“…It has also been asserted that CCD is about more than library budgets. CCD can result in improved collaborative relationships between partners who may seek to engage in additional mutually beneficial projects (Fong et al, 2010).…”

AbstractPurpose -The purpose of this study was to examine youth service librarians' use of collaborative collection development (CCD) behaviors and interlibrary loan (ILL) to collaborate with school librarians. Design/methodology -A quantitative design was implemented with a self-administered survey that was placed online. Findings -Public youth services librarians in the USA believe it is important to collaborate with school librarians. However, they are not frequently using collaborative resource sharing strategies. Public youth services librarians that have more experience, understand trends and issues in school libraries and feel they have knowledge of collaborative strategies are more likely to engage in collaborative resource sharing. Research limitations -The study was limited to 265 public librarians serving youth in the USA. This study does not present the perspectives of school libraries. Social implications -CCD and ILL between public and school libraries are overlooked practices for building relationships between public and school librarians that should be explored. Presenting the benefits of these strategies during training programs may increase the resources that youth can access, thus having an overall impact on the quality of life in communities. Collaborating will also help communities understand the value of libraries as institutions for promoting lifelong learning. Originality/value -The results provide evidence that public youth service librarians in the USA believe in the importance of collaborative relationships with school librarians. However, they do not frequently use ILL or engage in CCD behaviors with school librarians. Using ILL and CCD are two strategies that may be used to build stronger relationships.

“…35 Working with eight libraries, two book vendors, and four subject areas, they attempted to build a process that would control duplication of core undergraduate titles, build stronger overall collections, free selector time, and free funds for the purchase of unique materials. While the pilot did not effectively reduce duplication, save selector time, or save money, the pilot did push selectors and technical services librarians to develop new procedures and to work more collaboratively across the consortium.…”

“…The Colorado Alliance of Research Libraries piloted an initiative to manage duplication of monographs and establish a shared purchase plan. 45 Selectors at participating libraries developed profiles for approval plans in four different subject areas. Fong and colleagues reported that this plan did not meet its goals, in part because selectors had difficulty finding the time to work on the project; however, selectors did succeed in creating a culture of cooperation and experimentation.…”
