Presented by the Association for Library Collections & Technical
Services and the Collection Management and Development Section
March 25-27, 1999
Kellogg West Conference Center
Pomona, California
This institute will provide a basic overview of the major issues in
the planning, development, and management of library collections in a
radically changing and challenging environment. It will provide
up-to-date and practical training that meets user needs and maximizes
financial and human resources. In addition to treating traditional
collection development concerns, special attention will be directed to
equipping collection development librarians to work with information
in electronic formats and resource-sharing environments.
Audience
This is a basic institute, designed to meet the needs of librarians
confronted with collection management/development or related issues.
However, the institute is designed for all practicing librarians, at
various stages in their careers, who deal with collection management
issues on a regular basis. The issues treated will be useful for
librarians in a variety of settings. Experienced practitioners will
especially benefit from the focus on recent trends and challenges.
From This Institute, You Can Expect To:
* Learn new ways of approaching collection development and management
functions in a variety of library environments.
* Gain insight into trends and challenges in collection development
and management for the future.
* Understand the impact of technology on the process of scholarly
communication, including standardization, compatibility, licensing,
copyright, and preservation issues.
* Learn about scholarly supply and demand economics from the
perspective of the librarian and the publisher, to discover how to
make the best decisions with eroding dollars.
* Appreciate the substantial collection building potential of library
development efforts.
* Hear about successful strategies for a library development program,
including how to identify and cultivate prospects, provide them with a
choice of gift opportunities related to their interests, and recognize
their contributions.
* Discover the motivations and impediments influencing cooperative
collection development ventures and partnerships among libraries and
library systems.
* Examine successful national, statewide, and multitype cooperatives,
including how the agreement is written and administered.
* Find out how vendors, aggregators, and agents are forging new
relationships with libraries and library consortia.
* Review with other collection development professionals a range of
current issues in a roundtable setting: the allocation of materials
budgets, development of subject expertise and core competencies,
advice on making rational weeding and storage decisions, and the
construction of subject-specific home pages.
* Explore the relationship and growing interdependence between
collection development and other library units.
* Consider how to determine and respond to user needs and interests
through analysis of statistical and demographic data.
Format
The institute includes seven plenary sessions, each with time for
questions and discussion. There are two pairs of concurrent sessions
to allow small group exploration of key topics. The campus setting at
Kellogg West Conference Center allows for ample networking
opportunities.
