Rethinking Reference Collections
An Infopeople online course, November 6, 2102 to December 10, 2012
Formats for reference resources are evolving and library staff and user
expectations are evolving along with them. Are you ready to rethink the
purpose and development of your library's reference collection?
Rethinking your collection enables you to suggest changes to reference
collection development that better reflect the realities of today’s
demand and usage. You’ll be able to make decisions about purchases and
policies that help build a reference collection for the future.
In this popular course, you will explore:
How reference resources are changing
Methods for measuring usage of reference resources
Weeding guidelines
Collection decisions that meet staff and user needs
Ways to promote use of reference materials
Fee: $75 for those in the California library community and Infopeople
Partners, $150 for all others.
