New England Collection Management Institute

New England Collection Management and Development Institute
Wellesley, MA
July 27-29, 1995

Objective:  To provide an overview of the major issues in the
planning, development, and management of library collections in a
radically changing and challenging environment; to provide
up-to-date and practical training which meets user needs and
maximizes financial and human resources.  In addition to treating
traditional collection development concerns, special attention will
be directed to equipping collection development librarians to work
with information in electronic formats and resource sharing
environments.

Methods:  Papers, panel discussions and issue sessions will be among
the variety of instructional techniques employed. Meals, breaks and
social events will provide additional opportunities for participants
to meet and talk with others and will encourage discussion of
collections issues throughout the institute.

Audience:  The institute is designed for all practicing librarians,
at various stages in their careers, who deal with collection
management issues on a regular basis.  The issues treated will be
useful for librarians in variety of settings.

Sponsors:  Some events at this institute are generously underwritten
by EBSCO Subscription Services and Yankee Book Peddler.
