Over one hundred presentations from the 35th annual Charleston Library
Conference (held November 4-7, 2015) are included in this annual
proceedings volume. Major themes of the meeting included streaming
video, analysis and assessment, demand-driven acquisition, the future of
university presses, 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 1,800 delegates attended the 2015 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. The contributors are
leaders in the library, publishing, and vendor communities.
