Focused Vendor Demo SessionFriday, May 5, 2006 2:00 - 3:30 p.m.Subscription Vendor Services to Libraries The topic for NASIG's third annual Focused Vendor Demo is subscription vendor services to libraries. Come and hear answers to questions such as: What subscription services are provided, and more specifically, how have services been adapted to help libraries manage electronic publications? Can services help libraries integrate electronic publications into the existing workflow? How do services accommodate the many and varied demands of electronic subscriptions? Most of us still have print subscriptions in addition to a growing list of electronic subscriptions. Subscriptions agents make our job easier in the print world by allowing us to do all of our business through one interface instead of many. In the last decade, as we have all added electronic to our print, subscription agents have added features to their systems and services to accommodate these needs. For the purposes of this vendor demo, we will see what each vendor has developed to: 1) integrate electronic into the existing workflow 2) serve the new needs of electronic subscriptions. Each vendor has approximately 15 - 20 minutes to describe their services, and there will be a Q&A component. NASIG endorses no vendor and received no compensation from the participants for this program. |
