Hi Channa, I use a number of tools that have list options. I use Gobi the most (as others have mentioned) and I have folders that are by fundcode to be ordered, a shared folder that others can put titles into for me to consider, and a maybe folder for titles that need more evaluation. I also have used with success: the wishlists in library.alibris.com for out of print titles. amazon.com wishlists- I have a TON of these, which are easy to share with faculty, to make public and if there are reviews from the major sources they'll be there. I don't purchase from amazon, but I do use it to find ISBNs, latest editions, etc. I also use this for when I am working on the go- I have the app on my phone, and I can search by taking a picture of the cover. (example: I'm at an art museum and find a book that I want to purchase- I go into amazon search by picture and add to my AHIST wishlist. Then when I'm ordering titles, I open my amazon lists and add them to Gobi.) [If your lists are public be sure that you label the ones for work as "FOR WORK" I got a couple of really nice Art History books from my work wishlist for Christmas one year!] Choice Online: has lists AND you can share them with faculty and they can like or not like titles that they think are valuable for the library to purchase. RCL (Resources for College Libraries): great for identifying titles by academic subject and lists can also be shared with faculty or other librarians. WCL (WorldCat Local): I liked the lists in WCL, but since we moved to Discovery I find the lists are not nearly as good. I used the WCL lists for both wishlists and lists of titles that we already owned. Hopefully the Discovery lists will improve. Not as successful: Barnes & Nobel- I used to use their lists- but they sometimes disappear! Pinterest- was visual and fun, but too much work to add titles to. Let me know if you're interested in additional information on any of these tools. Best, Chisa E. Chisato Uyeki Reference and Collection Development Librarian Mt.

Sent by: colldv-request_at_lists.ala.org I keep a spreadsheet for all the science librarians but it is filled with journals, e-book packages, databases, journal archives, etc. Happy to share with anyone interested. It is organized to be sorted in a variety of ways. Tara Tara Tobin Cataldo, MLS Biological Sciences Librarian | Science Collections Coordinator Marston Science Library | P.O.

Hi, I use GOBI (by YBP), which has a “folders” feature that allows you to create one or more folders into which you can “file” titles found by searching the GOBI database. You can sort and filter the contents in numerous ways, and when you’re ready to order, depending on your workflow, you either move titles into a selection cart or an order cart.

A question for all of you collection development librarians out there: how do your library’s selectors maintain their personal collection development wish list of titles? Any favorite tools or web-based services? (Hopefully not just Post-its stuck to their computer monitor….) Thanks.
