ALCTS/CMDS Collection Development in Academic Libraries Discussion
Group
Saturday June 27, 2:00 - 4:00, CHIL-Congressional
Topic: Bias in Academic Library Collections
Are institutional and market forces conspiring to impoverish academic
library collections? Are the explosion of serial prices, the shift of
monies to electronic resources and our dependance on approval plans
exacerbating a move in the direction of less diverse and more
mainstream collections? Are we acting as gatekeepers, participating in
larger institutional patterns of exclusion? If so, what can we do to
make available more heterogeneous materials? What kinds of strategies
might help to counter a narrowing and homogenization of academic
library collections?
Panelists: Byron Anderson, Mev Miller and Milton Wolf
Thanks.
We hope to see you there.
