The plan we came up with yesterday was to look at the 6 goals below, and to try to come up with changes to our Acquisitions/ CD procedures with faculty to move towards reaching these goals. We hope to implement at least some improvements by the Fall term. The first step is to brainstorm ideas. So, please add a separate comment for each idea you have. If 2 ideas are closely linked, you can put them in the same comment.
Goals :
1. To ensure that the books being ordered are ones highly likely to be useful for our students and faculty, and that we are not missing key titles that they need.
2. To alter the process to make it less inconvenient and more efficient for Faculty, Liaisons, and acquisitions staff
3. To alleviate the high percentage of rush orders
4. To receive titles more closely in time to when they were published - and more evenly throughout the year
5. To improve the level of awareness in both faculty and librarians of what titles have been added to the collection that might be in their areas of interest
6. To develop and deploy a process in such a way that it is more intellectually engaging to the faculty, so that the relevance of the process and its outcomes to their teaching and mission is clearly evident.
