Subject: ACQNET: RE - Opening day collection for a Community College branch

Hi -

Someone forwarded your query to me.  I know that some of the book jobbers 
offer opening day collections as a service.  Take a look at Baker and 
Taylor's Web site for example.  That might be the easiest way to go.

Subject: Suggestions on selecting an opening day collection for a
branch community college library?

From:  Sue Adler, Modesto Junior College Library

Modesto Junior College will be opening a small branch library on our west
campus in about a year.  We'll have about $10,000 to spend on books for 
the opening day collection.  I'm a new collection development librarian. 
Does anyone have suggestions on how to go about selecting an opening day
collection?   I'd appreciate any ideas.

Thanks!
