To encourage collaborative collection development requires systematic planning, selecting appropriate partner, and a long-term commitment from all parties.
In this authoritative and practical guide, three leaders whose institutions have successfully collaborated for a decade, share their expertise so others can incorporate their winning strategies. They explain the theoretical principles along with real-world strategies and results from their own experiences and from other censorial projects.
For those libraries, both public and academic, interested in stretching limited budgets, Collaborative Collection Development provides the keys to:
Expanding your collection
Improving users' access
Sharing scarce resources
Overcoming barriers to partnering
Addressing economic issues
Creating a framework for success
Promoting and publicizing to attract new users.
Building from these successful collaborations, Librarians Directors, Administrators, Managers, Deans and Team Leaders will find practical planning models that include research, budgeting, promotion, and evaluation. This comprehensive guide contains all the checklists, case studies, sample agreements, and references needed to facilitate collaborative initiatives.
