ALCTS e-Forum: Thanks for Thinking of Us: Challenges and Solutions in Gifts
Management

October 25-26, 2016

Moderated by Nicole A. Casner and Sandy Lemmon

Please join us for an e-forum discussion. It’s free and open to everyone!

Registration information is at the end of the message.

Each day, discussion begins and ends at:

Pacific: 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.

Mountain: 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.

Central: 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Eastern: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.

Collection Managers and Technical Services Colleagues: Do the words “gift”
and “donation” make you want to hide in your office? Does it feel as if
you’re drowning in a sea of patron generosity? Or, perhaps your institution
implemented policies that expand the collection without anyone having to
gently refuse yet another copy of last year’s bestseller? Please join the
ALCTS e-Forum on October 25-26, 2016 as we share experiences, discuss
policy options, and explore strategies for effective gifts management.

What Is an e-Forum?

An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss matters
of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion list. The
e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register your email
address with the list, and then you will receive messages and communicate
with other participants through an email discussion. Most e-forums last two
to three days. Registration is necessary to participate, but it's free.
