“…Each of these methods aims to generate a list, or lists, of journal titles that can represent what researchers would use, given certain assumptions. The collection management use to which these lists are put is often described in terms of journal cancellation exercises but, given the terms of the access/holdings debate [9,10], might be better described in terms of selecting the best sourcing option for each title. This paper is concerned with evaluating one of the techniques mentioned above, citation analysis, in terms of its practical value to librarians in making such selections.…”

“…Thirty per cent of respondents to the ARL SPEC Kit 204, Uses of Document Delivery Services [6], report that they have a separate budget line for document delivery. The University of Arizona Libraries funds all ILL costs, except rush deliveries, from its information access budget, formerly the materials acquisition budget according to Brin and Cochran[9]. The library plans to fund another pilot project for access to commercial document delivery services such as UnCover.…”

The Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC) Library, which is a member of the Association of Research Libraries with holdings exceeding 2,000,000 volumes and current serial subscriptions numbering more than 14,000, intended to serve a constituency of 25,000 graduate and undergraduate students and 5,000 faculty and staff. Documents how in fiscal year 1990, financial exigency resulted in the cancellation of 1,241 serial titles at the library for a saving of US$233,322.80. Describes how a review of the titles cancelled revealed a high percentage of international subscriptions; thus a major concern of librarians and local scholars was the potential impact that these cancellations might have on the availability of these materials for research. Shows how the SIUC interlibrary loan (ILL) staff has attempted to make the cuts reasonably transparent to the user by tapping traditional and non‐traditional sources to fill the requests produced by these cuts; such that in 1993 ILL made a commitment to integrate document delivery (UnCover, British Library Document Supply Centre, UMI and others) into its standard routines. Assesses the full impact of the cuts four years after the cancellation project. Examines the impact of the 1990 serials cancellations on ILL and the ILL response. Analyses ILL serial requests for the cancelled titles generated during a six‐month period in 1994, looking at availability through document delivery suppliers, cost of acquiring the articles, turnaround times and impact of ILL workload.

“…In practical terms, in the 1990s, this generally meant relying less on acquisition of stock and more on interlibrary loans or document supply. Writing from an American perspective, Brin and Cochran (1994) note that such discussion can be traced back to the 1970s, but became the subject of many more articles from 1989 onwards, citing papers offering general overviews and particular viewpoints, as well as treatment of specific aspects or reference to the concept while discussing other issues. In the UK, published case studies indicate that the debate was often described as access versus holdings, rather than ownership (Baker, 1992;Corrall, 1993), but the issues were the same; Crawford and Gorman (1995, p. 133) also use the phrase "access vs. collection", arguing strongly that the discussion should not be about access versus collection, but about finding the right balance between access and collection.…”

“…The case studies from the universities of Arizona, Aston and East Anglia all identify rising literature prices and inadequate library budgets as key drivers and technology as a critical enabler of the access strategies described (Baker, 1992;Brin and Cochran, 1994;Corrall, 1993).…”

The concept of collection development in the digital world

Collection Development in the Digital Age

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The concept of collection development is central to the professional practice of librarianship as the whole notion of a library is fundamentally associated with the idea of a collection, to the extent that the words 'library' and 'collection' are almost synonymous. Other terms such as 'information centre' 'learning centre' or 'discovery centre' are often used now instead of 'library' and terms such as 'information resources' may be substituted for 'library collections', but the activities and processes traditionally associated with collection development are still essential to the effective functioning of contemporary library, information, learning and knowledge services, even though they may look and feel quite different to their historical counterparts. Our concern here is to explore the concept of collection development in the digital library and information environment and in particular to examine how thinking and practice in this vital area of library and information management have developed and changed in response to advances in digital technologies. What are the similarities and differences between collection development yesterday and today? Investigating such questions should help to prepare us for dealing with the collections of tomorrow.The chapter therefore starts by examining a few definitions of the library as a collection to demonstrate the centrality of collection development to library and information professionals. It moves on next to the more problematic issue of collection development as a concept, showing how professional discourse on the subject has suffered from confused terminology. It then uses a convenient four-phase framework to review the impact of information and communication technology (ICT) on libraries, concentrating on effects on collections and their development. The final part of the chapter returns to academic and practitioner conceptions of collection development in digital environments, concluding with a set of questions for reflection on the future of collection development.
