Collection Development in Academic Libraries: What Does the Future Hold?
Venue 1: Bar Convent, York on June 9th
Venue 2: CILIP HQ, London on November 12th
Theme
The seminar will aim to look at the question of Collection Development in
academic libraries, consider what factors are likely to affect how
collections develop, and decide how collections are likely to respond to
these stimuli and change over the course of next few years.
Content and Influences
* the shift from print- to e-resources
* to what extent will this continue and develop in academic libraries?
(is a total e-library likely in the next 10 years?)
* what is the developing attitude within the publishing industry to
e-material especially as regards the e-textbook
* the print collection and the space issue
* the declining usage of print material
* how can we justify the space occupied by journals back issues and
print books in the light of the growing demand from users for more learning
and social interaction space
* the collection and 'new' undergraduate
* how must the concept of collection change to meet the needs of the
'digital native'?
* the development of patron driven acquisitions
* the collection and the researcher
* statistics show declining levels of library usage by academics and
researchers -how does the collection need to change to reverse this trend?
* the possibilities of digitisation
* the effect of financial stringency and budget cuts on collection
development
* the case for continuing with the traditional print collection
