WHAT WILL COLLECTION DEVELOPERS DO

Abstract

What would collection developers do in the absence of local collections? Collection developers partition the universe of documents, privileging selected documents for acquisition and retention. Their selections of documents, based on expected demand and perceived value, direct the actions of technical services staff. A comparable selective privileging of documents, based on demand and value, and a similar direction of a reoriented technical services activity appears needed with networked electronic resources. Collection developers will be needed for value-based privileging more than for demand-based decisions.
