CHICAGO --- The Association for Library Collections and Technical
Services (ALCTS <http://www.ala.org/alcts>) presents "Collection
Development Strategies in an Evolving Marketplace: an ALCTS Midwinter
Symposium," a presentation of the ALCTS President's Program Committee
and organized by Michael Levine-Clark. Join your colleagues from 8:30
a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, January 30, 2015 at the American Library
Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Chicago.
This symposium explores strategies for selecting, acquiring and
budgeting for new materials such as streaming media, unbundled content,
and institutional open access models. Presenters address front line
issues such as how to maximize resources to support user needs, how to
manage unknown elements of these new models and how to market and build
the library's profile. The speakers will explore long term effects on
our collections and how traditional collection development may be changing.
Attendees will come away from this symposium with a greater
understanding of how to implement new content and acquisition programs
in their own libraries from these presentations:
A presentation based on the article "Collection Directions: The
Evolution of Library Collections and Collecting." (/portal: Libraries
and the Academy/ 14, no. 3 (2014): 393-423)
