The School of Library & Information Studies at the University of
Wisconsin-Madison will again offer its popular interactive continuing
education course via the Internet on Virtual Collection Development. In
this online course for all types of libraries, we'll cover how to select
and evaluate free and licensed electronic resources and look at the
evolving responsibilities of a collection development librarian. We'll
examine collection development policies for electronic resources, licensing
agreements, selection tools, and delivering electronic resources to
patrons. The next session of the course will be offered February 12 - March
31, 2001. The fee is US$299. For more information about the course format,
