> *DIFFICULT TIMES, DIFFICULT DECISIONS: BUDGET REDUCTIONS AND
> COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT*
>
> The CODES/RSS Dual Assignments Discussion Group will focus on how
> selectors respond to budget cuts. How are collection development
> decisions affected? Are libraries cutting back across the board or
> selectively reducing purchases in specific subject areas, reference
> materials, print periodical subscriptions, media, or electronic
> resources? Is user-driven collection development increasing or
> decreasing? Are librarians spending more or less time on selection?
> How are budget issues impacting consortial agreements? How do budget
> limitations affect collections in the long term?
>
> Please join us for an interesting and lively discussion as we talk
> about these challenging and provocative topics. All registered
> attendees are welcome.
