What Is Keeping You Up At Night? A Discussion of Current Hot Topics in Collection Development
Abstract
In this interactive lunch discussion, participants discussed the top issues in collection development that kept them up at night. Unlike the collection development issues included in the ARL “Issue Brief: 21st-Century Collections,” released in May 2012, these participants talked about very local and immediate issues as compared to the strategic issues listed in the ARL document. The collection development issues that were discussed can be grouped into several broad categories: budget, discovery tools, collection management, and media collections.
