Are you challenged by a new collection development assignment? Or
are you
responsible for training new librarians in collection development?
Librarians are increasingly thrust into new roles as selectors in
unfamiliar
disciplines or liaisons to unrelated academic departments and
community
groups, yet we often assume these roles with little to no
training and/or
subject background. This program explores the changing environment of
collection development and offers strategies for preparing for new
challenges.
Speakers:
