A Sentimental Education:  Training Collection Development Librarians

The CODES Hot Topics Discussion Group (formerly the Dual Assignments Discussion Group) 
will focus on how collection development librarians are trained to select resources, 
effectively and economically, that best meet user needs.  Our efforts are complicated by 
increasing emphasis on electronic resources, increasing availability of online and print 
publications, and decreasing materials budgets.  Are selectors getting the training they 
need?  If not, what should be changed?

Please join us for an interesting and lively discussion as we talk about this provocative 
topic. All registered attendees are welcome.
