CPD Event: Publisher Negotiations Roundtable




ALLA (WA) invites Librarians involved in the negotiation of law subscriptions to a Publisher Negotiations Roundtable CPD event.

Subscription renewals are coming up, so it’s time for the Librarians (No Publishers) to get together and discuss our negotiation experience.

We all complain about how difficult it is to get the publishers to limit their uplift in pricing each year, and we are all facing pressure by our organisations to reduce expenditure. This roundtable event is an open discussion opportunity to share our knowledge to  work towards getting a better deal.

A light lunch will be served.

When: 12-1pm, Tuesday 14th of February 2017
Where: Corrs Chambers Westgarth, Level 6, Brookfield Place Tower 2, 123 St Georges Terrace, Perth
Cost: Free to ALLA (WA) Members, $20 for non-members. No Publishers.
RSVP: by Friday 10 Feb to Alice Hewitt a.hewitt@ecu.edu.au . Please include relevant dietary restrictions.


Due to the format of this event spaces are limited.
