Report of the ALCTS CMS Collection Evaluation and Assessment Interest Group Meeting. American Library Association Midwinter Meeting, Atlanta, January 2017

摘要

The ALCTS CMS Collection Evaluation and Assessment Interest Group Midwinter Meeting included two presentations about collection management projects. In the first presentation, Peter Rolla, Program Director for Content Acquisitions and Resource Sharing at the University of California San Diego Library, discussed strategies for managing eBook expenditures in the collections budget. In the second presentation, Beth Bernhardt, Assistant Dean for Collection Management and Scholarly Communications at the University of North Carolina Greensboro, described various strategies for reducing the footprint of the physical collection. Both speakers provided an overview of a project at their institutions and responded to questions from the audience following the presentations. Audience members also offered some advice based on their own experiences which made it a very interactive discussion.
