Hi Sarah, all,
What a great idea. I wish I could be there for this event, but I can't,
so I thought I'd pass along in advance of it something I became aware of
earlier this year in case you might find it useful as you engage in
acquisition strategy discussions.
Many of you may already know of LAC's published Evaluation and
Acquisition Policy Framework
<http://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/about-us/policy/Pages/evaluation-acquisition-policy-framework.aspx>,
approved in 2012. That document is currently under review and revision,
and LAC is working on a further document called "Documenting Canadian
Society Library and Archives Canada’s Acquisition Orientation,
2015-2020." Their revised framework and orientation will be shared with
the community once they are completed and approved, quite possibly later
this year.
Here's hoping the Institutional Issues Forum is wildly successful! I
look forward to hearing what transpires.
Cheers,
Kathryn
