COLLECTION DEVELOPMENT:
SURVIVAL TACTICS IN AN AGE OF LESS
Friday, April 12, 1991
IBM Gallery of Science and Art
Madison Avenue at 56th Street
New York, New York
Automation, online public access catalogs, online subscription
agencies, and electronic vendor services are affecting virtually
every aspect of acquisitions: the types of materials acquired, how
they are acquired, processing procedures, and personnel
qualifications and duties. In a time of diminishing library
resources, administrators must often choose between acquisition and
access services. Should we continue to acquire expensive books and
journals or is access enough? What is the impact of technology on
collection development? What alternatives to acquisition are
available? Where has collaborative collection development and
resource sharing worked, and what are the problems in implementing
such programs? What is the impact of technology on collection
development? What criteria can be used for making tough choices?
The LACUNY Institute Committee has invited a distinguished group of
speakers and panelists to explore these questions, alternatives to
traditional approaches to collection development. Morning speakers
will look to the future and outline some technological solutions to
the problems facing us. Afternoon panelists will discuss
collaborative and cooperative approaches in New York and California
-- successes, problems, failures. The aim of the program is to
gather information about options that are becoming available,
survey what is being done in other parts of the country, and
establish a dialogue on implications and possibilities for LACUNY
members and their libraries.
