From:
Lauren Young <fyi.jmla_at_gmail.com>
The Journal of the Medical Library Association is pleased to announce
the publication of v.102(2), April 2014. The issue contains the
following article that we believe might be relevant and of interest to
members of the COLLDV-L listserv:
*What criteria do consumer health librarians use to develop library
collections? a phenomenological study
<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3988777/>*
Janet Papadakos, Aileen Trang, David Wiljer, Chiara Cipolat Mis, Alaina
Cyr, Audrey Jusko Friedman, Mauro Mazzocut, Michelle Snow, Valeria
Raivich, Pamela Catton
"The purpose of a phenomenological study is to generate descriptive data
that answer a specific research question. These data can then be used to
further prospective investigation of the phenomenon. [cite] Findings
from this study present preliminary insight into (1) what the collection
development process is for consumer health libraries and (2) how
collection development policies are implemented in that process."
