CALL/ACBD Webinar - Preservation, Discovery, and Accessibility: A Toolkit

The next CALL/ACBD webinar will focus on Preservation, Discovery, and Accessibility.

During the 2021 Annual NELLCO Symposium, the Collection Development and Acquisitions Interest group chairs appointed a small working group to draft a document highlighting three specific areas of concern about electronic resources, particularly as publishers and libraries increasingly transition from print to electronic format.  The group developed a toolkit, Preservation, Discovery, and Accessibility (PDA).  This toolkit, designed to assist librarians during vendor negotiations, raises awareness of our problems in the electronic era. 

The program will explore each of the three elements highlighted in the document and provide an opportunity for participants to share their experiences and concerns regarding preservation, discovery, and accessibility.
