> Interest Group at ALA:
>
>     Saturday, July 11 from 1:30-3:00pm
>     Palmer House, Adams Ballroom
>
> Discussion Topic is:  "Patron Initiated Collection Development in 
> Academic Libraries: Sharing Local Experiences & Implications for Change"
>
> The format will be a bit different for logistical reasons, but will 
> strongly encourage and promote discussion.  Three librarians from 
> different kinds of institutions have been invited to share their 
> institution's planning and experiences with the topic and an open 
> discussion will follow with opportunities for questions and exchange.  
> Notes will be captured and distributed post-meeting.  Vendors, 
> publishers, providers and all others are invited to attend. Please 
> come learn and share information.
>
> This is a hot topic this year and even though there has been much 
> about it in the professional literature and on
> current blogs and at other meetings, there still appears to be a lot 
> to learn.  Likely topics to be covered include:  budgetary concerns & 
> fiscal planning; role of usage statistics in determining provision of 
> content; ownership or subscription models; rolling patron plans; what 
> happens as collection ages; patron initiated vs traditional collection 
> development: what is the mix of subject breadth; impact on approval 
> plans or is this a new version of approval plan?; the 
> collection/acquisitions playground; articulating to vendors new 
> practices & institutional needs; applications across formats; any 
> other related topics & issues.
