      Description

This is a *Basics* workshop that will introduce participants to the 
responsibilities that make up collection development and management. 
Effective collection development and management is a collaborative 
process, therefore the workshop will combine interactive presentations 
with group activities.

Topics to be addressed include:

--Understanding collection development and management as a practice and 
an art
--Policy, planning, and fiscal management
--Selection: tools, techniques, criteria, and the selector's knowledge base
--Managing collections: decisions about withdrawals, transfers, journal 
cancellation, preservation
--Marketing, outreach, community assessment, and liaison activities
--Collection assessment and evaluation
--Cooperative collection development and management

The impact of automation and electronic content on the practice of 
collection development will be woven through the workshop.


      Meal

Continental Breakfast will be served both days. Lunch is on your own. A 
list of area restaurants will be provided.
