In this new workshop Moyer and Coulon will discuss how your library can build a modern collection for a modern audience, with a close look at how physical and digital collections can complement each other. They will examine the state of collections and suggest strategies to keep your collection current even on a tight budget. Topics will include * Tools and resources for assessing the quality of your current collection * Understanding the value of maintaining a dynamic, current music collection, with tips for doing it on a tight budget * How to use your music collection to market the library as a whole Matthew Moyer is Reference Librarian in the Popular Media Department and Andrew Coulon is Integrated Library Services Librarian at Jacksonville Public Library in Florida. Innovators in developing public library music collections, they built a local music collection and corresponding website for the library, helping develop a process of "musical readers advisory" using librarian-generated playlists and music suggestions for patrons.
