Hi everyone,
I'd like to change our collection development policy away from a Conspectus-based model and toward something that is easier to update and use, perhaps similar to what Helen N. Levenson describes in her article "Nimble Collection Development Policies: An Achievable Goal" (Library Resources & Technical Services, October 2019). In addition to moving away from a Conspectus model, I'm planning to make some major revisions to how it's written.
If you/your library has done something similar, I'd love to know how the change has worked out for your library since adopting the new policy. For example: Is there something you might do differently in hindsight? Is it working smoothly? Is it actually easier to use and update? What would you say to someone who might be anxious about such a change?
Thanks!
