Saving a Sinking Ship: Managing a Skeleton Crew in Acquisitions
Over the last five years, Clemson Libraries' Acquisitions department has had three separate leaders who managed a continually changing and depleted staff. During those years, at least ten positions were modified or vacated. Individuals departed due to retirement, illness, finding new positions at other organizations, or by adopting new roles or titles within Clemson Libraries following a reorganization. Through a mix of creative solutions and careful planning, our department continues to function at a high level.

Moderator: Chris Morris, Clemson University
