The Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (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.
The starting point for this symposium is the seminal article "Collection
Directions: Some Reflections on the Future of Library Collections and
Collecting" written by Lorcan Dempsey, Constance Malpas, and Brian Lavoie
(OCLC) and freely available at
http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/research/publications/library/2014/oclcresea
rch-collection-directions-preprint-2014.pdf.
The program 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:
Big picture talk on how collections/collection development is evolving
Demand-Driven Acquisition of Monographs Journals, articles on Demand New
Forms of Content. What aren't we doing (or are just starting) that should be
part of CD?
Panel Discussion: What is the future of collection development? Where do we
go from here?
Moderated by Michael Levine-Clark
Confirmed Speakers Include: Rick Anderson, Steve Bosch, Lorcan Dempsey, Kay
Downey, Kathi Fountain, Jesse Koennecke, Michael Levine-Clark, Andrew
Meyer, Christina Mune, Steve Oberg
