Government Documents for the Masses: Collection Development for the Public Library

Tom Fischlschweiger will present an overview of the basics of a collection development policy and use his library’s collection (its history, current state, and factors that have influenced its development) as an illustration. He will also provide a few tips on searching for items to select and tools to use such as the Item Lister, the CGP, and DDM.  Karen Heil will present tips on how to develop strategies that reflect your collection development policy using specific examples from a small city library. This is a beginner’s guide on how to meet the needs of your community - where to start, how to decide, and where to find things.
