CMDS Collection Development Librarians of Academic Libraries
Discussion Group will meet at ALA in Toronto on Saturday, June
21, 2003, 2 pm - 4 pm (location yet to be announced).
Your Chair (Larry Heilos) and Vice-Chair (Cecile Jagodzinski) are
actively seeking individuals and groups who are willing to make a
presentation at this meeting on some aspect of academic library
collection development. Possibilities are endless. Some of the
topics suggested by the audience at our Midwinter meeting in P
hiladelphia for discussion this summer in Toronto are the following:
Training for subject bibliographers
Budget and allocation formulas (methods and comparisons, as well
as interdisciplinary issues)
Competencies for subject specialists in difficult to master
disciplines
Costing out electronic resources and services
Working in consortia
Remote storage
ALCTS-CMDS Discussion Group provides an ideal interactive forum for
the presentation and discussion of a wide range of collection
development issues. If you and/or your colleagues have recently
concluded a collection development related study or research
project, or have such a project underway and would like to present
your findings before an enthusiastic audience of collection
development practitioners, we're eager to talk to you. But your
ideas don't necessarily have to be research based. You may
have figured out a new way to get things done or scored a breakthrough
and would like to share your success with your collection
development peers. That's fine. At this point we're open to any
and all of your program suggestions.
Cecile and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.
