz of Acq--To license or not to license: that really ought to be the questionOf the many changes that the electronic information revolution has brought to library acquisitions, perhaps none is as significant as the licensing agreement.

13 Landesman, Margaret M.Collection development: in response to issues raised at the Janus Conference, Cornell, October 2005I left the library the other evening to dig my car out of the snow and join the line headed into the mist. It's the darkest time of the year. Do they know where they're going? Do I want to go there too? A first real snow is a wonderful sort of thing. It is cold and I don't like cold. But it is also ...Libraries; Collection Development, strategy and planning; Janus Conference2006-01-03

15 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion) -- The book is dead and it's a good thing, tooAs a group, we librarians are certainly not unique in our ability to deny the obvious. But sometimes I think that we take that ability to a unique extreme. It is obvious, for example, that as a research tool for all but a very few academic disciplines, the print monograph is dead.Librarian; Academic; Libraries2002
16 Anderson, Richard BryanIMHBCO (In my humble but correct opinion): three kinds of research and two kinds of researcherOur libraries should be places (virtual and physical) where as little searching as possible has to take place. Making libraries easier to use doesn't undermine intellectual development -- on the contrary, it makes more intellectual development possible because it lets our patrons spend more time...Researchers; Libraries; Information2005

19 Landesman, Margaret M.Multi-volume reference sets-have they a futureFor the past few years, I've felt badly about the sales representatives from major microform publishers who come to visit hoping to sell microform collections to the library.
