Summary of the Session:
Changing Collection Development Models: Staffing, Structure, and Sustainability
Collection Development in Academic Libraries continues to undergo considerable change as fluctuations in budgets, changing information delivery formats, evolving business models, and shifting library priorities alter the collection development landscape. In some libraries, the organizational and operational structure of collection development itself has changed - sometimes characterized by a reduction in the number of librarians participating in collection development as staff are redirected to other responsibilities and specialties.
Our panel will discuss recent changes in collection development staffing and processes, focusing on the new structure and whether these changes worked out, for the better, or for the worse? Panelists will also reflect on possible future methods and structure for collection development in academic libraries.
