Breakout Session Notes
Hosts: Melissa McElroy-Elve & Penelope Klein
Scribe: Erin Dorney
Introductions & why you came to this session/thoughts about best practices:
Eveyone talks about best practices but what are they really?
Consulting with member libraries and want to pass on good information to them.
Organizational changes result in realization of laxk of faculty input on collection development.
Updating collection policies in a high school library setting
No experience, want to learn!
going through reaccredidation process- there is currently no collection development plan, struggling witht he balance between electronic and print
Retention / continuing access:
arranged a policy where is a journal is in portico, cancel the pring subscription. same thing with Jstor or a full text aggregator
use jstor for archival purposes
not as much of a problem for public libraries - less of an issue, stronger reliance on interlibrary loan, not as much of a need for older issues
problem with storage & mold issues - had to get rid of a lot of pring issues
If it's unavailable in public and unavailable in academic libraries, then it's an issue of information loss, there should be a conversation between parties.
finding that undergraduate students dont want to look at print, so usage is down, hard to justify budgeting for them is they aren't being used.
current issues only out, everything else offsite in storage
regarrangement of periodicals - issue of storage & space (replacing stacks with computers)
Quality of the resource:
differences between popular and scholarly resources
Resources
"Creating a Framework of Guidance for Building Good Digital Collections" by Timothy W. Cole here.
"Rethinking Collections--Libraries and librarians in an open age: A theoretical view" by Heather Morrisonhere.
Conference to attend (in China!)
