Abstract
Originating as a months-long “library clean-up” project during the 2020/2021 COVID shutdown, four years later we now work in a transformed physical library space and have created a relevant, dynamic print collection while prioritizing intentional collection development for e-resources. Entirely new cross-functional systems and procedures were piloted and perfected to facilitate the expanding project.This presentation will highlight four key areas of collection development: 1. Collection assessment and curation with an eye toward relevance and ease of access 2. Policy creation and implementation, focusing on DEI initiatives, appropriate lexile levels, and academic support 3. Records management, in both clean up and acquisitions 4. Full inventory and the creation of new, specialized collections During this workshop, each panelist will share their specific area of expertise and then allow workshop attendees to explore the efficiency of their own systems and processes. We expect attendees to walk away with: 1. The experience of a robust discussion about a major, multi-year collection development case study 2. Confidence in exploring all necessary phases of collection development with their own teams 3. A realistic action plan to bring back to teams for discussion
