Chicago, IL (PRWEB) January 28, 2015 -- How can libraries get value for money (VFM) in the the goods and services they acquire and provide?

If/when/how will patterns of library investments —particularly those of public libraries — be impacted by e-reading, demand-driven acquisitions, and other ILS-related systems and services yet to emerge — like Customer Relations Management (CRM) and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)?

When will Library User Experiences be as simple, quick, and fulfilling as Amazon and Google?

When will the marketplace offer libraries what’s needed to improve and measure their ROI on content and people and the enabling technologies?

RMG once again announces a roundup of key ILS, Discovery, and Content vendors from the global library industry to discuss the promise and problems of libraries' adapting and leveraging new paradigms to improve ROI in content, technology, and HR.

Leading library industry companies/executives invited to participate in RMG's 2015 Seminar include:

The RMG Seminar is open to everyone -- registration not required.
