UkeiG Course:

Virtual Rules OK? Developing a Policy for the Digital Collection

to be held at

The John Rylands University Library, University of Manchester
Wednesday, 28th March, 2007, 9.30 - 16.30

Course outline
One of the greatest responsibilities librarians have is that of developing 
and managing a pertinent and dynamic collection - indeed, it may be one of 
the fundamental arts of the librarian. Collection management comprises a 
series of complex activities and procedures which now encompass the virtual 
collection as well as the physical collection. These activities include 
selection, evaluation, acquisition, collection evaluation and review, 
preservation and promotion. 

If such activities are to be undertaken in a coherent and consistent 
fashion, one of the requirements is that the librarian establishes and 
administers a pragmatic written collection development policy (CDP). In 
North American and Australasia, libraries have, for several decades, been 
creating and using such policy statements. Increasingly, the CDP has been 
developed to cover the range of issues surrounding e-resource provision, 
and there is debate as to whether these issues should be encapsulated 
within a general CDP or dealt with in a separate document. Within the UK, 
the development of CDPs has been slower, although the advent of the digital 
library has given considerable impetus to the creation of policy documents.

The overarching aim of the workshop is to enable you to formulate or 
revaluate and implement a CDP for e-resources for your library. By the end 
of the workshop you should:

* Understand the nature and content of a CDP 
* Be aware of the policy issues surrounding e-resources
* Appreciate the value and uses of a CDP
* Understand the issues surrounding the implementation and administration 
of the policy
* Know how to promote the policy within your institution or authority

The workshop will involve practical work. In addition to talks and 
demonstrations from the workshop leaders, you will be undertaking small 
group exercises of different kinds. 

If your library already has a CDP, then you are encouraged to bring a copy 
to the workshop.
