CHICAGO — The Association for Library Collections and Technical
Services (ALCTS) presents “Collection Development Strategies in an
Evolving Marketplace: an ALCTS Midwinter Symposium,” a presentation
of the ALCTS President’s Program Committee and organized by Michael
Levine-Clark. Join your colleagues from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on
Friday, January 30, 2015 at the American Library Association (ALA)
Midwinter Meeting in Chicago.
This symposium explores strategies for selecting, acquiring and
budgeting for new materials such as streaming media, unbundled
content, and institutional open access models. Presenters address
front line issues such as how to maximize resources to support user
needs, how to manage unknown elements of these new models and how to
market and build the library’s profile. The speakers will explore
long term effects on our collections and how traditional collection
development may be changing.
Attendees will come away from this symposium with a greater
understanding of how to implement new content and acquisition
programs in their own libraries from these presentations:
A presentation based on the article "Collection Directions: The
Evolution of Library Collections and Collecting." (portal: Libraries
and the Academy 14, no. 3 (2014): 393-423)
