Introduction to the course What is collection development? Go over class project

Is it possible to plan for collection development? If yes, how? Who is a library's clientele (primary, secondary, etc.)? How do we assess their need for resources? Who should have responsibility for collection development and management? Should libraries/information centers use centralized or decentralized selection plans? What is the "proper" size for a collection? Does collecting differ according to the structure of the literature of disciplines? How can bibliometric analysis assist in collection management? Quality vs. demand issues Is there a body of research that can help solve particular problems? What is the influence of international, national, and local standards?

Definitions and parameters of collection development and management Analysis of primary goals and objectives and environmental context of libraries information centers, with emphasis on relationship to collection management Identification and analysis of primary issues including: Ownership vs. access issues Impact of technology and networking

Who should develop the policy in a public library? In a school library? Academic library? Special Library? What are the essential parts of a collection development policy? Can you suggest additional content that has not appeared in the policies you have examined? How is a "national collection development policy" being developed by U.S. Libraries? What have been the effects of the Conspectus approach?

Many central issues related to collection development apply to all types of libraries. One such central issue is "What are the objectives of the library?" Identify other central issues of concern in collection development. The idea of a "core collection" is an important concept in collection development, yet "core collection" has no single definition or focus. How has this concept been defined? How can the core concept be applied in the selection of print and electronic resources? What are the drawbacks of using core lists? What models for selection can be used by college libraries? What are the benefits and drawbacks of the various approaches? How does collection development and management for a university "undergraduate library" differ from that in a liberal arts college? What are research libraries? What is research? How do the objectives of research libraries differ from those of college libraries? What are the central issues related to collection development in research libraries? In planning for resource sharing/networking/cooperation, what are the major considerations? How has the Conspectus approach affected resource sharing? Scholarly communication is being transformed by electronic access. How is this happening? How does collection development differ in university and special libraries? How has electronic resources impacted collection management in research libraries

It has been said that planning for collection development and management in public libraries is more difficult, more uncertain, than planning in other types of libraries. Do you agree? Why? What are the problems related to developing objectives for public libraries? Currently, how are they being resolved? The issue of demand vs. quality (Bob and Rawlinson articles) is an ongoing concern in public libraries. What is your position on this issue? Why specifically is community analysis important for public libraries? What methods can be used for community analysis? What type of information would you want? How do objectives of school libraries affect collection development and management? Are these objectives significantly different from those of other types of libraries? In planning for collection development and management, what are the major responsibilities of school media specialists? What skills, knowledge, and educational background do school media specialists need as preparation for collection development and management? What effects will a critical thinking curriculum have on collection development in school media centers?
