A Foundation for Change: Using Challenges and Opportunities as Building Blocks for Collection Management

Abstract

Large-scale collection management represents not just opportunities in terms of space, budgets, and personnel but also an important responsibility for the library's ability to provide quality service and access to knowledge in the future. Libraries must address many challenges when managing collections, but by taking advantage of opportunities when presented, libraries can improve access for today and tomorrow. Using the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an example, this article will explore how opportunities like highdensity storage, shared print initiatives, digitization efforts, and mass deduplication can address challenges facing libraries and improve current and future access to collections.

Collaborative collection development: current perspectives leading to future initiatives

Participants' selection of this response reinforces other scholars' assertion that this particular type of collaborative collection initiative shows no sign of a diminishment in growth in both American academic libraries and across the globe ( Maddox Abbott, 2019 ). As these types of programs continue to proliferate, this specific type of CCD will firmly remain an important part of CCD's future directions.…”
