More than 100 presentations from the 36th annual Charleston Library
Conference (held November 1-5, 2016) are included in this annual
proceedings volume.
Major themes of the meeting included data visualization, streaming
video, analysis and assessment, demand-driven acquisition, and open
access publishing.
While the Charleston meeting remains a core one for acquisitions
librarians in dialog with publishers and vendors, the breadth of
coverage of this volume reflects the fact that this conference is now
one of the major venues for leaders in the publishing and library
communities to shape strategy and prepare for the future.
Almost 2,000 delegates attended the 2016 meeting, ranging from the staff
of small public library systems to the CEOs of major corporations. This
fully indexed, copyedited volume provides a rich source for the latest
evidence-based research and lessons from practice in a range of
information science fields. Contributors comprise leaders in the
library, publishing, and vendor communities.
