CODES Hot Topics Discussion Group

Saturday - January 21, 2012
10:30 to noon
Location:  DCC A302

The CODES Hot Topics Discussion Group is focusing on collection 
assessment.  While assessing library services and resources has been an 
important concern for many years,  current economic realities and 
serious interest in "return on investment" have brought it to the 
forefront in all kind of libraries.  Participants will exchange 
information on how their institutions are implementing collection 
assessment activities, the methodologies they are using, and the 
outcomes that result.  What works and what does not work?  How does 
assessment affect collection development decisions, budgeting, and 
cooperative arrangements with other libraries?

Please join us for a lively and thought-provoking discussion on this 
very hot collection development topic.  All conference registrants are 
welcome to come.
