Ask the Experts | Ask a Librarian about Collections Development in an Open World
Tuesday, January 24, 2023
11:00 am–12:00 pm EDT
Much time has been spent talking about access to content, but how does our new "open" world affect whose voices are heard? How does it affect library workflows? In this "Ask the Experts" event, a panel of librarians will discuss open access as it relates to their acquisition strategies and financial responsibilities. Join us—and bring your questions—to learn how collections development is changing and how that may affect who gets published and how.
