The ALCTS-CMDS Collection Assessment Committee would like to invite you to our annual program entitled “Collection Evaluation During the Economic Crisis: Case Studies in Academia.” Academic libraries are facing difficult economic times and many libraries are experiencing budget cuts. This program provides three current examples of cancellation projects at academic libraries. The program will address topics such as:

· Budget management

· Project organization

· Evaluation and Assessment of library resources

· Future budgetary concerns

We have three wonderful speakers who have recently completed assessment projects:

Chuck Eckman University of California, Berkeley
Gerri Foudy University of Maryland
David Fowler University of Oregon

Hope to see you there!!
