Collection Development Librarians of Academic Libraries
Discussion Group
The Collection Development Librarians of Academic Libraries Discussion
Group will meet at Midwinter on Saturday, Jan. 10 from 2-4 pm in the
Solana Room of the San Diego Marriott. The discussion topic will be
collection management writ large-from selecting and licensing
electronic resources, to working cooperatively with faculty, students,
vendors, and other libraries. The presenters will describe their
experiences in these areas, and offer the audience the opportunity to
comment, to provide feedback, and to discuss ways we can improve both
our local and our collective efforts to build collections that best
suit our users' needs. There will also be an election for the
Vice-Chair/Chair Elect of the Discussion Group.

WIN/WIN: GETTING THE DEAL YOU BOTH WANT!
Even in this time of intense need and desire for access to electronic
information, getting a consortial purchase completed while meeting the
needs of libraries and publishers is a challenge. This presentation
will describe the recent consortial arrangement between EPSCor/ESIG
libraries and Marcel Dekker, Inc. We will discuss the process from
both sides of the fence and provide some insights into a successful
library/publisher relationship.

Lisa Bowman

Peggy Cooper

Miriam Gilbert

LEAVING LAS VEGAS: SERIALS CANCELLATIONS AT THE UNLV LIBRARIES
Faced with escalating subscription costs and a mid-year budget cut,
the UNLV Libraries were forced to conduct a serials cancellation
project in the spring of 2003, the third serials cancellation in 5
years. This presentation will describe the 2003 Serials Assessment
Project at the UNLV Libraries, highlighting elements designed to
maximize faculty and
student participation. Using the library's web site and Excel files
that enabled users to easily rank journals, combined with excellent
communication and marketing efforts by UNLV's subject librarians
turned a difficult collection development situation into a positive
experience.

MAKING COLLECTIONS DECISIONS: HOW CAN WE GET THE INFORMATION WE NEED?
From e-resource management to serials cancellation to off-site
shelving to the daily selection routine, collection managers find
themselves working with limited data. Many libraries are gathering
"extra" data, particularly for e-resource and serial cancellation
decisions. ILS vendors are working on some solutions but seem
generally to be as behind as libraries are in developing the tools
they need to do the work. Approval vendors are providing additional
functionality for routine work but once libraries have it some of that
added functionality is stripped from the record. The only solutions
seem to be some kind of cooperative work (for example the Web Hub) but
cooperative work has challenges. This presentation offers a number of
examples of efforts to gather information, proposes a mapping
alternative, and asks for feedback.
