NEW SELECTORS AND SELECTING IN NEW SUBJECTS: MEETING THE CHALLENGES. A REPORT OF THE ALCTS COLLECTION MAN-AGEMENT AND DEVELOPMENT SECTION, EDUCATION COMMITTEE PROGRAM, AMERICAN LIBRARIES ASSOCIATION ANNUAL CONFER-ENCE, CHICAGO, JULY 2009

摘要

The environment of collection development is changing rapidly as online resources and publisher packages become pervasive. As panel moderator Harriet Lighteman, Northwestern University, noted new selectors need to learn both traditional collection development skills and new skills to ensure library collections remain relevant in a rapidly changing information universe. This program, co-sponsored by RUSA CODES and PLA, examined the changing environment of collection development, resources for training new selectors or refreshing skills, and proposed new visions for collection development work.
